    I appear to have lost the ability to lift my toddler since Iris arrived. Going from holding a tiny newborn to trying to lift a 2 stone toddler in his sleep last night was actually comical, I had to bounce myself out of the Ikea Poang chair Laugh

    I have also realised that I know all the words in most episodes of Friends. Thank goodness for Comedy Central!

    Anyone else want to share?!

    It's like the toddler has doubled in weight overnight isn't it! I'm still struggling to lift J!

    I'm so glad you mentioned the size of the older child, N looks like a big beast compared to A, I can't get over the size of his head and how heavy he is!

    That there is a need for decent TV programming in the middle of the night

    That alot of TV channels loop the shows several times in a 24 hour period

    Flapjacks are in fact a stable food group

    Definitely agree about how a toddler has doubled in size and weight overnight. I thought this when O asked me to hold his hand.

    Ah yes, I is a monster now.  But how easy is it to change her nappy compared to little S's tiny bum.

    Also I had forgotten how lazy visitors can be and how much extra work they make and we did learn this time to encourage the toxic ones to leave and encourage the helpful ones or those who brought cake to stay!!

    I was watching something about the making of porn films last night as was so bored of everything else.  My boobs were bigger than all of theirs ROTFL

    Why is it so hard to change a newborn bottom?! I seem to be incapable!!

    The making of porn films?! ROTFL

    And is it normal to have zero motivation to get dressed?!
