Hi all,

Just taking a break as I'm a packing machine today. It's a bit like nesting - I was lying in bed last night and just had to get up and pack! lol Since then I haven't stopped and Earl's room is all but dismantled apart from his bed, the bathroom is cleared, all the DVD's and books are pretty much away, ornaments and pictures are down and packed, washing achine is on permanently and quite honestly, I'm shattered.

We have a plan for the next few days anyway, and we've figured out a way that will mean we wont have to leave Earl overnight and the Dog will be out of the way. He also wont have to go in his carrier. :happydance: It will mean that hubby will spend most of next week in a van but he's said he's happy with that - so looks like I'm on cleanng detail lol.

Earl is on good form. He's learnt how to give kisses. If you ask him for a kiss he turns his head towards you and waits for you to kiss him. So cute - although a bit wet at times as he sometimes does it with his mouth open and the drool goes everywhere! :dohh:

Right - time for some lunch for us both then get cracking again. Got to pack up all the games consoles and dismantle all of Earl's furniture - oh the glamour. Oh and also got to pack up the clothes we wont need before next Wednesday. Mine is half done - just got to do Hubby's! :wacko: Arghhhh Think I need to write a list! :nope:
 
I think the swing can also clip onto a bigger kids' swing set but I guess unless you have either a swing set or a tree, then it would be kinda useless. Colsy, we have a hammock in our backyard and I've BF'd in it before Emma's nap a couple times and then we've just had a snuggle. The backyard hammock is pretty flat though- I have another from Thailand that cocoons more but I haven't tried it with the baby (maybe when we go camping next weekend...). Emma likes the hammock but I'd never just put her on it alone- way too unstable :)

Aimee- I hope the move goes well! Earl sounds cute with the kisses :) Emma does this thing where she tried to eat my lips as a kiss- opens wide and then lunges, trting to get my whole mouth in hers :dohh: We need to work on perfecting her kiss, lol :)

Has anyone who suffered from SPD while pregnant started to have little flare-ups again? My pelvis has been killing me by the end of the day for a couple weeks now. I don't know if it's a BFing thing (reaching a point where my body is tired of being leached of minerals, etc.) or a big baby thing (Emma's probably somewhere between 24-25 lbs and is heavy to carry) :shrug: I wondered if AF was on her way back but it feels eactly like SPD and been going on and off for a couple weeks. Just wondering if anyone else has the same?
 
Kaites i had bad spd when pg, its not been too bad but i do have the odd day where i really do hurt and ache. When i was pg i ended up walking awkwardly to compensate for the pain and i damaged my knee. I went to see a consultant about it and he said the more sam gets mobile and i have to carry him less that it should get better in time.
 
I'm hoping it gets better once Emma is more mobile! atm, she's constantly getting herself into positions where I need to "redirect" her so there is a lot of lifting :wacko: Even when she's on my lap, she's always trying to stand up and climb me, stepping on my pelvis which is already sore. Hope your knee is feeling okay :hugs:
 
hehe thanks. Apparently DH just waves it in the air at me and I get pregnant. I originally thought I wasn't because I had a bit of spotting, thought it was my period, but did a test today and yup! This explains the out of the ordinary heartburn I've had this week.

Due 6th March, so just 4 weeks along.
 
Get you, Chaos! :happydance: Dare I ask the really rude question that everyone feels they're entitled to ask when you announce a pregnancy? And no worries at all if you tell me to pee off, none of my business :-)
 
Congratulations Chaos and Mr Chaos - and a little brother or sister for Autumn! :happydance:

We've got a while yet before we even start TTC - must say I don't think I'd cope being pregnant right now.

Kaites - I didn't get SPD but I had SI joint problems and they flare up pretty regularly. Plus I also got an injury to my knee in the birthing pool (It was numb for weeks after Earl was born) and that gets painful. My wrists, elbows, knees and ankles all ache to the core from carrying Earl around and my thyroid is still not right and I'm still constantly knackered! Who'd be a Mum, eh?! :wacko:
 
Congrats Chaos, i did wonder when you was saying about heartburn the other day and the fact you only had it when you was pg with Autumn :)

I think im the only bumpkin that wont be TTC again :cry:
 
Jo I wasnt planning to ttc, these things sometimes just happen. I certainly wont be planning any more.
 
Chaos, bless you! Congratulations!!!!!!!!!I just saw your BFP piccy on Facebook, lol. :happydance: I got all excited for you (and a bit jealous) and logged straight on here to say :hi: & :hugs: Very pleased for you.

Am I the ONLY one still not interested in sex, but wanting to TTC? lol.
IF/WHEN me & hubby ever get round to some bed time antics again (other than on the wedding night), I guess you could say we are TTC... But I guess it wont be happening anytime soon as he's away for the next week & I have zero sex drive, which is driving him crazy, poor bugger. I feel so bad for him; we've has sex twice in the last year & it doesnt bother me in the slightest, but he, being a caveman type thing, NEEDS it!!! :dohh:

Sooo, that's 3 bumpkins I believe so far who're already expecting their next bubba :) So cool! :)
