I only work 2 days a week in my paid job...so when my husband asked me the other day if there was a chance I could increase to three days....lets say the reaction wasn't the best on my part.

I am unsure why really as going to work is only 8 hours out of my day (unless of course the surgeon is running late and we have to stayback), apart from the fact I want to spend every moment I can with A as he is growing so quickly!!

As I was sitting at work last night waiting for our final patient to recover, I thought, this is what my life was like last year....working...home....working....home... However last year at work, I was dreaming of what life was going to be like as a mum, thinking of great baby names and being a very caring nurse towards my patients.

Last night, all I could think about was whether W had fed A his meal, bathed him after day care and made him all snuggly and warm. Funny how life can change and the little things in life are the best!

Oh and PS, no extra days available at work anyway....!!
