First day flying solo with two kids. Not going too badly at all really – it's after four thirty and I have achieved the Nirvana of parenting: both of them are asleep at the same time. Mind you it took a car trip out to the mall to get Maggie to stop grizzling and go down; she now smells strongly of poo (which we're studiously ignoring) and I practically ruptured myself carrying her sister in from the car to the couch. What with the pregnancy and then the c-section it's been literally months since I picked Becca up and I could barely stagger into the house under her weight, which appears to have doubled. Speaking of which, Maggie is seven weeks old today and nearly grazing the 5kg mark. I am going to make the most of this priceless moment by sneaking off to snatch a quickie few pages of my book (Margaret Atwood's latest, Moral Disorder) while I can.
