Hi Girls!

Rose - Slings are the greatest if your bub likes them. It will change your world I just walked the kids to the local shops for a loaf of bread, with Ryan in the sling. He slept the whole way. With the cookies, I've gone back to eating porridge again and noticed that I've become engorged again. Thanks for the link, because I checked the thread and it seems that oats are one of the active ingredients in the lactation cookies. Hope the blocked duct clears up soon, apart from that you sound like things are going really well

Brussels - Thanks for the tips on the exercises. I used the Hospital Physios and their exercise classes with Craig, but didn't this time and couldn't remember what I was allowed to do. I've been staying away from sit ups and the plank. From memory the physio had me doing something like pelvic tilts until the two halves of my abs closed up again. You have some great goals! You've got me thinking...

Carmey - It doesn't sound like you've lost too much fitness. Hope you survive the whole 10km tomorrow night. Well done again Jack! I'm not managing to keep up with any TV, so I missed both of those

Alison - Walking to/from and around the shopping centre is a great way to start exercising again, especially after a c-section. Some things I've read have said that you shouldn't do any heavy exercise such as running until 6 months after having a baby. I guess it really depends on how fit you were before you fell pregnant. Us older girls do seem to have our work cut out for us. I've got only 1kg to go to reach my pre-pregnancy weight, but in the mirror I look like a balloon that's been sitting behind the couch for 6 months! That's great about Amelia's sleeping. Craig dropped a feed around this age and started to sleep longer at night too, so you're right it's probably here to stay.

AFM - The Wii Fit is telling me that I should aim for a BMI of 22. That means I have to lose another 11kgs after getting back to my pre-pregnancy weight (so 12kg all up). I'm not sure about this as a goal, so maybe I'll do a race like Carmey and Brussels?

OK, time to feed Ryan.
