Reuben is asleep on his front on his playmat He is desperate to roll. He was having some tummy time and he is flipping his left leg and his left arm up and his body is rolling just under half way, and it seems it is only lack of strength in his muscles stopping him, he knows what to do. And it wore him out, a minute on his front, and instead of crying, he snuffled the mat and went to sleep. Woke a little dazed and pouty lipped, cuddled, fed, back on, did it for a good 15 mins, then back to sleep. I am half expecting him to wake up and do it! Not feeling to sure about him sleeping on his front, but he is right in front of me and i am checking his breathing every 5 seconds! He looks soooo comfortable in that position!
laugs sorry to hear you are still having a hard time, you are a strong and brave lady i have to say, for perservering so long despite the pain. Well done.
scarlotti i am sorry things are still difficult between you and DH. I hope they improve with Relate support. I wonder too if the newborn stage has a lot to do with it, as DH and I have argued significantly more this pregnancy, and this time with a newborn. To the point were i have wondered if i can cope with it like this much more. But, i am sure it is the time that is difficult for us, it has accentuated the flaws in our relationship, which were already there, but were tolerable, sometimes now they just don't feel so bearable, like no job, the what seems to be lack of support. But you yourself know your relationship with your DH better than anyone. At least you are both prepared to give it a good shot at sorting and not just walking away, that is hard to do in itself i think.
Ebay stuff - i sold my stuff individually, as I deliberately bought 'branded' stuff, like IO and Seraphine, and stuff that would resell well, like Next. But i think the bundles go well together too as long as they are all the same size. Tip is to 'pair' them or make them into outfits - trousers/top/cardi for example.
ursi empire line tops are great for slimming down the belly and showing off big boobs! I have several that fit under the bust and go straight down underneath (unlike maternity ones that sort of flare out), and they are flattering. Ruched tops and layers are also slimming, so for example i wear a black stringy top that covers my belly, then a t-shirt on top that sits just a little higher, then a cardi, it sort of detracts from it, and also helps with breastfeeding when i am out as i just lift the t-shirt and pull down the strap to feed, no showing of flesh.
contraception i have just had the coil removed. After lots of discomfort and continued light bleeding, i went to gp and told her to take a lot (different one to who put it on), it was on its way out having been put in wrong (or, not high enough), and it had got stuck and was digging in! No wonder i felt so sore down below! Now, the coil, a fantastic way to stop getting pregnant, but perhaps not the way they think . That is an experience i shall never go through again that is for sure. Talk about embarrassing, and painful [biush].
