**** Pregpan!!! I am so happy for you! Wow at how quickly it happened too!
I can't believe how many of us are going again!
Oh bum, I came on to say something and now PP's good news has made it slip my mind lol
Congratulations Preg-again-pan!!! How very exciting. Now I'm starting to feel a bit jealous..
Welcome Nella
Well, after reading pages of posts I have a slightly numbed brain and will just say hello to everyone!
K is over last week's chest infection, now we are dealing with head lice! What a pain - she is the only one at day care that has it (they had to tell me, I hadn't noticed) but she has to have got it from someone there as she has no other contact with other kids (except her 7 month old cousin and she most definitely doesn't have them)
Will try and keep up a bit more, but this full time work and being a mummy is keeping me awfully busy!
pp- you couldn't hold that in for long could you??? ha, congrats again honey, it's amazing news....can't wait to hear all your preggo news
md- you're a crack up! i thought the way i got that personal invite that you must be coming to the dandenong ranges themselves, not just the state of victoria! ha, let us know whereabouts you'll be and we'll try to hook something up. clare might wanna come as well as ange.
all this talk about sandpits, i'm on dp's case about it now....we need one!
first the deck needs to be finished though gggrrrr
Yaaaaaayyyyyyyyyyy Pregagain!!!!!!! I got goosebumps when i read your post!!!!!
Congratulations to you, Dh and Noah. So happy for you.:clap:
Rainy, I thought your deck was getting finished last weekend?? lol, is your DP a tradie? You definitely need a sandpit, they are heaps of fun. The only downer is co-sleeping with a sandy toddler - no matter how much I shake and wipe him my bed constantly has a layer of sand in it. Hint: put sandy kid to sleep on DH's side of the bed lol
Cally, bummer on the head lice. My head itches now, I always have major nit paranoia. Luckily W is still a bit short on hair so not a problem for us yet.
Trill, that treatment sounds awful! I hope it treats you kindly and does a good job fixing the psorisis (sp?)
MD, any ideas what has caused the liver damage? Is if fixable? I guess your plans of being a short term alcoholic have been put on hold?
Clare, sorry to hear about your horror nights. Sounds really terrible. Has your tonsillitis cleared up?
Ange, how are you lately? Has the morning sickness and shingles gone?
PP, I am getting in early and predicting a little girl for you
Does anyone know when they are big enough to eat apples and raw carrot?
Thanks girls! Yep Rainy I am terrible at keeping this kind of thing a secret!!! Noone IRL knows, so I had to be able to talk to you all about it!
LOL sherie re the hot chicken rolls! YUM! look what you may have started!
Cally - i know how hard it is to juggle it all, how are you feeling about it all? Yuk re the headlice and that's all youneed! I better watch mr N will all his curls - he is prob a real candidate for it.. (though i never got them and I am a curly tops too!)
MD - what liver damage? i hope you are OK. how is E going with DH now> and how are you feeling about it all? when will you find out re the job?
Clare - how was last night? I posted in your thread abt it - poor you!
Trill - what treatment? oh i feel like a bad buddy now, i have no idea what is going on. sorry!
Arte - LOL at the sandy bed!!!
ok better do some work.. off to dr at 4... so not a v longwork day!
arte- yes, i thought my deck was getting finished last weekend too, but it is still not finished. it is driving me insane. if it's not finished soon i'm going to jump off it. yes dp is an electrician but he is a bit of a jack of all trades. sandy co-sleeping doesn't sound too nice- could be a good exfolient for my hairy legs though?
pp- are you feeling sick at all?
Rainy - I am totally knackered and I realise now whyIhave been in a VERY bad mood the last week or so... the last couple of days quite nauseous... i think i feel about as bad as the worst with N, as I harly got any sickness at all last time. mainly it is just fatigue though!I am also pretty bloated - thin i will show early. in fact thats partly what made me sure i would get a BFP, went shopping and clothes looked AWFUL!
Oh Cally bummer on the head lice. I use Banlice I got it from the chemist and its very very good. Its like a foam and really works well. Oh God now I am scratching I swear sometime only mentions the word lice and I am scratching.. lol The boys have got lice only once and at separte times too. Both from kindy. I check their hair now at least twice a week just to be sure.
Ok so I am really excited for all you ladies that are pg and the ones ttc.
:dance:
PP - no wonder you are planning on slowing down the trips to Melbourne, you will be exhausted with working, looking after N and growing another little bub. I think I am coping fairly well at the moment, although am looking forward to DH's thumb being out of the splint and usable again (2 more weeks). Also looking forward to my two day training in Wollongong in a couple of weeks.... Will miss K but can have a sleep in (although my body has been waking me at 6 anyway!)
Yes, my head has been permanently itchy since I was told she had them. Didn't even occur to me that she should be checked out (naive first time mum). It's so hard getting her to keep her head still though - best if she is eating!
Arte - I'm assuming once they have their molars they will be right for apple and carrot. DH gave K half a carrot on the weekend and she grated it on her teeth and created a huge mess - but had fun and he got dinner ready in the quiet!
Clare - hope tonight is a bit quieter at your place.
Hehe I am ON TO YOU Pregagain! Congratulations, I'm with Leanne & Cally (ie JEALOUS). Hope you have a smooth sailing pg and hope the MS fairy waves her wand at someone else!
Rainy you got a special invite cos in my has-no-actual-concept-of-where-we-are-going brain I thought you were out on a mountain somewhere - whereas the Melb girls are sorta all in the same place so we can work that out when I figure out when I'm going to be in Melb. Follow? So there you have it, a little peek inside MD's head and probably the reason why she couldn't string a logical thought together during her job interview LOL.
Trill, I'm glad you've found a support group, I hope there's a lot of good and reassuring information for you there and of course other people who've had the same thing and come thru the other side.
Cally -ewwww lice! I'm going to recommend the QuitNits products, you can get them at Woollies and I have found them to be effective AND they smell nice too.
Ok, re the liver (thanks for asking) I find the whole thing very alarming. The Dr showed me the pathology screen and the entire column of results is lit up red like Rudolf's nose on Xmas eve. Lucky for me she ordered a complete blood test before I was pg so there is a base line and it's definitely only happened since then. Have to have an US to rule out any thing like tumours, a cyst caused by parasites (EEEEEEEW), or a fatty liver. So far it's likely to be either that (fatty liver) or damage caused by medication. So caused by either Chocolate or Antibiotics. Or possibly something more sinister but definitely not any of the hepatitises they routinely screen for. Anyway the upshot is I'm really not supposed to drink alcohol which is a real bummer because I only just started having the occasional glass recently. So Arte you're right, it's a spanner in my shortterm alcoholic plan!!
Umm, E just squealed and it pierced my brain and made me forget everything else :rolleyes:. Sorry for self-obsessed post (again) you ladies are wonderful for reading any thing I write at all! :hug:
Md - when are you having the US? You poor thing, i hope it's not anything sinister:pray: You might just have to fill your wine glass with Sparkling Grape Juice - at least you can pretend then.
Do you know what, i'm really trying to look on the bright side at the moment. Apparently it has to be three times worse before you start to get symptoms so I'm lucky it was even picked up now (due to my thyroid paranoia) otherwise I could've been chewing down chocolate and pills and sucking down champagne for another couple of years with nary a clue. So in a way it's good because realising there's an issue is the first step to fixing it. Plus I've known all year that I just haven't "been right" physically so it's good to finally have something specific to work on, kwim?:
Anyway, I've developed a strong liking (during my pg) to San Pellegrino because it tastes dry like wine and goes so well with food, so i'm all sorted in the drinks department for now. But can you imagine my family at Christmas time...:
"Have a glass of champers, MD"
"no thanks"
"Go on, just one glass."
"no actually I can't, I've got this problem with my liver"
"OMG you're not pregnant are you?"
"no I'm not, I actually have a liver problem"
"Are you SURE you're not UTD?"...etc :rofl:
OMG OMG OMG Congrats Pregpan, what totally fantastic news.
Oh MD hun, I was wondering what the problem was when you touched on it the other day :hug: You're right though, at least you are onto it now and that it didn't go undetected for longer than it did. It will be interesting to see what my hepatic tests report considering all the chocolate I eat LOL.
Cally, I wouldn't have thought that live would go for babies hair because it's usually so fine and sparse and they can't hide as well kwim? I hope it doesn't take too long to be rid of them.
Re the sandpits, FIL built one for Lindsay when he was a toddler and built it with a shade structure over it, which is great - they can play all day and not get burnt, but the mozzies love it under there just as much so they always get covered in mozzie bites - Alister was in there the other day and got 3 in a few minutes. He does love playing in it, but it's not something he goes for everytime he's outside kwim?
CONGRATULATIONS PREGPAN!!!!!!!! Wow I am very happy for you. Let us know how the doc goes.
Haha I'm starting to feel a bit left out & jealous too (not in a nasty way!), we have no plans for another bub yet! Bet I've just jinxed myself lol
Cally - Oh nits what a pain. Makes me scratch my head too. I guess its easier having them now as they only have short hair. Wait till they have a full head of hair, good god what a nightmare. How is work going?
MD - Well done you were onto Pregpan's secret straight away! I liked Georgia Rule, just seemed a bit funny to be because thats what I picture Lindsay Lohan to be like in real person iykwim. Painted Vail is nice, DP kept rolling his eyes though. Sorry to hear about having to slow down on the wine hehe
Trillian - Congrats on moving A out into another room. Thats so cute him saying 'hey' to his father
My cousin had an engagement party on the weekend, but ended up coming out in a wedding dress and getting married. What a COOL idea, why didnt I think of that!? lol. Yes I am starting to be over wedding planning....
oh oh oh I was gonna do a mega catch-up post, but then got the confirmation from PP (i smelt a rat in the OB recommendation thread LOL!)!!
CONGRATULATIONS SWEETIE!!!!!
oh wow!
md - that's great that it was picked up early, and you have no symptoms.
mm - my cousin did that too! We were going for their engagement party at their house, and then the wedding party came out. It really was a special day. (except i wasn't really dressed for a wedding, and didn't put quite as much in the wishing well that i would have done for the wedding present)
Clare, is there a reason that you are looking in the Ob threads???
LOL we're all becoming pg detectives PMSL.:
yes i didnt factor in the 2 of you hanging around the OB threads..... ha ha ha!!! i guess it isnt too hard to work out when i am booking in an OB!!!
anyway - went to gp and all is good, he confirmed it but just with a POAS - so the same as home! took HEAPS of blood for all the ante natal blood tests... i forgot how much blpood letting was involved! will feel more real when i get them back next week. he isnt too keen on dating scans, whcih is a bummer as I am!! anyway edd based on dates 9th july. woo hooo
MD - what a positive atttitude you have about it all, sorry if i was blunt in asking, i thought i had missed the vital info. when are you leaving canberra? we will have to catch up beforehand!
oz and arte - it better happen for you too, i want you as Belly Buddies!!!
MM - i have also been to an engagement party that turned into a wedding - good idea!!! what are your plans?
BTW did any of you pick up the news that our dear frned MBEar is preg again too???!!!! i just saw it today in her ticker!
HOw are all the babies going with eating. N is majorly into self feeding now, current fave is pasta (normal pasta) with cheese sauce and vegies and tuna stuirred thru, hmm not my idea of a traditional finger food but it goes down well!
good question detective Arte!!!!!
Clare - I know a few good ones in Melb LOL!
hi girls
sherie and md- i promise i will keep eating chocolate in your honour if it comes to the point where you two can't eat it anymore, just in case you were worried about the fate of cadburys. i am right into caramello atm...
sherie- why do the mozzies love the sandpit so much? we have the most major mozzie problem here that it's not even funny. i just had to bring the dog inside cos i could see her getting attacked through the window. if sand attracts mozzies then it's over....
pp- just so you know.....i am absolutely huge......huger than last time.....and last time i had a 10bs3oz baby....i look like a whale right now...probaby doesn't help that i had a large pineapple jam donut for breakfast this morning on the way to playgroup....and i'm having pizza for dinner....i blame bfing whilst pg.
md- yes i do live on a mountain. are you visiting friends down here, you lucky duck?
yes i saw mbear is pg again- would be cool if she popped back in here
PAP - no, you weren't blunt at all. Leaving mid Dec, get together before then would be great, Cally are you heading up here anytime at all soon so we could see you again too? E is into self feeding too however her favorite is spoon and sloppy foods. Still not as good on the finger foods as I'd like her to be. Also starting to get a bit fussy about what we're eating :rolleyes:. Little piggy.
Rain, yes planning to see a couple of ooooooold GFs in Melb. Actually we'll be between residences but planned to make a horrible trip bearable by turning it into a little family holiday and catching up with a few peeps along the way.
Hmm you girls are making me clucky! Not going to happen anytime soon though, I am religiously taking my pill lol.
Clare - OMG is it true?!
Pregpan - Notice how we are all congratulating you in pink writing, I wonder if thats a sign its going to be a girl this time around...SO happy for you, lucky duck. Maddie also likes self feeding with pasta, the big curly ones with a sauce of course. Very messy but she loves it. She is a real little Italian.
Rainy - You make me laugh, picturing you pigging out on your donught! Go for it, use pregnancy as an excuse, and the bfeeding of course, besides what you put on in extra weight you will hopefully loose in bfeeding! ;)
MD - Oh no hope you dont get a million and one questions about being pregnant at chrissy. My family would be exactly the same.
Arte - I cant remember, are you ttc too?
It seems everyone is either ttc or have had their litter....I feel left out lol.
Now how is everyone going with teeth brushing? I must admit I have been pretty slack with brushing M's teeth. She wont let me come near her mouth with her toothbrush so I've shamefully let it slide. Please tell me I'm not the only one, or at least some tips!?
Oooh as for the wedding planning as a couple asked, I'm getting there, its all very simple really, a ceremony beside the Swan River on March 7th 09 and everyone back to our joint for a 'reception'. I've so far organised the caterer, celebrant, flowers (a guy at DP's work sorting for us as his wife is a florist), dress....still stacks to organise though.
Did anyone notice that also JordieC (with baby McKenzie) is also pregnant again! Has this already been said? bahahaha
WOW pregpan that is the bestest news. You've made my day. I was much sicker and fatigued this time round but surprisingly am smaller (for now). Probably due to running after H all day - lol. Only put on 4 kgs in 22 weeks. Last time it was more like 26kg by the end :redface::redface:
Hope both MD and sherie are feeling ok today, take care ladies.
H is doing ok with finger food, he much prefers it over mash, in fact, he's gone off yoghurt and custards as they require mummy to spoon feed him and that's for babies. :lol::lol:
It's so cute, seeing as Joel has been getting up to H if he wakes at night and usually first thing of the morning so I can maximise my sleep Hamish has taken to yelling out 'dad dad dad dad' upon waking. They play this little game . Hamish yells dad dad dad then Joel yells back Ha - mish, they go back and forth for ages with lots of giggles in between. Very cute.
Well after all that reading to catch up I am buggered lol.
Wow I cant believe so many of our little group are pregnant. I still catch up with 4 other ladies from our antenatal classes and 2 are pregnant and one is going for her second round of IVF, there must be something in the air.
I am trying to get up to speed with all the TTC lingo, so much to learn.
I reckon its because once you have one, you realise how special it is to be a parent. When I first found out I was utd I thought it was the absolute end of the world, but now I love being a mum & couldnt imagine my life any other way. I'm so happy for all our pregnant mummies!!
JG - Aww thats a cute little game between H & DH.
JG - how cute!!
MD - My niece is being christened on the 23rd Nov, so we will be up that weekend. Can probably do a catch up on the Saturday. Lucky you caught the liver problem early and can address it quickly.
K prefers finger food, but she will still eat from a spoon, but only if the plate is on the highchair tray so she can hold it!
Oh, hadn't noticed Mbear as well. How exciting! Had noticed JordieC, always keep an eye out for her posts as her DD was born on the same day as K.
MM - teeth brushing happens here occassionally. I have to hold her down and she screams and I just do it quickly (at least the mouth is open during the scream). DH seems to think that her sucking on the toothbrush is enough, rather than actually brushing. I'd probably be lucky to do it every couple of days.
Rainy - I think sand is often damp so the mozzies like it. K loves the sandpit at childcare.
Trill - I've never seen lice before, but they are tiny (even my mum said that and she's seen a few in her time) I can't see any eggs in her hair either so I'm a bit confused about the whole thing. She's the only one at the centre who they are aware of, but she has to have got it from someone there.
Well DD is having a bit of a sleep in so I might go and get some breakfast. DH is flat out with work at the moment and didn't get to bed until 2 so might let him have a bit of a sleep in this morning.
OMG biiiiiig CONGRATULATIONS to pregagainpan and family!!! how exciting :)
Hi girls!!
Ha ha ha! nooo no TTC on our part here yet. although a bub coming at anytime would be welcome i want to have this Phd up my sleeve before i have another little fry. although with DH so clucky ATM i might need to buy a big stick LOL!
Sherie: sorry girl i just read back through the posts and saw that you have a pretty major regime ahead of you for the endo. big massive :hug: i have to say it sounds really really intense. i hope and :pray: that this is just the ticket you need to be pain-free.
MD: i'd give the antibiotics more credit sista. we have a mum in our IRL group here wh had liver failure caused by her ABs for mastitis.
Cally: re the lice. i have had them quite a few times as a kid (hhhmm public qld schools anyone? LOL). the eggs are super tiny and really really stick to the hair (cleaner the better). the best way to find them is to use a knit comb over a basin and see as they drop in. (just make sure to 'pop' any lice you see...).
JG: yeah Leila is the same. doesnt like to eat baby food (ie anything that needs mum or papa...). she does try to pick it up with her fingers...so you can imagine the disaster zone.
oohh dont you love it when they yell out to you?!! leila is doing papa papa papa...then when that fails i get a look in with mama...then when even that fails (ie no one responds) it's stella stella stella! LOL!
Rainy: yeah i am with cally, it's because the sand is prob damp and that is the only way that the mozzies can get drink water...kinda like bees. is there anyway you can cover the sand?
oh gawd, if i were to get bigger than last time!! i put on 17kgs!!! (and my baby only weighed 2.7kg!)
MM: yeah, i think TTC babies at this age is because we have gone through the hard yards of newborn have these gorgeous babies on the threshold of toddlerdom and can just see how beautiful they were and how gorgeous they are going to be. i think it is an inspiring age.
as for the teeth brushing...well, i reckon we only get around to it maybe once or twice a week. some weeks are better. Leila has one in her room and one in the bathroom which helps me to remember. i usually try to get her to do hers when i am doing mine (of course i brush mine more than once a week LOL!!).
oopps have to go, L is cracking it. i think a wee snooze is in order
p.s. she slept last night!!!!!
hey everyone,
well ill try and do a decent post haha last time i was interupted by a yoghurt covered baby screaming to get out of her high chair lol so now that shes had a bath and ive had a shower im back to attempt it again..
tho she is currently climbing on the lounge to reach the shelf grrrr i cant stop her doing it she just pulled down a half full can of coke onto the lounge ahhhhhhh... does anyone else seem to have an overly naughty baby? asha is really cheeky and into absolutely everything especially things i dont want her to be.. we had to safety gate off the bins because she was constantly taking things out and eating them or trying to drink from old cans.. she pulls everything off shelves or the desk or anything she can reach, if you leave magazines in her reach they are torn up within seconds shes like a puppy lol.. when i fold clothes she promptly unfolds them or pulls them out and throws them on the floor. she climbs and jumps all over the lounge, god help me if she gets in the bathroom!! i really dont know what to do with her when shes naughty.. any ideas? i was smacking her but i really want to stop that because i found myself sometimes smacking her when she really didnt have much warning or smacking her too hard i think i need to stop it because not only do i feel guilty but i think i let my temper get the best of me which is really unfair for her.. is she too young for time outs? anyone? i know it probably sounds like im over reacting but its all day long shes doing these things and she knows i dont want her to do them but she just laughs when i tell her no and goes back to it but when i start coming over to her shell sometimes run away i spose because she knows shes going to get smacked ahhh idk its all a bit frustrating atm!!
cassius - congrats on the sleep!! and how cute at leila yelling out for the dog hehe (stella is the dog right? oh god im sorry if shes not)
cally - hows the lice problem going?
mm - i think ur right once u see and feel just how special it is you start to wonder if u could possibly do it again and create another beautiful little life.. teeth brushing dosnt happen overly often here i have to admit asha isnt overly interested i should try harder tho she has 6 teeth now...
katie - lol on the ttc lingo there really is alot of it isnt there?
sherie - sorry to hear about your endo problems, hope everything goes well with the treatment.
md - wow liver problems i had a chuckle about u thinking everyone will think ur utd hope everything goes well for you too..
hi to anyone i missed hope your all having a lovely day!!
Hey everyone!
Noni, usually just distracting them works best at this age - move them right away from what they were doing and give them something else to do. But it's frustrating isn't it? Alister is very much like what Asha is and dong the same things. Although he has found the bathroom and discovered that there are DRAWERS in the bathroom (he loves opening drawers ATM) and found the one with all the girls hair ribbons, and bands and clips, so they are always being pulled out. So I just have to make sure the door is always shut, but he gets in there when the other kids are in there.
Re the self feeding, Alister was going good with the finger foods, but has regressed lately and is just putting as much as he can fit into his mouth, then he realises he can't chew it, so he spits it out. So we are back to feeding him - sometimes mashed veg with meat pieces (like we would have anyway) and other times I will pass him pieces of food one at a time.
Took the first dose of Methotrexate today and so far the world hasn't fallen apart LOL.
OhMiFricckenGawd! You would think they would at least tell us the risk!! I looked it up last night on the TGA website, and the list of 'suspect drugs' (we're talking that caused reactions bad enough to result in DEATH) and it reads like everything I swallowed in that first 3 months after E was born. I was given a lot of scripts for mastitis too but only had them filled when the pain got really bad and aren't I pleased about that now. But I have also eaten an awful lot of chocolate in the past 12 months so not entirely ready to discount that theory either.:
MD: i'd give the antibiotics more credit sista. we have a mum in our IRL group here wh had liver failure caused by her ABs for mastitis.
Sherie, I really hope the meds do their work quickly and don't give you any grief. I think it's a good sign of how healthy you are mentally that you feel conflicted when you take it. Just remember our bodies have an amazing capacity to heal, with a little help from the specialists when we need it from time to time. :hug:
Cally, that weekend sounds good although you might get the pleasure of my eldest DD's company as well, since DH is slated to go away again :wall:. Pregagain - does that look like a good date for you?? BTW I find it nearly impossible to see lice in my DD's hair, combing thru with conditioner's the only way I can check for them.
Re TOOTHBRUSHING - a tip given to me by the parentsasteachers lady this week was to stand behind them and brush. Less daunting for everyone, less likely to poke an eye out, and also they can't push themselves backwards. This also works for nosewiping if your child gets hysterical everytime you try to wipe (like mine does :rolleyes:).
Noni it helps if you can think of them as not naughty, but 'exploring'. They're still learning about boundaries and I get just as frustrated too. E is into everything especially those things I don't want her playing with, and the carryon when I tell her no has to be seen to be believed. Move her away from teh thing you don't want her to have and give her something which will distract her. This might be singing a song or doing an action rhyme on the spot. And praise her like crazy when she does the thing you want. Re the magazines, I keep a few that I'm finished with (or shopping catalogues) and put those on the coffee table for her to play with/tear up so I can read mine in peace. Bins: I found these excellent velco tab things that stick onto everything and I've used them to shut the flap on the bin ( bought a new bin so it would have a lid), she hasn't worked out how to get it open yet. Try putting the lounge cushions on the floor so she can climb and jump on them there. She gets to jump around, you get peace of mind that she's not going to crack her skull open! Do you have a yard? My DD1 really started enjoying being outside at this age (can't do that here cos our yard is pretty unsafe and we're moving so not worth the trouble of baby proofing out there at this stage). Time in the sandpit/on the grass always seems to keep them busy and calm them down at the same time. And when all else fails there's always the playpen/highchair/cot with a few toys just to give you a 10 minute breather.
JG I agree, very cute. But do you actually get any extra sleep? :lol:
Marydean, I suppose that's the catch22, we have to do what will help us now, and hope that we escape with minimal damage in the long term. Is your problem reversible though?
I forgot the toothbrushing! We don't really do it, but he loves to walk around the house with his toothbrush in his mouth so I just leave it at that for now.
I have always done the 'stand behind, hold their forehead and wipe' thing with their noses LOL - it's the only way you can do it effectively without them ending up covered in snot.
I soooo never knew to do this with DD1 and she went around with a teensy bit of not-quite-wiped snot for a few years there LOL. So glad the penny has *finally* dropped.:
If it's caused solely by ABs or Chocolate, it should be reversible (you can cut of a piece of liver and transplant it into a child and it grows into an entirely new whole liver again!! :clap:) but if there's another underlying problem (less likely) then I don't know. I guess as we all get older there will aspects of our health that we simply 'manage'. I must admit I do feel suddenly "older" having had E than I ever did before I was pg with her!
MD - do you mean your body feels older now, that the pregnancy and running around after E has taken alot out of you? I hope it was the abs, if it was chocolate, then I have grave concerns for the state of DH's liver! That would be fine if DD1 comes along too. Pregpan - what do you think?
Noni - DD is like that too, into everything. We just make sure that she can't reach something, I figure at this age they are exploring everything and don't understand why sometimes they are allowed to rip things up and other times aren't. So good books, magazines etc are up high, no drinks on coffee tables, nothing on the edge of the bench or desk that she can reach. It's a little bit harder to start doing it, but once you get into the habit it's easier. And it makes life a lot less stressful. And the good old shutting the door trick works wonders too!
Cally, well I'm blaming it on chocolate but really if it's that it's because I'm a fattie. BUT I was a fattie before for years and healthy as an ox, no problems so I really wonder if it's as simple as that. BUT if you need an excuse to stop DH eating so much choc so that there's more for you, go ahead, use the liver line! :lol: By being older, I just feel like my bod has not been 'right' since the pregnancy, I just haven't bounced back like I did when I was younger. Lots of aches and pains, kwim?
