OMG :eek: how do you all do it???

I only had them for three hours and i was a bag of nerves! Baby slept for 2 hours then woke had a cuddle and filled her nappy. I changed her and then they came to collect.

Thing is, once baby K was awake i couldnt put her down for fear of one of the todders throwing somethign or trying to pick her up when i wasnt looking. The elder one L emptied ALL my cupboards in the whole downstairs. My son doesnt normally do this but soon joined in and he's older!

Def need to get my cupboard locks on b4 i start!

And i'm knackered. i've usually had 2 or 3 cups of tea by now but just not found the time to even flick the kettle on.

How do you all cope? I'm wondering if i've made a terrible mistake. :(

Sounds divine - enjoy the bedtimes as I am sure the rest of the time will be noisy!
