Lea – good luck with the exercise! I’m on it too – I try to do two days of walking and one day off just until I’m completely recovered (I do feel completely recovered but I have a tendency to overdo it and I don’t want to hurt myself! I’m not sure if I’ll get around to it today, but you’ve reminded me that I have an awesome yogalates DVD that I can do tonight just in case. Yay on being 60 kg too! That’s awesome. Can’t imagine that right now, although I have lost one kg in the last few days, taking me down to 75. Still 11 to go… * sigh * I know what it’s like to have no clothes too – I’m a size 12-14 atm (I think I’d be a 12 all over except for the baby belly!) but I’m usually a 10 so it doesn’t feel good. We’ll get there, don’t worry! Sorry, I can’t help you with the bleeding thing, but I hope it eases soon – it must be annoying! Bugger I don’t live closer to you – I’d love to help take some of you extra clothes off your hands! Which musicals did you watch? BTW, I would just buy a pack of the bigger nappies and try them to see if they’re any good… you’ll use them eventually anyway, right? You might have to fold the top over if they fit everywhere else.

Shan – that’s really interesting that running reduces your milk. I never realised that it could have an effect like that. I’ll have to watch out for myself (I didn’t do any exercise until Charlie was 4 months old so I didn’t notice). Thanks for the lovely compliment about my babies – we like the think that we breed ‘em cute and strong… both Charlie and Toby have had very good neck strength since they were born. Toby holds his head up on his own and has done so for about a week! That explains all the partying in my tummy – he was building up his strength! Don’t worry to much about the extra weight – it will come off. I think sometimes we put too much pressure on ourselves to be perfect so soon after giving birth, and the reality is very different to that. Hope you managed to get some sleep too – are you still getting up to DD through the night as well? How is she coping?

Sheree – I’m so glad you’re feeling better, and I’m really glad that Wade is being wonderful. It certainly helps, doesn’t it? And HOORAY for the extra long sleeps! Hope it lasts for you… it’s amazing how much better it makes you feel.

Angelique – glad to hear you’re feeling better about everything too. Hope the good sleep lasts! Hope the immunisations go well too.

Alison – hooray for grocery shopping and cooking on your own! Bugger that DH isn’t doing what you want him to with Cooper, but hopefully he’ll come around eventually. Hope the check up goes well too.

Toby was better last night, thank goodness. As a general rule, he settles well and is contended most of the time except for when he has wind pain or something. He slept well last night except for when he kicked his blankets off and was cold! He’s a bit unsettled at the moment – kept waking up every ten minutes or so in his cot – so DH has got him in the Baby Bjorn now and he’s better. I really wish I could use that but my back is bad… which reminds me – for those who have had epidurals I have a question. I remember when the anesthetist put the needle in my back it triggered a pain just to the left of my spine a little lower down than where she was putting it in, but once she got it all sorted it was fine. The last few days, though, I have been getting pain in the same place – nothing too serious, but an ache that makes it hard for me to pick things up from the ground. Does anyone know if this is normal? Or if it will go away eventually? I’ll ask the GP next time I see her but I thought I’d ask.

Anyway, better go and organise dinner and get ready to go for a walk. Hope you’re all having a lovely Monday.
