Sorry, haven't got ANY advice for you, but I am in pretty much the same boat. Our DD's are the same age... I am 23 weeks pregnant, and apart from when I am at work (and she at childcare, 2 days per week), I am used as a climbing frame and cuddle machine. She always clings to my legs and asks for "up cuddles" - and I am finding it increasingly difficult to oblige My midwife suggested we introduce special "couch cuddles" and "bed cuddles" and that "up cuddles" be a Daddy thing from now. If I get her really involved in an activity (blocks, playdough, drawing..) she will do her own thing for 5 - 10 minutes, but then its back to mum.. I am mostly OK and not hating the touchy thing so much (yet!!!), but I dont like being climbed on and having her elbows and knees poking my belly. I don't know what to suggest, but I feel for you... I hope once your new baby arrives your DD becomes engrossed with it, and is able to share you!! Big hugs (of the non-touching variety!!)
