At the moment, I'm mega stressed out getting everything set up, tired with a teething baby, and I have developed a fear that someone is going to expose me as a great big fraud who has no clue what they're doing! Every time I get an email, or a facebook notification, rather than getting excited about a potential new customer, I panic that I've done something wrong - of course it never is that (at least so far!).
This feeling reminds me of when I was returning to work after having Oscar, I really felt like I had forgotten everything, and couldn't believe anyone would listen to me and take me seriously. This is exactly why I want to do this project - even if you are returning to a job that you have been doing for a long time and are good at, it is still nerve-racking going back after a six month or year long break... starting a brand new job is even worse - not to mention finding one!
I hope I'll be able to support lots of lovely Mummies at that stage, with the anxiety of going back, finding suitable childcare, choosing the right hours for you and your employer, adapting to a new breastfeeding routine, and getting their heads around tax credits.
My lovely husband-to-be has taken the boys out for the afternoon so I can relax and I'm spending the time getting to know my shiny new sewing machine by making some bunting out of my ever growing bag of fabric.
