Our's is 3 years old now and when I look back 0 to 12 months was the easiest. Yes she was awake every night. My OH was very sick after the birth and had glandular fever which meant that she needed a lot of bed rest. I was up every night with the child. When the night shift ended, I looked back and realised that I got used to being up at night and it didn't knock a bit out of me.

At 3 she is into everything now and it's so hard to watch her. You can't bring her anywhere because she is so loud and has no fear. The last time we brought her too mass she went up to the altar in the middle of mass and to the priest to talk louder cause daddy can't hear him.

Definitely the first 12 months are the easiest - enjoy them while you can!

Bah humbug who needs Christmas.

All I want is a break from the day job which I have from 5.30 tomorrow until the 2nd of January. After that I can enjoy time at home with the family and tip about on the farm.

Sorry to hear that Dubacc. Its terrible when you and OH have a private loss like that, grief over what might have been, and possibly no one else even knows. All I can say is not to give up hope, you never know what will happen. It's much more common than you think. Have the Tshirt here. We'd pretty much given up on the hope. Now we have two fantastic healthy little boys. Take your time and try again when ye feel ye are able.

I'll tell you where you went wrong, ye've only the one that's the whole problem. two more and the 3 year old going up to talk to the priest would be the least of your worries, in fact you'd be quite sanguine about it, TBH that's mild just under 7 years ago our second fella who was three at the time blew out the candles on the advent wreath at Christmas eve mass. The priest had invited all the kids up onto the altar as the church was so full but still it had to be our lunatic that did it.

Mrs freedom just reminded me that the same chap removed the baby Jesus from the crib the following year, I'd forgotten all about that one.

Yes, same here, I am leery about buying a lot of stuff in Ireland. With a bit of mouse clicking and key tapping they can often be found significantly cheaper online even including postage costs. Rip off Ireland is alive and kicking all the time.

I would be happy to support local if they had reasonable prices.

I would well believe it. I have had some amount of stuff come here by courier. Everything from ammunition to electronics to boom sprayers. Even got 2 14 foot metal high seats (for shooting) from USA lol.

Bobby Kerr was on radio yesterday or the day before about supporting local, but consumers only have a finite amount of money, retails who have their own bills need to realise this.

Yep first two presents opened, Bekina wellies and a munster hoody.
To see the small one ripping thru the wrapping and the look on her face was priceless.

Hope everyone has a great day.

My non farming missus got me Hunter Balmoral wellies , didn't need new wellies but these are impressive, due to the leather effect finish I won't be able to wear them in any field next the road .
