Kazzy - Pilates and swimming should help your back heaps! A good way to develop core strength also is anything to do with balance - so standing on one leg while putting the other out in front or to the side. Also there is a great exercise called "hovers". You basically lie on your tummy and prop yourself up on your elbows and then lift your knees of the ground and rest on your toes. You may only be able to hold it for 10 seconds but gradually you can build up to 1min +. You just have to be really careful to brace your stomach muscles and not let your back sag down or your bum lift up - sometimes its called the plank as well because you want to keep your body in a straight line.

Yeah on the Pergola. My dh was preparing our backyard today also as we're about to pave a big section!

How much did Eden weight when she was born?

Yep - I'm still wrapping Louis. He does get himself out of it everytime but I think it still helps him to fall asleep because otherwise his arms would be flapping everywhere.

and Yep - Louis has started solids.

Ooh - lucky you with a massage.....
