Thanks for the welcome guys!

Sounds like we are getting back into the swing of things. I went out today and managed to get in and out of the car etc much quicker than last time, but from tomorrow I won't have my amazing sis to help!! I am still feeling very sore from the birth and am not supposed to be walking too much or anything, plus I am supposed to lie down frequently but am not! By the end of the day I am pretty sore though. Sometimes I think maybe a caesar would have been better reading some of your posts! I hope everything recovers ok, I get a little worried about 'down there' ever being back to normal, the way the birth went. I recovered much much better last time.

I am back down to my pre-preg weight thanks to BFing, but I never lost all the weight after DD so would like to lose another three kgs when I am able to exercise again. My tummy is pretty weak and squishy though!

feeb - I hope the infection clears up soon, it sounds awful. Thanks for the advice re lifting and having a toddler. I think I will start changing DD on the floor too - I hadn't thought of that! Then I will just have to lift her in and out of the car, high chair and cot.

eluned - good choice of name for your DS!

hummingbird - I hope the boobs settle down soon! Mine aren't as bad as they were, but I don't know what I would do without nursing pads!

lucylu - what a walk! We used to go for long walks all the time, but there is no way I would be able to do that now. Hopefully it won't take too long for us to get back in shape again.

I went and bought some Brauers colic relief today so here's hoping it works. Last night was terrible because DS had so much gas, I got hardly any sleep at all. Fingers crossed for tonight!
