Hey girls, I am up and about feeling toally fine, just a bit slower than usual.

Beany, the stitches don't feel like anything at all...Yesterday I felt a tiny bit sore but it was moire like I had my period or something (I guess since it was handled during the procedure) - Doc told me it is not a sensitive area and honestly I feel no diff at all today. No DTD for 15 days and no sports - until my next appt with doc. I think DTD is allowed later on, but gently. Which is better than nothing! Congrats on the new car - must make such a difference to have space and the car must feel so much more organized. Yay for family vacation - it is a nice age since they can eat out with you guys I am so sorry about MIL I don't know what to say to make you feel better since I don't think there is anything. Just be sure o enjoy every moment she has. Sometimes these things are predicted and it does not come as fast as they think, so here is hoping she has a while to go and is not in pain. Talking baby names already????lol...sounds clucky!!!

Hannah, I don't know how you sleep with her in the bed - Eva does the same - on the occassions when she gets sick and we have her in bed she moves around so much that we sleep so badly. Unless she is really off we keep her in her bed or else we wake up half dead. But it must be nice still having her with you in bed. Nothing beats the morning snuggles Does she also nap in your bed? We always have trouble getting Eva back to sleeping well when we get back from vacation, but we try to insist because we find that she sleeps better in her own room - we wake her up too with our rolling or snoring or whatever. Maybe if she has more moirning feeds she will drop the night feeds? I know Eva stopped waking at night when she started really eating ok in the day. Now she sleeps through 730/8-730 whenever she is not sick or something like that. Try to follow her around and feed her while she plays - Eva hates any structured meal time now - she does not like to be in her chair unless we are all at the table together, so I try to play with her and give her banana and stuff like that sometimes, because I know that if she does not eat she either wakes uup at 6 to eat or during the night. But of course if it does not bother you who cares...This baby phase is over so fast ! Enjoy it while you have it!

Lani - OMG....what the hell was he thinking. Not only to cheat but to cheat with an engaged girl!??? What is going on with these people. Thank god you have your family to stay with and you're right to stay there as long as possible. Try to keep Jett with you as long as possible so this guy has time to cool off at least. Are you leaving him for sure or are you undecided? Congrats on the first tooth and what a special date Jett is a gorgeous boy with a gorgeous mum and I hope you get through this hard time ok. You don't deserve this and Dh is just selfish and wrong in every sense of the word. Is he acting sorry? Or does he not care?

Tilda, it is flying isn't it? I feel like the first trimester passed without my realizing it - but with the first we were just thinking of this baby that would arrive and I think the symptoms were stronger (for me at least) - and since this one is less crazy and tiring and stuff it is just like it is not there. I already have a belly but I forget about it. I still enjoy rubbing it and daydreaming at night though I can't wait to meet my little bub #2! Matilda sounds amazing - Eva communicates like that too (putting up both hands to say no more, o pointing at stuff or bringing me her shoes - Eva is a diva, she like necklaces and stuff and chooses her stuff for me to put on her in the morning!!! At least she has some of my genes since she looks so much like her papa!). It is good that she seems to be showing signs of being aware of her dirty nappy - I am waiting for that too to start full on potty training. It will make things easier when #2 arrives - it is sooner that we think....This summer (or winter for you) another one is coming! That is so soon! So best get her used to being a bit more independent now because later she will have a lot to adjust to with a new baby in the house It is so exciting though - I can't wait to see how Eva will be as a big sister.

I went out today to get Eva new toys - A tea set, kitchen, doll with potty and bottles (to get her used to the idea of putting her doll on the potty since she is already trying to feed her dolls all the time). She is up a level with her playing and prefers organizing things with me, coloring with markers and stirring food and tossing salad. She wants to sit ath the big table with us and I am going to remove her tray and put her up at the table from now on too.

I am finding her to be a very cautious girl. With starngers she does not approach and it takes her time to warm up to people she does not know well. She like books and examining games rather than being loud or banging (she likes that too, but less). She loves music and dancing too. The thing is as soon as there are other kids around she likes to stay at my feet, and if a child even swings a hand too close to her face (not hitting her) she bursts out crying. She is also VERY attached to us. Both of us. More than the other kids I see - she still cries every morning when we drop her off at daycare and gets upset when we leave her. I know every child is different, but what kind of personalities have you girls noticed developing with your babies??? Are there any things that worry you? I don't worry, I just feel like if she is like this it might be hard for her later when kids start bullying and saying things...although I have sen her defend herself when she gets annoyed...It is early to see all this but I am just curious as to how you girls see your babies interacting with other babies and with you and DH....

Ok, I'm going to lay down with a book for a bit before I go get Eva and the evening rush starts DH has been handling all the evening stuff to let me rest (he usually does anyway, since he only gets to see her for a bit in the morning and in the evening, but I would like to prepare dinner at least.
