good luck with the class Sparks wear something comfy. weren't you told to wear slippers? Hope it goes well.

Dream again thanks for the info. I am going to see what they say as I am not sure what we would do if we got a high result. it is a tough one.

EverythingIsTicketyBoo · 18/05/2013 13:31

Sorry I have been a bad brooker lately, I have lost the last 2 week's staring at K Blush

Sweetie sorry the mw didn't have any better advice for you, hopefully the referral to the multiple birth clinic will come soon for you. Nice to see Dream here too. Let me know when you're up to lunch at M'hall :)

Sparks I'm dying to know why you had to take slippers, and what you ended up wearing Wink Am I right in thinking you're just about to start your last week at work??
Keep hope you're having lovely holiday, I also hope there has been no more cm issues!!

K is still being dreamy, she is an actual person now, we have finally registered her, but she has caught a bit of a cold and decided today that any time spent not attached to mummy must be spent crying. I think I will be a sling expert by tonight!!!

boo how is lovely little K settling in? Is it still a massive love affair?
We should defo do a lunch meet up at M/hall, I would LOVE that. Do you want to PM me some dates that are good for you?

Sparks how did your class go? Were the slipper critical to the course? BTW I have always loved a nap, so at least I have an excuse now Wink

We have had a lovely day at Ripon races today, it was family fun day so very relaxed I drew the line at having my face painted DH won about £50 too so a very successful afternoon. It was a club trip but we decided to drive to we could leave early if we needed to but were having such a good time didn't need to.

Hope everyone has had a lovely weekend too, it has been a glorious day here today.

NESTING GrinGrin it sounds like everything is coming together for twinkle to arrive, how exciting!! I loved the getting ready bit :):)

Sweetie I will pm asap (lots on with teen boo the next few weeks), can't wait to meet :) naps are actually prescribed for the diffed and yes Sparks your neighbours should definitely be working around your nap schedule Wink your day out at the races sounded brilliant Sparks.

K is settling really well, and we are all completely in love and bessoted :):) I have just been sorting the clothes she has been bought, lots of pink Shock I'm so not used to all this pink in the house!

Woo hoo 4 days and counting Sparks :) enjoy your last week.

OP posts:
SweetieTime · 20/05/2013 08:05

Sparks counting down those last 4 working days with you. Nesting is good, not long now.

Boo I love baby girls in pink. My sil used to get reallyAngry when random strangers used to say things like "what a lovely lad" and "how old is he" about her DD. Bit of pink goes a long way to avoid confusion.

I think all the fun and games over the weekend have caught up with me. I feel like I have been run over by a couple of buses! I was supposed to be on a day off today as I thought I might be hungover when I booked it. But I forgot to tell anyone on Friday so I might see if I can just have the afternoon and go back to bed.

Sweetie hoping you are tucked up under your duvet and having a rest!

Sparks you're down to 3.5 days Grin have you got lovely relaxing plans for your leave?

I am finding looking at girls clothes has become a real guilty pleasure, I'm sure the novelty will wear off but I just can't resist Blush I have never really been a pink girly girl but I'm really enjoying it now Grin

OP posts:
SweetieTime · 20/05/2013 16:21

I am up and at 'em now!! I had about an hour of duvet rest and feel so much better for it.

Sparks I am not a gym bunny, I don't think I have EVER been to a gym Blush I do own some trainers though if that counts???

Boo I am not a girly girl either and wouldn't dream of wearing pink myself although I wore a pink wedding dress but would happily dress a DD in pink. I can imagine it is a pleasure, doesn't even have to be a guilty one, to look at all the lovely stuff that is out there.

The NHS nuchal screening woman rang me this afternoon as the midwife didn't know much about it for twins. She has put my mind at rest that all will be ok with my meds and the fact it is twins. She did say we should think about possible outcomes if one is high risk etc. I said we will cross that bridge when we have to. Like everything we have already been through we will deal with it a step at a time. She even gave me her mobile number in case I have any more questions. How nice is that?

And my pregnancy book has arrived from Amazon, I went for one Keep recommended before I knew it was twins. But I might take Dream up on her offer of borrowing the twin specific ones too.

sweetie, yes, can post the twin books. I think a normal one is good too though, it talks less about normal pg stuff so I'm glad I had a normal one I'd borrowed with dd. I found it an exhausting pregnancy. I had one near miss for admission for hyperemesis, vomited it all bar about 9 weeks and struggled as my dd was so little and needed carrying so much, inc up and down stairs. I'd have loved a chance to rest, you must make the most of it. It's really important I think. If your cardiac output is up 40% growing one baby, imagine two!! I am a runner, and cycle (pre twins anyway, no time now with a non sleeper :( ) usually pretty fit, & I got so breathless on stairs and hills by the end, as you will be pretty huge :)

sparks, squee for all the nesting!!

boo glad k is doing so well, I agree, enjoy the pink!! I don't like the whole concept of girls in one colour boys in another so I bought clothes I liked, pink, blue and other colours too for my dd if we needed them though we've had loads of hand me downs so not bought much at all. Bit of a shame really, but can't justify buying when we've stuff she can wear, even if its not to my taste particularly... I bought her a lovely blue snowsuit, so every Tom Dick and harry thought she was a boy, but I don't care, I just corrected them and never found it an issue. It really irritates me that DT1 has a very soft cerise pink blanket he loves, that was never dd's, a hand me down for my boys, and if he has it in the pushchair people say 'oh, a girl and a boy!' without looking at him, he's not very feminine looking Angry

SweetieTime · 21/05/2013 12:25

Sparks in my midwife pack there were loads of leaflets and guides to breastfeeding too. So I would imagine the pressure will be on here too. You just do what is right for you and twinks.

I still feel remarkably well, hardly pregnant at all but I am still only 8 week. Am not sure if or when serious sickness should kick in. I really hope I continue the way I am but had expected to be worse by now.

Got intense one to one dog training this evening. Our pup is so naughty she just ignores everything we say to her. It is now at a point we cannot let her off lead on walks as she doesn't come back and terrorises other dog walkers. My DM is already hinting we wont be able to cope with her when babies arrive Sad We have to give her every chance while we can.

cartoontrickster · 21/05/2013 15:02

sweetie Im sure you'll managed to have pup all trained in time ur starting now so there's plenty time. with morning sickness etc you'll be cursing it when it comes! but maybe you'll be one of the lucky ones who doesn't get it. I've know people who've had none and others that had it bad.
I'm still symptom free but what did I really expect at 5 and a half weeks. even my favorite the pregnancy spot as never arrived. not one single twinge in the womble or anything. slight lower back ache a couple of times but that's it, none of my usual 'symptoms'.
boo how are you and k?

DreamingOfAFullNightsSleep · 21/05/2013 22:04

sweetie maybe you'll escape the dreaded morning sickness? I was throwing up by 7.5 weeks with dd, bang on 5 weeks with the dts. 8-9 weeks I was on anti emetics in both pregnancies, also diarolyte with the boys, it was pretty awful with them. Fx you escape!! I know a couple of twin mums who had no ms. I hope the pup training goes well, good luck!

Nothing much to report preggo wise. Everything else hugely kicking off. why does life have to be such a soap opera at times?
