    Sami can i please borrow your mum to do my kids washing :D
    i have got a very fetching patrick from spongebob t-shirt on and everyone has laughed at me today for wearing it:D
    What's for you won't go past you
  • Thanks for all your congrats - I'm looking forward to having a little un again, but not the sleepless nights and having to cope with 2 under 2. Still people cope with a lot worse, I'm sure it'll be fine.
    Will keep an eye out for a P and T sport though - other than the price I couldn't see anything obvious. I need to go and have a play I think...

    Congratulations DK! Can't help with double buggies, my plan if I manage to conceive another one is to have one in the buggy and one in the sling till the one in the sling gets too heavy and then add a buggy board to the buggy.

    And now I am off to make rosemary, pine nut and bacon bread. By which I mean "put all the ingredients in the breadmaker, turn it on and pretend I'm a chef".

    Molly is asleep, I still feel like a$$ and am hoping to get a bath this afternoon as well. But OH just made a big list of the things he does around the house and I'm feeling guilty for not doing enough.

    Er, what's his point, SS? :( (the list, I mean)

    I'm wearing my AIW tshirt today, feel really "dressed down" after yesterday. OH says the tshirt makes me look like a student... I don't like I ever "looked like a student" even when I was one! :o

    So make a list of what you do around the house and with Molly and shove it in his face.

    mel- no hottubs/jacuzzis/saunas for pg ladies as it raises the body temperature/blood pressure.
    pity as i think sometimes when you're pg it would be lovely and relaxing

    Mel - when elle was pg we scoured the t'interweb looking for an answer to the hottub/jacuzzi thing and couldn't find anything that said it was definitely unsafe. more that it was thought to be but no conclusive evidence. Some thought it could make mum2b get too hot/feint fwiw I'd still go in there , just don't stay in for a long time and make sure OH is with you in case you get light headed :)

    Mel, you should avoid hottubs if they are hot (but I had hot baths with all 3, the worst that happened was I felt a bit sick afterwards), the jacuzzi thing is stupid if you ask me, the danger is bubbles getting up your foof or the tub and pipes not being clean. I planned on just washing it out, filling it and running it for a while then using it anyway. Ha! In your face 'they'!

    Thanks guys...sorry ran off as dh had gone to pick up our old mobile off his mum, so we could sort out a whole mess up with the contract cancellation! On the way the car broke down, so I had to go collect him, garage is phoned and the guy is going to arrange collecting the car tomorrow, hopefully. Thankfully it is under warranty still, so should be fixed for free:)

    Right hottubs......All I can find is definitely not to use them in first tri, but shouldn't really use them all way through. Maybe if temp is lowered may be ok...but kinda defeats the objuct of a HOTtub:p Not sure what to do, may just turn temp down a teeny bit and just not spend too long in it;)
    Unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot,
    Nothing is going to get better. It's not.

    Should ask him if he has a thing for students and does he want to take you a run about in his car to show off down the beech (or your local suped-up-corsa show off point) and if he says yes tell him he's a perv :D:rotfl:

    Mel, I'd make up some excuse in my head as to why the benefits outweighs the risks, for example 'my back hurts, it will help my back, so it's good for me!' and jump in. Well more fall in, don't think I could have jumped when pregnant, I fell into the bath mostly and then got stuck.
