Wow, accessorize, that's amazing. And such good sized babies. I am (as always) in awe. Can't wait to hear the details on the birth...and see pics...and hear names...
Thanks so much lennied for keeping us posted. We were hoping/ wondering...
mmmmmm...mel, your meals for tomorrow sound yummy. If you can't manage it all, maybe replace the sausage rolls with some nuts, they are not so filling, but good on protein and 'good oils'. Yeah, there was a lot of dairy on the list! Usually I am intolerant, but pregnancy I am ok, so make the most of it! Is yoghurt ok? I can do yog better than cheese/ milk when I am not pg. McDonalds is not a 'must' but apparently a quick and (according to the book) acceptable way to get a protein and fat fix!
Tallulah, I did not find out weight of babies till 30 week scan and only because I asked. In fact, I would not know how they were lying unless I ask, although I do know now where it comes on the scan 'printout' in your notes. Have a look at it, most of the measurements are not very understandable, but it will give you an idea of what centile the babies are on, and also how they are presenting. Also, in terms of food, it's just because I was first told I was having triplets so my friend bought me a book about multiple births and I was so worried that I would lose a baby, I was really trying to eat the recommended stuff (aiming for it anyway), then when they discovered it was 'just' 2 babies, I already had established some feeding patterns. This book is by Barbara Luke. It is referred to as well by Elizabeth Noble in her book. Basically this woman is a dietician (an academic) and her theory is that the right diet will give better weight babies and keep them in for longer (sometimes they come early because they are not getting nutritional needs met). It's quite interesting anyway.
