we've smacked that rat now brooking for healthy pregnancys and sneeze births!

hope everyone finds me.

Sweetie book a pedi on DH's credit card and please be reassured that I had crippling fear just before my 20 week scan. To me it felt worse because I had already seen the baby at the 12 week scan and bonded and just wanted to much for it to all be ok. As we know it was fine and you babies will be too! With the movements I think it's normal for a first pregnancy not to feel regular movements before 21 weeks, a lot of it depends on where they're lying, where the placenta(s) are and whether they're active when you're resting and able to feel it or if they're going for it when you're busy and don't notice. Such a lot to think about. Also love the lists with 'Sweetie is growing twins' at the top

Keep good luck with the move, don't lift a thing!! Maybe your lists should have 'Kip on board' at the top since you don't fancy the t shirt (which I have also managed to avoid like the plague too) :)

Trix so sad for the other lady, but it will not happen to any of you here, we will not stand for it!!!

Right, off to tidy, we're having teen boo's grandma (my x MIL who is a very very lovely lady) stay for a few days.

That's lovely Boo!

Solars he is indeed. He is apparently coming to every appointment I have! Bless him.

It's near/in Birmingham, trix. Sept 22. Where are you?

I'm Buckinghamshire, Aylesbury.

Not too far......

I'm coming from Essex Trix!

the train is 2hrs 40ish min! hmmm not sure bout that date anyway. we might be having my mums birthday meal that day.

It is indeed Trix. But I'm sure we can arrange a London one at some point too!

I knew it was a long journey but didn't think it was that long.
did I mention I'm a bit scared of trains and have never been on one by myself.

Why are you scared of trains Trix?

Maybe you're coming?? that's the most amazeballs news

because I'm a great big wimp! I hate the gap between train and platform. I always think the train will leave before I've managed to get on. plus I don't trust my self to know to get on the right ones. I don't know why really. me and mum got on the wrong one once ages ago but didnt end up too far out of the way so its not as if I've had a bad experience.

Of course I am Boo

I'm just so used to trains Trix. I have to commute to London everyday!

Well, just back from by GP booking in appt. all good, though I do have a viral infection and have been told to stay at home till I'm well. Been referred for my 12 week scan and have filled out the paperwork for my exemption card!

OMG OMG OMG OMG Maybe is coming

Maybe it is a similar length train journey for me too. I have a friend who lives in Birmingham and I am sure it only takes 2 hours to drive. I am not sure Dh will let me drive on my own so might be train for me too. I am not sure if to just book it as all the early booking cheap tickets are nearly gone.

Well the twins won't be going naked. I just bought 4 girls sleep suits in tiny baby size for £5 and 10 boys vest things for £6 all in the sale at matalan. I realise I might have to return things if Monday confirms both same sex. I shall wait to see. Also my Mum has finished knitting 2 tiny cardigans too. So far from naked already

That's so exciting Sweetie!!! Woohoo!!

Boo I'm like the coca cola truck

I couldn't have my Dp cutting my toe nails, I can just about stomach me doing them let alone anyone else.

I wish I could go to the meet up :( but one it's way too far, although it would probably be quicker for me to go than you trix however I can't afford it.

Is it crazy that I am going to look at a double pram tomorrow? It's an icandy pear so I plan on using it as a single with ds then as a double when number two arrives. My mum thinks I'm crazy but at the price it's going it would be crazy not to buy it.

sweetie how exciting, your scan is Monday? Can't wait to hear what gender your twins are.

Has anyone anything nice planned this weekend?

Oh Maybe hope that infection clears up soon, but yay on your appointment sounds like you're on track. I don't know why but the exemption card really excited me, I've never got anything for free! can't imagine what I'd be like when I get my free bus pass and I've not got long to wait for that

Sweetie your baby clothes sound so cute, especially those little cardigans. I can't wait either to find out what you're having on Monday!

A bargain is hard to resist Penguin I daren't look at things yet but I am so tempted to.

Trix I'm not a million miles from you I think, I'm in Hertfordshire. Hopefully you can make the London meet up if someone organises one!

By the way I want to see lots of pics of the Brum meet up on the FB page!

I have been up since 5.30am this morning and am now feeling very tired [yawn]

Why up so early Solars?! It excited me too. Got to love a freebie . I did have an embarrassing moment when she asked what meds I was on, and I went completely blank. She said 'don't worry, it's completely normal to forget everything'

Love iCandy Pen so don't think it's weird at all

I have no idea Maybe got up to go to the toilet and couldn't get back to sleep so got up and made aloo paratha for breakfast Symptom wise how are you doing?

Ive been getting up at least twice every night to go to the loo! So annoying isn't it?! But your breakfast sounds immense!

I feel sck most of the day and am finding it very hard to figure out what I want to eat. And I am crippled by tiredness. I fell asleep at work 4 times on Thursday, one of them being in the toilet . But I think it's made worse by the fact I feel ill anyway. How are you doing?

Just very worried about Tuesday now!

I'm doing ok, I've been very lucky with the no morning sickness but I still have the tiredness but not as bad as during the first few weeks after BFP, so it will get better. About the sickness they do say to try and have lots of snacks, but you probably know this, I'm not sure what else to suggest, at least it's a good sign and it won't last! You will be fine on Tuesday, I'm brooking no argument about that!

Thanks lovely Solars. I think the fact I'm so tired is just making the sickness worse. Pink grapefruit squash is my friend.

Maybe I think been tired actually makes you feel sick even when not diffed. I found sour juice a real help but also plain water. Normally I am not a water drinker but I was so thirsty all the time for the first few months. Hope you feel better tomorrow.

Well I have enjoyed new born snuggles today. I can not believe I will have one of my own soon. Even DH had a hold and for quite a while too, I was very proud of him. The baby belonged to the wife of DHs mate. I have met her a few times before but don't know her very well. She was giving me loads of tips today, what to do feeding routine etc and where to buy things cheaply such as nappies. I might have to write them all down before I forget. I am sure I will be able to ask her again nearer the time if needed. They all looked bloody knackered though, even though the baby only wakes once a night for feeding. She said she got told off by the HV as she wasn't waking the baby for the middle of night feed and she stopped gaining weight so they have to strictly wake her. It was nice to see them and get some real life tips and advice.

Um, Sweetie I think you meant 2! It's lovely when you have someone in RL to speak to about the practical stuff! I'm always just a text or pm away too, if it helps xx

Maybe I think someone also mentioned carbs helped with the nausea. I found sipping drinks and small snacks helped.
