Tilda, we seriously have the same baby! Eva has been really unsettled the past two days too...Just waking up every time I put her down...I know it is really "bad" but have you tried putting her to sleep on her belly? Eva totally passes out that way. And have you gotten her a dummy yet? If not, this might be a good time. It really helps them settle. I know how you feel but don't. I am physically exhausted and feel like crap, and ugly and fat and in pain and tired - you name it. You are a wonderful mother or else you would not be on here and always looking for solutions and always doing exactly what she needs, therefor feeling tired (which is normal since you are a slave to the baby, meaning a wonderful mother!) - don't beat yoruself up for all this stuff - some days are better than others and I get you. I have days (like today for that matter) where I just feel like falling apart. I can't even get to bed since I am so tired...it will poass and will get better and soon she will be calmer. You're almost at three months, Just wait a bit...See if DH can take her for two hours while you go have a hot bath and quiet time. You'd be amazed at how wonderful you will feel after a small break.
Alison, some people are just annoying. I get you. Those bragger types are always annoying and if they are stupid to boot, you just don't get how they get so lucky!
Beany, great to hear from you! Enjoy your mum! It is so great to have family around and yay for Micahel being such a wonderful boy...What a nice scheduleI love mornings, Eva talks and coos and giggle for a good half hour during her morning change, and washup...They are getting so much more beautiful every day, aren't they? Eva was doing really well for about a week and has been gassy and crying the past two days. i hope it passes...I need the rest! I don't get excited for any changes since I am not sure how long they will stay
I need to consider the 9:30 bedtime...it might help me feel better but I can't seem to get to bved once she's down since I want to get things done...but I am wearing myself a bit thin...and not getting thinner...lol
Thank you for all your support! I'm feeling much better today. My back is still touchy but its not the disaster I was worried it was going to be. Its just when you've had bad injuries before the threat of a reinjury really gets you panicky. DH was a complete godsend this morning and tokk Matilda so I could sleep in for a couple of hours, Matilda was hysterical again tonight due to lack of sleep. Its so hard isn't it when you know they need to sleep but they just fight it! We tried a dummy a week or so ago and it settled her to begin with but within about 5 minutes it had dropped out of her mouth and we went back to square one. So we thought it might just create another issue. Anyway, take care of yourself. You're sounding so tired too. Being Sunday morning over there, I'm hoping your DH was able to give you a sleep in too. 
I really hope it gets better for you. I have no back issues and my neck and shoulders are painful from lugging around these giant boobs and BFing. That's really great that your DH was able to give you a break. I haven't had a chance to post these last couple of days, but my suggestion was to get out with the pram and take her for a walk. That used to help me with Craig when he was crying and even if he didn't stop then I felt better.
The weight will melt off, you're certainly putting in the hard yards with your personal trainer and the elliptical trainer.
