Wedding

Carden at 6 weeks.

Hello my name is Tania. I am a New Zealander married to an English man named Daniel and living in Bahrain (just off the coast of Saudi Arabia if your geography is as bad as mine). We're both young to be out here in the Middle East - most people our age have grown up here with their parents.

I am a working mum, I waited until Bryn was 2 because I didn't like the thought of working with a little one - but with Carden went back when he was 6 weeks.  We have a nanny who looks after the boys while I'm at work - she's great.  My job is flexible and works well for me - but doesn't leave me with much time to myself! I enjoy working though and find that I appreciate the boys more and enjoy them because I'm not fed up with them all the time! Most of the time I'm on the Minti website using my BlackBerry while breastfeeding my baby (fully breastfed apart from one bottle of breastmilk per day), so I often have problems leaving comments (and sometimes make the same comment twice hehe).

I don't have the time to go to mums and babies/toddlers groups so this is my subsitute - most of my friends are either stay at home mums,a lot older than me, or working women with no kids so I guess I'm hoping to come across like minded people too :)
