My office is in the nursery
Hi all, this is very much a first world problem but thought it doesn’t hurt to ask. Our house is very small and so my PC/desk is in the nursery and the room is kind of split in half, I use it to game and create crafts on the side which I sell. Usually, I do this when baby goes to bed around 7pm as he’s not sleeping in that room yet and I get a good few hours every night and honestly I love this time it just makes me feel human again. Soon, our son is going to have to move into that room and I’m worried this means I won’t be able to use the room anymore in the evening as I literally have no where else in the house my desk can go. I just wondered if anyone was in a similar situation and either tried to use the room quietly and if that worked?

I doubt you’d be able to work from the room once baby moves in there.
Is it possible to move houses or better still build a little office in the garden (if you’ve got one)?
I’m having to build an office in the garden. I work from home permanently and in a two bed (just moved).
Can you make a little corner in the living room/bedroom instead?

Apologies if this seems petty
I have an almost 2 year old daughter
She’s my whole life I adore her
I had a bit of a meltdown yesterday
We found out we’re having another daughter & I absolutely weeped like I mourned a son that was never meant for me
I dreamed up an entire world with my daughter & this second child being a son & it’s hit me so hard knowing now that won’t be my reality
I’m finding it really difficult to accept
Has anyone felt this way
I see all kinds of families around me with & without children with boys with girls with a mix etc
I am so grateful for everything I have
I just can’t help this feeling
My heart aches

Tell me why???
The first thing I think of (after are they ok) when my husband says he's at the ER because our son got stung half a dozen times by wasps was "where are his glasses? He can't see without his glasses"
My son doesn't wear glasses.
He's fine btw

Sleep
My baby boy is 14 weeks and recently has been getting up earlier and earlier in the morning, he goes to bed 7-7.30pm and wakes once or twice in the night and wakes up at 7.. but now it’s 6am, 5.30, 5.15am. Any advice please, is he going to bed too early?

Baby sling/ carrier recommendations
Can anyone recommend a baby carrier/ sling?
I didn’t use one much with my first but I’m due to have my second soon and I’m thinking with 2 under 2 it will be useful to have my hands free and actually use one.
I don’t want to spend a fortune considering I didn’t use it last time but equally want something easy to get baby in and out of and comfortable wearing for me.
Thanks in advance.

When will I have more time for school or work?
Hey there I’m a ftm and been home with my baby for 6 months. I enjoy it but I’m also wanting to provide more for her by getting an education or mentorship. What age do you think is gonna be the best to start setting those goals? Right now I feel like I’m too busy with her and keeping up with our house.
