I agree, poor hubby... still, hopefully plenty of time...
Don't worry - huge rollercoaster of emotions I think is PERFECTLY normal... lots of panic, OMG feelings, I can't do this, not sleeping in case they make a noise...
Chill babes.. you can do this, you will do this, and you WILL make a difference..
Every day a huge step forward... if you ever find a spare minute in your new life, log on!!!

I'm so grateful for you ladies - I think that you are the only people I can talk to that know what I am dealing with.
It has been a roller coaster 24 hours! I didn't expect to have to deal with how many emotions that I have been feeling today.
My DH is an amazing man and is a wonderful father and I have missed him badly today. If for nothing else than having to build the highchair ;)
The LO is so settled, he's not strange with me at all, and loves to trail about after my 3 kids.
He had contact with both mum and dad (separately) and I got to meet them both and I am actually really impressed with his Mum, I just hope that her actions sound as loud as her words.
I am not so sure about the LO's social worker I think she has taken the p**s somewhat today, but I have done for it today for the LO but it's not carrying on (things like I said I needed to leave at 2.45 and I ended up getting to leave at 3.15! (I had to get a friend to pick up MY kids)
Thankfully the LO sleeps well - slept all night (you can keep the sleepy dust for just now SSM he sleeps 8-8
Have had a few moments when I have been feeling like I am standing on the edge of a cliff thinking what on earth have I done, saying you can do this and doing it are 2 different things
but one day at a time, and I know when DH gets home it will feel easier.
thanks again ladies - hoping all you and your LOs are doing ok, and the ones on the journey to this point keep going it is worth it x x x

oh well done honey bun... glad he settled well enough...
sw taking the p**s - hmm.. that sounds very familiar..
standing on the edge of a cliff.. hmm.. that sounds very familiar too...
God, its a wonderful job but God, it can be difficult and emotional one too...
My LO's doing superb - they saw someone dressed up as a monkey yesterday at a play centre and were just stunned - I couldn't help but cry at their delighted faces.. 
Keep up the good work, hope hubby back real real soon, and stand up to the SW's !!!
