Welcome to This Glorious Mess Little Kids. A twice-weekly look at parenting as it really is - confusing, exhausting, inspiring, funny, and full of surprises. So many surprises!

What were you doing at 37 weeks pregnant? Were you patiently or even impatiently waiting for your new addition? Or maybe you'd already given birth! 

Well, our guest today Alinta, was in the final rounds of auditions for Moulin Rouge! The Musical when she 37 weeks pregnant. She was singing and dancing all while her daughter was sitting on her diaphragm. So what's it like going straight back into work after giving birth? And would Alinta have it any other way?

Plus this weeks listener dilemma, how can I organise the ever-growing Fisher-Price factory in my living room!
