    Missy - I definitely know what you mean. I get it too and cant stop thinking about it but then I dont want to get preggers without losing weight and push myself into the high risk category simply because I was too clucky lol. I really have to finish midwifery before we try too, it can be pretty stressful with assignments coming outa my ears but gotta keep going, couldn't forgive myself if I quit and I just love my job too. Only 2 mths before I finish uni so I shouldn't complain and just get stuck into it.

    Mel- ouch..... thats a killer. Does hubby help out much? will they both sleep for you today so you can get some zzz's?

    My daughter woke every 2 hour's for her first 4 months (and she did this nearly all day long so i wouldnt get much chance to sleep, not if i wanted to eat and shower lol)... i by the end of that 4 months was a wrek!

    Amy- awwwwww your nieve'ness is refreshing..... but just wait! When you have had a string of good, un disturbed night's sleep.... it is EASY to deal with a newborn. BUT, when you have a toddler, who by all means would of had you up most night's so by the time #2 come's your already sleep deprived, living the routine that Mel did last night (and most nights) really is so exauughsting you loose the capability to 'enjoy' the 2 am fee'ds and cuddles.... cause im sure Mel, like myself really enjoyed them when it was all new... with our firsts....

    Lea- ok then, so we both need to feed eachother's strength!!! Cause i so nearly blew it last night, im just damn lucky DF is soooooooo controlled! See i went off the pill 2 months ago, so my body could have a break before we ttc. So we use condoms atm, welllllllllll as you can see by my post from last night, when DF did the good ol' tap on the shoulder when he got into bed, i soooooooooooooo just wanted to DTD without condom's!!!! But, good ol' fathful DF who is very good at control, got the condom .... uno what was weird for me, as soon as he did that meh, i couldnt of been less interested... really killed the mood. lol my body has fully kicked into ttc mode..... i think cause he got the condom (so no chance of baby lol) my body just turned off.. how weird is that.?!

    Isnt it funny how we work..

    Last week, i was insistant on condom's... and although i knew i wanted more i wasnt really clucky.... and then bam!!!! all i can think/talk about is baby's... and it has gotten to me so much it altered my sexual being ...... i definately dont want it to do that with DF as he will then feel like just a "sperm donor" and think im not interested in him just for what we do together... its so hard to explain how strong this is... i tried last niht, but i just couldnt explain it right..... :S

    Ahhh well....

    Well, better go and get some things done..

    So, when is whoever is doing Mel's diet, starting it? im just trying to work out when to start it, so i know and can plan! (i.e buy the food for the diet and not buy the food not on the diet ha ha ha)

    Ok, me out for now

    OHHHH by the way... My name's Rebecca- but you guys can call me Becc (but shhhhh no one else on Belly Belly knows hehehehehe :P )

    Mel, I have to agree with Amysarah. When Miss Charli was a newborn she was waking at about 10.30, 1.30am and 4.30am for a feed. but I was lucky by 12 weeks she was just waking at about 5am.
    How old is Mehlekti now? Sounds like she is doing really well

    Lea, I'm like you. I really want to lose the 20 kilo's for the sake of having a healthy pregnancy. With charli I developed PE at 35 weeks and I know there is apparently no link between weight and PE but I think if I'm healthier it will definately help. And I sooo want a vbac next time so will be doing everything to improve my chances.
