Dont be waking me up Stef in the early hours of Saturday morning.
Me thinks a couple of tins of Blue each will cure the problem

MG you will become fit again im sure of it. You cant rush it even though it must be very frustrating.It is a massive shift in your life. I think lots of men just do not realise what a woman goes thro during pregnancy and after the baby is born. I suppose Emma could give you good advice as she will have been thro it.
Remember the feeds well and I used to actively do most of the night feeds simply I suppose because I was awake if you like.
You must be exhausted.
One thing I used to do was take days off work and just take Josh out all day to give my wife some ME time.
I personally think thats what a woman misses , I may be wrong but ive talked to Mums and sometimes they say that if they could just get a few hours a week to sit, relax, take it all in, stop the merrygo round and chill for a little while it would be so much easier.

MG, If your running a little bit thats brilliant. A big positive. I have so much respect for Mums that fit time in for it all. From my point of view MG your achieving all you can and then some.
Dont be too hard on yourself
Keep us informed
Lots on here care

Aw thanks for the kind words Daz...and you are right in what you say! And yes, I have had lots of good words from Emmi to help me make sense of it all! (Thanks Em! ) I guess it is harder when my husband is away for 2 weeks at a time and I don't get a break....but hey...XOTF is not too far away...a wee break for me and I might even get a full nights sleep!
(just need to borrow a decent pair of running legs!!! Saying that, I looked at my running log and have done 210 miles since June...so I might not be too bad by December!) xxx

210 blimey....you've probably done more than me

I very much doubt that...and most of mine have been done on the treadmill!
(Still better than none at all! )

MG I have said it before but i really think you are amazing! It must be really tough that your hubby is away so much - and managing all that running on a treadmill!

Daz is right, you need a little bit of ME time I think

I was taken out to lunch, fed a large glass of red and lamb cleftico so now I'm really in trouble.

Typical to get a lunch out of the blue today of all days!

Have just survived meeting number two - will have to read the whole thread later!!!

Another large glass of red, a hot bath, a fluffy robe, a mug of Ovaltine and you should have a sound night's sleep tonight!
