When I was pregnant with Sifra, I stumbled upon a list of ten things a mother-to-be should do during her maternity leave. The tips range from "sleep in late because you can still do it now" to "meet up with friends you haven't spoken to in a while because soon you won't have time for that".

Mother's column - lessons that mothers learn from upbringing children

Bedtime for Reinout. Before going upstairs, I give him a clean diaper. That may sound like a routine job, but it can be quite challenging to change a nappy. While holding Reinout in a vice grip, I shout: "Jan! I need the nappy wipes. And can you bring the pot of Sudocrem as well? And Reinout, please stay down for a while!"
