hi all,
wuzzle: I swear by the cindy crawford next challenge workout. it's about 10 years old, but it is unsurprisingly un-cheesy and gives you a complete workout and you really feel better after doing it!
Well I went back to work on Monday, so it's day four tomorrow. Very annoyingly DH had to go to Turkmenistan on Monday morning for 2 bloody weeks, which is not great timing! Keep locking myself in my office to express the milk, and someone or other always wants to come in at just that moment! Also getting quite blithe about rinsing out the breast pump in front of male colleagues (one just had a baby so he doesn't mind ).
re the expressing, taffy.,, unfortunately I think the solution is just to eat and rest as much as possible.. I'm having to get the two feeds out every day and not easy, but I've found it helps to change the position on the breast, and also to basically eat loads of protein..
The nanny is very nice and Darius seems fond of her, and she cooks big pans of borscht which is great cos I'm too knackered to cook.. But feel so guilty and awful about leaving him, and might ask for part time but not sure yet.
Got a doctor to come round to give Darius his last set of jabs which we brought over from Europe in a cold container. It was a bit of a classic Kazakhstan scenario, she didn't have anything to prepare his skin and asked if we had some vodka! and used that with a cotton wool bud! The vodka was in the freezer so I actually think it did numb his poor little leg so he didn't feel it as much.. anyway thank God that's over.
anyway that's the drama over here in Central Asia. I hear you've been getting some of our weather
