Don't worry so much, multitasking skills come when the need arises, although they can depart at times and leave you in a bit of a brain fart - but again that is normal too! ;-) I do think 'Plan B's' are a good idea, as mentioned above - get working on that network of helpful people, while you still have the time and patience to be nice to them! You're a lovely mummy honey :-D It sounds like you’re doing a great job!

As well as the niggling 'can't back out now, what the HELL was I thinking?' panic in the back of my head :) Do you think there are any strategies you can come up with beforehand that might help you out? Ummm... organising regular babysitting + alone time, etc? I'm a big fan of not just reassuring myself that I'll be fine, but setting things up so that I'm almost _guaranteed_ to be. Makes it easier if things do go belly-up. *hug* I know that feeling. As well as the niggling ‘can’t back out now, what the HELL was I thinking?’ panic in the back of my head :)

All mothers do!! Declan will learn to wait (and that's not a bad thing at his age). Writing "to do" lists to remember to eat and brush your hair - well - that's another question all together??? Never mind darling, we love you as you are. Unique!!! XXXOOO Fern, you ARE a fabulous mother and I have no doubt whatsoever that you will learn to multitask. All mothers do!!
