| Summary |
*Coarse Language*The first few weeks at home throw routines into turmoil as breast milk, and hormones, start to flow. As the feeding sessions step up so do the sleepless nights. Frustrations mount as the couples face first time parent problems such as assembling a pram, as well as getting it in the car.Back from the brink of a break-up, Harrie and Marti are beginning to come to terms with parenthood in very different ways. When Marti is called back to work early, Harrie's confidence is tested.Damien is determined not to let baby Matisse's unpredictable sleeping schedule get in the way of his daily gym routine, despite wise words to the contrary from Kiri's mum Alida. Kiri is also ambivalent about the changes to her life and wants to recapture their halcyon pre-baby days. But this is much easier said than done.Surf film maker Glen is more comfortable on a body board than pushing a pram and he's champing at the bit to teach Mako about the important things in life. Meanwhile, Amy finds a phone app is just what she needs in a household that's packed to the rafters with experienced parents and grandparents.School teacher Jennifer keeps a spreadsheet to chart baby Kaiden's every movement as Alan's paternity leave comes to an end. The hands-on dad reluctantly returns to long shifts at the hospital, leaving his mother-in-law to rule the roost with her strict Taiwanese confinement regime.PRODUCTION DETAILS:6 x 30 minutes.
