    I'm with you for HHC at 2 Natty, am just sitting here watchin 3 in a bed and eating a bagel, yummy! Have been to sainbugs and the dentist this morning so haven't done v much at all around the house, so will get back into it at 2 :). Although taking advice from lovely flyladies and taking it a bit easier today, feel very very uncomfortable, really don't want this to carry on until baby pops out, have 9 whole weeks to go!

    I broke one of my nails right down to the pink on monday :( could have cried! My invader doesn't have hiccups but seems to be starfishing across my stomach and kicking/punching from under my ribs to my pubic bone, and sitting or laying gets very uncomfortable :(

    I've changed my HHC to start 2.30 as I am having a bit of trouble with my asthma so am waiting for the puffer to take effect. Then shall start at 2.30 :)
