Hello!
Rebecca - nope, I am also one of the lucky ones who escaped from MS! I didn't have any side-effects except for a bit of heartburn for the last 2 months when I ate too much. Also managed to remain stretch-mark free on the belly (possibly due to Bio Oil, which I religiously used every day)... BUT, have only recently discovered that I have some stretch marks on the underside of my BBs!!! Oh NO!!!! DH said "Oh well, at least no-one will ever see them except me", which I s'pose is true. I am almost ready for bikinis this summer, tho would like to lose the last 4kg sooner rather than later. Am still walking for an hour three times a week with two other mums. We have to go at 8am now that its so hot and sunny, and I have got some baby-suncream for Milla (Sun Sense stuff, recommended by pharmacist)

Have just come home from an ABA Meeting - topic for discussion was meant to be the Billings Method of contraception (all to do with mucous changes...). In my hectic mothers group / walking schedule though, I think the ABA lot will be the first to go, as I don't really feel like I fit in there.. they all have lots of toddlers / little kids running around, there are no other first-time mums, and they spend a lot of time telling everyone how sick their kids have been!!! Now that we have mastered BF, I think I'll wait til I have questions about solids before going back.

Milla is still sleeping in her own bed for up to two hours at a time during the day now that we have got on to the Brauers stuff. I am going to have to buy a new bottle, and look up some info about how long they take it for. Its quite natural - homeopathic etc, but I still don't like the idea of her being reliant on it for too long. I have tried switching to soy milk but that didn't seem to work (although I didn't do it wholeheartely, and I still ate a bit of cheese, and a lemon tart...!)

Night sleeping is still a problem, and I wiiiiiishhhhh I could get a 5 or 6 hour sleep myself. If I went to bed at 7pm that may be possible, but I just can't do that. She sleeps from 7 - 1, and then from 1 - 4, then til 6. Then we are both up.... Long days.

I am staaaarving now, she is asleep, and I need to epilady my legs cos I have been forced in to wearing long trousers to cover up the hair, but its too hot!! So, stuff to do.

Hope you and your bubba's are all well,

Rhi
