Hey there Ivvy!

I'm mass chatting in several threads now XD I'm supposed to be doing work >.<"

lol I know what you mean... I am taking a break from cleaning. :)

Haha. So we're both on our breaks? ^^ I'm working and posting though it seems like more posting is being done than work XD

lol Yeah... I should be sweeping up and doing laundry.. but I ran out of energy I got the kitchen clean and the batroom cleaned up... we had the pipes worked on so it was a disaster.. after that I was just not in the mood to do anymore. >.<

Aiks. Piping going wrong is terrible because it would take awhile to get it fixed and may create a mess >.<" Well, revitalize yourself then with a good dose of Menewsha to forget your troubles for now? I'm having a big dose of Menewsha now it seems because my work has only moved by 5 words since the last time I touched it XD

lol Yeah the bath was taking like 4-6 hours to drain! I put in a work order for it about three weeks ago.. so Showers were only lasting 5 minuets or less before I had to get out because it wouldn't drain and any longer would have overflowed it! I couldn't wash my hair... it was driving me nuts. >.< And Mene is a good stress releiver!

Maybe you can take a bath in another toilet? O.o Do you only have one bathroom in your house currently? Well, in my case, my shower always turns cold every other second because the gas pipe won't connect well to the gas tank so I have to keep turning it on and off or just take my shower in the other bathroom at the back of my house. I can't take cold showers... They freeze me up ^^"

Nope only one bath here. But he said it should be working now and it is draining... but I have to bleach the tub.. he used an acid stuff to clean the pipes out so I need to wash and rewash it to make sure it is safe to use. >.< Lots of icky work ahead for me in that department.. it looks clean but I wanna be sure.. chemical burns are no good.

Bleach the tub? O.o Maybe you should just do that and not take bathtub baths for awhile, just showers? ^^ Showers are faster and will save you time. This is of course coming from a person who has no tub at home XD I am shower-biased! So i haven't been faced with such a problem before... Though it would be horrible to get chemical burns. I don't think I have faced that either. It just sounds like a rather painful experience...

Yeah the bath here has a shower in the tub. And I have the little ones who have to take baths so I am going to make very sure that it is clean and safe for them . Chemical burns are bad its like a burn only with more pealing and it takes a lot longer for them to heal >.<

Oh yes, the children! That would be really dangerous if they had to take baths in contaminated water. Plus it could be worse if they accidentally drank the water...

When I was young, we had a bath tub in the old house and I remember being so happy even to play with random things like bottles in there. It was just fun seeing things float in the tub ^^" Nowadays mist houses barely come with a bathtub. Its not really an 'in-thing' I guess for Asian households.

There are some anti-bacterial sanitizing agents that don't leave fumes - I also think that bleach rinses out pretty easily, as long as your drains are working properly. I have stinky issues with a filter in the plumbing in the pipes for one of my bathrooms, and bleach has been my friend.

Yeah... the boys need their baths..lol My oldest took his first shower a while ago... he still loves baths though because he can play with stuff in it. Hummm no bath... I loved taing baths when I was pregnant it made my back feel better.

@ Swift... yeah the guy had to use an acid thing to clear the pipes... so the bleach is to soak the tub and remove the acid he used just to make sure it is gone.. then I will use the scrubby bubble stuff to rinse it so it should be okay, but it still sucks having to clean the tub >.< lol

Haha... Its so cute imagining little boys running around with toys in a bath and the mom screaming for them not to splash and stuff. It seems somewhat like it came right out of a family movie ^^" And I don't understand what a 'taing bath' is ^^" can you explain?

Hello there Elmira! :)

Umm well when I was pregnant I used these salts that smelled nice and reduced swelling in my water it was nice and took away a lot of the pain I had in my back and legs. It was relaxing for me. My hubby and son started calling them my taing baths.. because it was like a treat for me at the end of the day.. >.< Sorry I forget not everyone knows my toddler slang..lol

Ahh, its something like your personal relaxation spa treatment kind of bath? O.o It sounds interesting and really soothing! I know that um, getting pregnant, some people get really swelled up and have lots of water retention. I remember a lot of my cousins not looking the same when they were pregnant... But I didn't know they hurt even your back and legs.... That must have been quite tough to deal with >.<"

Yeah it was like a mini spa at home for me. :P The swelling is what causes the pain more or if the baby shifts into your back.. my leg would spazzam because my son Aidan would move and it would put pressure on a nerve that ran through my leg... it was like trolly horse cramp only more painfull. >.< So the baths were the only thing that made the go away.

Oh my goodness! O.O that was really something I never expected because I didn't know that the baby inside would actually hurt your nerves and all... It sounds painful >.<" I definitely want to have children next time but I really wonder about the pain ^^" I hope to gain some relief like you from a bath :)

I has chicky on muh head

Well its not damage to the nerves its just pressure.. you could get the same thing from gaining too much wieght. In my case it was a big baby who liked to roll around and sllep funny in there..lol And baths, leg rubs, and keeping your legs up like you do when you have a sprain helped as well, plus if you stay healthy when you are pregnant like taking short walks and stuff it helps a lot. :)

@ Beautiful...lol yes you do!

Ivvy - pregnancy swelling is not fun. Hurts like crazy. I'm glad my pregnancy with Otto didn't have any swelling until the last 2 months.

Pa-Pancake!! How are you??

O.o; ... Dae wants gummy bears now. ;_;

-shares dem-
YUMMMYYY

Omg, lol, discussing pregnancies, I see. I was fine throughout my whole pregnancy with my daughter, up until just before I had her and I got the flu. At that point I could not sleep in a bed, had to sleep on the couch on my side with my back to the couch because of the lower back pain I was getting was so severe. That was literally only days before I had her. She was born two days before her due date.
