twiglett, I know you have worked hard to get him this place, but let him go - he will come back. Honestly there is 3 years between my two, and if ds1 hadn't gone to nursery ithink I would have gone mad. Ds 4 & coming up on 1.
Yesterday I heard myself say only another 18 months and ds2 coan go to preschool.
Enjoy your 2 1/2 hours expecially before baby comes. I think with your first they grow up so quickly. Take care and think of the long bath you can have
