I've made an appointment with my GP this afternoon to get things checked out. I was a bit uncomfortable last night while I was laying in bed. I really am a bit worried that things aren't right down there...I'm kind of wishing I'd told them to get Jazz out by c-section now.

Danni sorry you're feeling so bad . If you'd had a cs you'd be much sorer and have a scar to worry about. I'm sure everything will be OK. Lucky you getting into the dr's this afternoon.

thanks SJ - we also put him in his bouncer and he likes the toys tehre. i did see those feet and hand rattles the other day.

danni - all the best, take care hun

Yes I know, but I'm sure my insides wouldn't be falling out if I had a c-section!

LOL Prama, can see steve reading that to him. The girls have to read to me for homework and i get them to read to summer, everyone wins there plus its so cute to watch them involving her.

Catherine, it re-charges the batteries having a day like that well done you deserve it.

I went to the horse this morning, my friend that looks after him has pilates equipment so i went and had a session, it makes you so aware of how out of align my muscles are she said it will really help my back so WOO HOO to that, i think my back is sore from doing weights. My horse is really lame today so we have had the vet check him out and he is on pain killers antibiotics and all bandaged up if it doesn't get better we might need x-rays. We were going to compete in a dressage event in June and the vet was saying worst case scenario he might never recover and wont be able to be ridden competitively.... BUGGER!!! it is one thing after another he has had so many accidents or injuries.

Anyway off for booby call sorry for short personals my day isn't quiet like i hoped.... Maybe tomorrow???

Trina - your poor horsey . hope he feels better, poor baby.
it's so cute having the girls reading to summer.. hehe she's going to be so smart and ace her homework when she goes to school!

i just realised after you mentioned about backs that might isnt quite as strong either. im hoping my yoga will help. i knew my back got sore quickier, i just attributed it to my old back problem but didnt realise that it was post pg.

dr couldn't see anything abnormal for someone who gave birth 8 weeks ago. She said by the sound of what i've described I may have a slight prolapse after doing a number two. She said to just push it back and make sure I do pelvic floor exercises lots. I was also told no DTD for at least another month but heavy petting is ok, just no intercourse.

Hi girls,

Wow i am so behind in posting - been a busy few days. We had friends over for a bbq yesterday for Doni's birthday which was nice, ended up with 20 people over. Everyone brought their own meat and drink and just had to prepare a salad which was nice and easy and had lots of helpers to clean up as well. Thank god for garbage collection though, both bins are totally full.

Went to mums and bubs class today, and walked lots of hills etc which felt great. Also did some walks last week as well and plan to walk to and from the mothers group meeting this Wednesday (providing it doesn't rain of course). Decided to get DJ immunised tomorrow night instead of Thursday that way Doni is with me for it and can help me get him settled afterwards. Not sure how he will be but plan on giving him the childrens panadol before and after to help him with any pain.

Prama - hope you are feeling better, Ness said you weren't well. Wow Lakshman is almost 12 weeks old, that is fantastic and boy that has gone so quick DJ likes his rattle, starting to hold onto things as well. I have a Lamaze Spin and Explore Garden Gym thingy for tummy time, which I try to get him on a few times per week because he isn't fully ready for it yet...... otherwise I read to him, dance around, talk to him and also put on foxtel and watch some of the more educational type programs.

Trina - well done on the pilates equip, I am hoping to do a pilates class this week actually My back isn't what it used to be either, pregnancy has stuffed it up.

SJ - yes 'let down' and dripping has happened to me heaps, just ask Prama. After our mums and bubs class last week we were having coffee and my pads weren't fixed properly into my bra and I started to leak so had wet patches - too funny!!! Good to hear you had a nice catch-up with Jo and Caitlin did you take any pics?

Danni - hope the bleeding stops for you. Mine went away after 5.5 weeks thankfully but it is a pain having to wear those pads. I ended up getting liners because it was only light.

Backs - my back is bad as well, was vacumming the other day and my back was killing me!!! I don't think it will ever be the same again.

Teething - DJ is drooling heaps now as well, so maybe he is starting to teeth also. I will ask the community nurse tomorrow night when I get his immunisation done.

Birth certificate - still haven't received it - talk about slack hey???

Sorry for the short post but DJ is screaming for booby time!!!

Hope everyone is well.

Hi everyone! I had such a lovely day yesterday. We went to church in the morning and then went to some friends of ours for lunch. I was able to stay at their house all afternoon and evening and had a wonderfully relaxing evening watching 'thank god you're here' on DVD. Flynn was wonderful all day. He actually slept for more than 20min during the day! He was a lot more content, feeding better and generally being wonderful! Exactly what I needed, so grateful! My hubby did our dishes at home too!

Kitty I'm so glad that you are feeling a bit better. This is such a wonderful site isn't it! I'm so glad someone put me on to it! They should put something about it in the Bounty Bags I reckon!

Prama I'm glad you are feeling better. I'm hoping that I don't get any colds this year. I can't imagine feeling rotten and caring for a bub! We don't tend to use a lot of toys. I have been singing to him "heads and shoulders, knees and toes" and doing "this little piggy" with him. He seems to enjoy that. We have a few things that we dangle in front of him, which he sometimes accidentally touches! Lately he has been intently staring at the toy frame which I put over him when he is on the floor. Tha is funny about the formulas! My DH wants Flynn to learn all the tools so he can help him under cars!!

Trina Wow what a weekend! I hope you are able to have a more relaxing day today!

Sammie LOL!! I never go without breast pads! In hospital I had no idea that breast didn't have a 'stop valve' so I completely soaked my nightie and the sheets, that was fun! Since then I have always used pads!

Bron Glad you got to spend that time with your DH, sounds like it was very lovely! You gotta love relatives! Hope it goes well.

Danni I'm glad that you are getting checked out. Hope it's nothing serious.

catherine - lol about the cars! DH has already he decided he;s going to build him a computer and get him tools to help with his other hobby - woodwork!
Lakshman is almost 12 weeks and it's the last few weeks that he started to enjoy his toy frame over his playmat. at flynn's age he would just stare too. now he laughs and makes coo-ing sounds.
