Glad you had a good day in London, Wing! I get exhausted when I go down for the odd day. Will have to suck it up come September when I get back to my usual routine of London once a week, etc! Wonder if I can wear two with twins?!
Frying glad your parents are happy! I am glad we waited a while (only told them at the weekend and I'm now 12 weeks) so we had time to get our heads around it. It's a big thing! Difficult also to eat when you just don't feel like it. As long as you take your pregnancy supplement the babies should be fine. I lost a kilo at 2nd midwife appt and that's with twins and not vomiting once, just because (I think) I'm a bit off my food. Though it got better at about 8-9 weeks and I'm now eating a lot better (little and often!)
I reckon we definitely should have a stats thread. I'm crap at remembering who is where on this list. I think tired is the furthest along. I'm 12 weeks (yippee!) It's easier on the expecting in March 2013 list I'm on as we're all roughly at the same stage!
Guinea 3rd and final year is a great place to be! And what a deadline to work to! You can do it! OH bringing home flowers is definitely to be encouraged! DH was in a right mood with me the other day (unnecessarily, I thought, tho my hormones are bonkers at the mo so who knows) and he came home with one of those tiny indoor rose plants - yay!
What a pain about your DP having to take an entire day off Dysgu to go to a morning appt. I thought DH's situation was bad enough! FX for Saturday appts at your hospital!
Oh and Guinea you asked about DH: well, he's being great around the house. We have always split tasks to keep things simple: I make all the meals and his work-lunch and he washes up everything; I wash all the clothes and hang them out to dry and he puts them away (not always in the right place, but nevermind!) But sometimes I'm just so exhausted in the evening or thinking I'm not hungry so he's been doing more cooking. And he clean the kitchen and bathroom before my parents came down at the weekend, when normally we'd blitz the house together. And when I have unreasonable requests (like emptying the kitchen bin every other day because I can't stand the smell - my nostrils are on overdrive!!) he attends to it without making a fuss. So he's being great. BUT a big thing at the moment is that I want him to take more initiative with house and allotment projects. He's so laid back and I'm so not. He thinks about things for months before doing them and I'm always planning three things ahead. There are certain things I want us to get done (new kitchen, new bathroom ceiling, new front door, all the decorating we've not done since moving in, building a compost bin at the lottie etc) and they will get done if I do all the information-gathering, measurements, etc ? but I am (a) knackered with this twin pregnancy and (b) trying/failing to finish writing a book for the end of the month, working evenings and weekends in addition to the days, and I could just do with him stepping up. We've talked about it, I've got a bit hysterical about it, but nothing I say or do seems to have an impact. He's glacial about moving forwards with things. So, it seems, all that will have to wait till I can crack the whip (gawd, I sound like a right one, don't I?!) after the book's gone to press!
Anyone else have a similar/contrasting experience?
