Carmey, wanting junk is normal - it's hormones and the need for extra calories...like having our periods constantly - It will die down when you stop bf...I am convinced the body does it to stock up on calories...I have also been craving sweets and usually HATE anything sweet. Now, I need to have a cookie or something once a day - but am replacing that with bananas, which I usually don't eat either...whatever, it is part of bf. I am sure I'll lose a ton of weight once I stop bf. A few more months to go. I am not really feeling like I am near my pre preg fitness level. I used to be able to intensely circuit train for an hour ana half at high speed...and at a pretty high level, but now, after one hour, I feel all old and broken. It is getting better with every session, I see it mostly in the recovery time, but the actual training still makes me suffer...also, I noticed my tummy looks huge at the end of the day - it is the lax muscles, so at the end of a day of food and all that, it is just blah.

Alison, that really sucks about the construction. The ils really chose a crappy time to do that! I would be ****ed too but at least later you'll have a babysitter next door! I have that set up and it is SOOOOOOOO practical

Kanda, the hair thing is awful; I have such long hair, and I keep finding it tangled in Evas fingers and after a shower in the drain it is just scary! That is why I keep my hair tied up all the time...I don't want Eva to start coughing up hairballs!

Rose, you sound like you have hair like me Your new pics of Liam are gorgeous...He is getting more and more handsome by the day! Enjoy catching up on sleep.

Tilda, is that her first cold? Tell me how that goes, I fear the first illness...I am sure she'll be fine though and I hope you have no issues flying! For the pic, the ones on FB are not very high quality, so you are def better off asking Rose to send you the original in good quality or downloading it via flickr...Alison, be careful not to print out the FB version, as it will not be high def.

Beany, Isn't it funny, how we just think of each other as Rose, Beany etc....Alison, did the right thing by using her first name We won't mess her name up at least! And I also catch myself writing DH sometimes when I talk about DH in emails to people who have no idea what that means! lol

AFM - 930-730!!!! Eva slept through! I got one cry again at around 3 but it was literally one little whine and back to sleep...I actually woke up before Eva this morning!!! I went in to check on her because I did not get what was going on!!!! Then she had her nasty syrup and a massive feed and a spew right on my shoulder then while I went to clean up she had another little spew on DHs just ironed shirt, so he had to change, but she was in a great mood

I can get used to this! Today I am off to lunch with two mums and bubs from my prenatal class...the little Alexander who is in some pics with Eva, and Tessa a little Dutch/ American girl who is much younger than Eva... It will be nice to go out and catch up!

I feel very human today since I got a shower in first thing in the morn and am dressed and ready to go! My shoulders and arms are killing me from training yesterday but I like the pain - reminds me that i am working out.

What a diff a long sleep makes!
