Older and wiser in preparation for baby number two

Second time around, Georgina O’Halloran vows to be better prepared for her new bundle of joy

BEFORE the eagerly awaited arrival of my little bundle, Ben, 15 months ago, it was almost impossible for me as a  first- time parent-to-be to appreciate just how much joy and chaos our new baby would bring into our lives

If you are pregnant and anything like me, you will find it difficult to even get your head around the fact that you will actually have a real-live baby at the end of nine months — despite having had nine months to get used to the idea! While we all know that a newborn requires round-the-clock care and that practically your every waking moment will be spent looking after their needs, it’s simply very difficult to grasp what that actually means.
