SAB Posted April 17, 2009 Share Posted April 17, 2009 Well, it is back to work on Monday after adoption leave - going back 4 days per week (reduced from fulltime) - so won't be on forum quite as much. Cheers all for keeping me sane during my "time off from work" (love the phrase - have done harder and more important work in these last 6 months than ever!). Will still be around on forum though - wonder how long it takes me to log on after coming in at night - that should measure my addiction .

BeckyBoo Posted April 17, 2009 Share Posted April 17, 2009 Ooooh, going back to work after a new arrival can be hard, I cried buckets! I hope it goes well, I'm alright once I'm at work I just never really like the idea of it when I'm home! Sorry, I'm so bad at remembering who's had which baby, how old is your little one? Have I missed the piccies? Congratulations, belatedly, and I hope you enjoy being back in the big bad grown up world! BeckyBoo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SAB Posted April 18, 2009 Author Share Posted April 18, 2009 Thanks everyone! It was a wee boy we got age 4 and a half (now 5). He came with a fair bit of baggage, only to be expected, but is definately part of the family and settling well. We will be dealing with "issues" for years to come I am sure, but going in the right direction. As the legal part of the adoption is going through court just now I don't want to put his name or photo on forum yet (name bit unusual, so may be recogniseable) until he is legally mine - hopefully not long now!

Ana's flock Posted April 19, 2009 Share Posted April 19, 2009 Congratulations on the arrival of your new son. What a happy home to have for a 5 year old, with chicken loving people and little feathery friends! ...and don't worry about getting back to work - I cried a fair amount when I had to go back after the birth of my DS1 (working from home when DS2 came along), however, once you settle into the new routine you'll find work helps to maintain a sense of balance. I'm back to work part-time and people laugh when I say I go to work for relaxation! (and it's true!) Sending you all lots of love. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SAB Posted April 20, 2009 Author Share Posted April 20, 2009 Well, 1st day over and I feel I have never been away - it was non-stop all day, so I did not have the chance to get melancholy. I work with a great team of people, so have been glad to see them all again. Many thanks to all for your good wishes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
