Yes re stretch marks, anyone have a sort of macabre will to show them off to people? I occasionally get the urge but so far have restrained myself! 
dreaming walk and jig was all I ever used to do with DS but for some reason I've never done it with the twins. I was saying to a friend the other day that it was probably just as well or I'd never sit down! (Feel sorry for you.. lol at the jigging while mn-ing being unacceptable though, I remember it well - they seem to sense any tiny change in your movements don't they?!) Also I sympathise with the change in temperament, my DT2 was way more settled than DT1 and since his 1st jabs (I'm hoping it was just coincidence) he has been much more unsettled, as well as frequently waking up crying terribly after appearing supremely peaceful moments before.
Speaking of jabs, my twins are currently enjoying the lovely post-2nd-jab effects of very broken sleep. Just when you think you're getting somewhere...!! Very irritating. I just try and remember it could be worse but even so, it does get you down at 3am :(
I've just been to the docs coz I keep getting stomach aches and bits of bleeding here and there. I kept thinking it was prob coz of all the physial effort of running after 3 tinies plus breastfeeding, but after this long I thought I'd better make an appointment! Anyway I've got to go for an ultrasound. I'm hoping it's nothing but at the same time would like to stop feeling terrible!
Speaking of feeling terrible, my DH has gone off on a weekend away and I am all aloooone. Not looking forward to it :( Especially since the MiL is also away (DS is normally at hers Fri daytimes and we all go for lunch on Sundays, both of which make my life HUGELY easier!), plus my parents are busy too, so not much in the way of help! I'm just trying not to think about it too much and hopefully I'll survive the torture! 
Yes beyoglu, entertaining babies can be tedious. I maintain that that element is worse with one because as they get older they've still only got you to play with...it's nice when they learn to amuse themselves! Our routine (ish) is wake, feed, babygym for 10-30 mins depending on which baby it is (Jacob finds it very tiring), then in their bouncy chairs to either sit and look around, or sleep. Obviously if I have a moment I will cuddle them but (sad to say) they are in their chairs a LOT! I find that TV is now quite good at entertaining them (they're 3 months old) at least for a short time, and they don't get as tired as they do with the baby gym. We go to a mums group weds, a toddler group on thurs and go out for a walk every other morning which is mostly to keep DS happy (shop/park/etc) but the twins seem to like as well. By which I mean they sleep.
Ooh I actually had a proper conversation with the twin mum that sometimes comes to our toddler group (her girls are terribly clingy so she's usually off playing with them) and for the first time I can really appreciate the importance of twin connections! 
That sounds pretty chaotic tiggers. And nice to meet another type 1 with twins! I'm pining for the amazing sugar levels I had the the 2nd half of my pregnancy, they've gone back to being pretty hopeless now... (breastfeeding doesn't help) and it's the only thing I'm pining for from pregnancy days, I can tell you!
What on earth is the 'small window of opportunity', minesapintofwine?? That sounds like if you don't start weaning at the exact right moment then they never learn to eat solids.. ever... lol.
I've only met one HV but from the sound of it they all seem to be on their own planet! I would also wean them together, unless one is dying for it and the other really hates it. Weaning is not difficult IME of one ! Hope you've made up with your DH too.
claireinmodena our DHs sound rather similar in arguing terms... in fact most of my words of frustration directed at the back of his head him are because I feel ignored in the first place! Thankfully having 3 kids in the house is doing him the world of good because he just HAS to do stuff, there isn't the option and therefore has to leave his computer for 5 mins... anyone else have this problem?!
DS is still up (8:35pm), refusing to go to bed and for once I'm not going to fight it, because he's not been falling asleep til after 9pm anyway lately so he's actually quieter being down here! (although we do have later evenings and mornings coz of DH's work hours.) Going to have another attempt in a min, although DT2 is doing his best to wake up again... Definitely some sort of regression of sleep with DS, but really I think the waking world is just too exciting now, and he knows he'd much rather be playing with his trains or reading bob the builder...
Gosh cvb just looked at your pics, you look really familiar... Oh and your little 'uns are adorable
I might join the healthy eating club too - much easier in warmer weather though, when I'm much more inclined to eat salads (actually the only food I can prepare myself and still feel like eating once its made, which helps!). I've been trying badly this week and although I've had a lot of choc ices, I've also had very little actual chocolate/biscuits. Now just need to have more fruit and veg... that said, i've just remembered the cakes we had...
And thanks bigboobs. I'm not feeling too bad ta, just bearing up and trying to get on with it all!
Gosh, we're all freaks with our weird brown skin aren't we?! (Glad I'm not the only one
)
I see that as usual, writing a reply over 5 or so hours means it's ridiculously long - sorry about that everyone!!
(On a plus side DS is now in bed and asleep I hope )
