The old thread isn't accepting new messages!
Too much waffling, you know who you are

I jsut wanted to psot to say good luck hm, hope you can hold out, but it really sounds like things are moving. Jsut think you could be cuddled upw ith your baby by tomorrow morning!

Glad to hear dt2 is better, fg.

Kelly, sounds lovely for all, a win/win. I separate my DTs some days (one might go to my mum's) but I can't do the overnight thing. It makes a huge difference in this house and its nice for everyone.

Well they postponed induction till next weds (although did try to make me feel guilty for messing the system around) but said I'll have to go to the hospital daily from Fri to be monitored. I think they hoped that would put me off postponing.
As big as I am now, I'm not finding it as difficult to get around as I thought I'd be when induction was booked and since twins seem happy in there I don't see the point in trying to rush them out.

Kelly sounds like you'll all benefit from a little break and the others will get a bit more mummy time.

I'm so envious of all these mums who get to fuill term and can still walk You are doing really well pixiemom, glad you got the postponement sorted.

Kelly I'm 37.4wks but I wouldn't call it walking. More of a slow lumbering waddle. Like the penguins on the Nigel Marvin prog last night. Worst part is trying to get up from bed/chair/sofa etc, usually takes me a few attempts.
I'm sure I keep being followed in shops and that people are convinced I've stuffed something under my coat.

Hey ladies - just catching up on all the messages. FG, hope you are feeling ok after the funeral, it brought a tear to my eye after reading about the little boy having to be taken out (not that its hard to set me off at the mo). I had to smile though when you said that dirty nappies go straight outside. DH and I throw ours out of the window into the garden (we like to lower the tone of our nice neighbourhood), you should see my back garden, my Mum gets really wound up by it!

Pixi - sounds like your DTs are quite happy where they are! You should keep them in for as long as you think is right.

Well I took DD to the docs today as she has caught the DTs cough. She has a horrible raspy cough. I mentioned to the doc that I was a bit low but she didnt really pick up on it, I have started taking St Johns Wort but I dont know how effective it will be!! Does anyone have any advice?

HM, it was incredibly sad to be at the funeral. Listening to a child in distress who cannot be comforted is a terrible thing. Some may say he shouldn't have been there but, for this family, I think it was totally right that he was, and that the others were. I am not religious (I am completely supportive of those who are) and, for me, I feel a sense of anger that a loving, talented, gracious, humourous, committed, and highly usefully intelligent person can be taken out of life at a young age. I have lost other people in my life who have just as much to offer society and family and it really gets to me that these people are robbed of their lifetimes.

Apologies everybody, I didn't mean to get on my soapbox but I feel all feelings deeply and this is no exception. I sat with his wife today, having watched her life crumble over the last few months, and, I don't know why, but I felt this overwhelming need to take care of her and I wondered how in hells name I can do that. Soup and muffins fill nothing when you see the void this person has left.

Sorry again, I shouldn't be posting, yesterday I was sad and today I am angry, and nither is the time to let out your words.

Right .

HM, tell me all about your feelings (lots of GPs hear what they want to hear). I felt shit a long time ago and I prescribed myself St Johns Wort as I felt too ashamed to do anything else. For me, it made no difference. Lots of things did help though. If you are feeling like you want to crawl into a corner, wrap yourself in a duvet and not come out for a long time then I'm your woman to talk to. Talk to me honey xx.

Sorry everybody, I ranted, I'm just hating watching others suffering. I am a happy hippie deep inside and I just want to teach the world to sing .

fg, don't feel bad at all for ranting. I think I would feel the same if I had beent here. Life really is senseless sometimes, and my heart is aching at the thought of that poor little boy calling for his daddy. I missed the post earlier.
It jsut so helpless though, there really is nothign that can be done. I'm sure the soup and muffins will be appreciated though. I guess all you can do is be there for her.

Fg............ it's why we're here!

I've missed so much again and not sure if I can catch up....

but I haven't missed that Mars needs congratulations ! Well done!

I did miss most of the pictures you all put up and took down again!

Frumpy, I'm so sorry about your friends husband , I hope you are able to give her and her children some of the help and suport they need.

Doris, I have read the Baby Secrets book and will give it a try. I am so impressed with how you are coping with the DTs and your dd! It really helps me get through my panic moments knowing its possible to have twins that are only a few weeks old and be feeling great!

Kelly, hope you get a better night sleep tonight.

HM, hope everything is OK!

Hello to everyone else!

Doing fine here although it feels as if my belly has expanded a lot in the last couple of days and I'm feeling really uncomfortable again. Finding it really, really hard to cope with ds when i am on my own with him which is really getting me down, he is just such a lot of fun at the moment and has so much energy, but i just find it exhausting and am unhappy not to be able to match his energy. He is also refusing to go to sleep at the moment so was up running around completely hyper until nearly 10pm last night which is way past my bed time.. but nothing to complain about really! Life is good !

are you around this evening leo?

Or would you like me to email you your own personal photo of my brood?

Ah Kelly, you stuck with me .

She has no family in this part of the world and I will stick with her. I'm not sure (a) how I do that when my plate is fairly full and (b) how I make sure my support is useful and not intrusive. I will do what I normally do........ and wing it.

Ah, how I wish we all lived nearby and you girls could pop round tonight with take away, a bottle of wine and some worldly wisdom .

I'll be fine tomorrow .

p.s. please someone tell me to piss off to bed early, I look like Morticia........

Well if you'd come down to London and take up your filmy white room...............

/link{http://members.chello.nl/p.klein6/Pictures/Barry%20White%20028.JPG\anyhoo... promised I would help spread the lurve!}

Oh HI!!!!! Everybody's here! Will I try and post a pic now????

spread the love!

Try that again shall we? lol

YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh Mars, I love you

Rant away all you like FG. I also shed a tear when reading about that poor little boy. Talking to a friend last night about FIL, I mentioned your friend's husband - at least FIL had had a good life. I agree with you that it is so senseless that someone with so much left to live for is taken.

HM - I know my children came the in a different order from yours, but I felt very similar not long after my DTs were born, but was very bad at letting anyone know that I was finding things tough. Has your health visitor made contact yet? Do you know her number from seeing her with your DTs? Would she listen? No real advice but sending big (((((((((((hugs)))))))))))) to you.

Right, stand by me girls.......

If I let you down, I won't forgive myself [chewing lip emoticon]

Tracey, so sorry to hear about your FIL . Too much sad news right before Christmas.

Well done Pixi for holding off the induction for a bit longer! If everything looks OK why should you be induced anyway?

whoops cross-posting with everyone...where's that pic then FG?

Mars, I'm around for a bit tonight but slowly fading away here (we are an hour ahead of you)... but I did get a glipse of your gorgeous DCs when you put the photos up!

FG, I'm sure you will be a help for your friend if she just knows you are around to give her support and help when she needs it. I doubt she would find you intrusive. I think things like offering to pick the children up from school and helping with them could be a good idea as it will give her time to herself and may help distract the children a bit as well.

wow its busy here!

fg I'm sharing a virtual bottle of wine with you now my dear - you sound to me like exactly the sort of friend who everyone wants to have around in times of crisis so keep up the good work

hm sorry to hear about DDs cough, you must be knackered poor you. I've never tried St John's Wort, but I do find rescue remmedy hels me cope when I'm feeling anxious, but if you need to see the doc - I was on ADs for about 8 months earlier this year (work related) and feel so much better now (have just gradually stopped them of my own accord, is that naughty?)

pixi keep those twins there as long as you can! My neighbour was in hosp for bedrest all last week, she's 37 wks now with her 3rd, went in yesterday to be induced and no movement yet, poor thing

hello everyone else, are we all ready for christmas

Yup! Ready for Christmas... all hangs on piximon really! lol

WOW! I posted my pics . At last, after making them smaller and smaller and smaller, I realised I was posting tif files instead of jpegs.....zzzzzzzz.

I will do it again sometime, its just the moment was right and I felt reckless. I sat with my heart in my mouth though so you might need to bribe me with alcohol I'm up for it, I'm up for it (i just typed groin pmsl)

Dingdong, what a lovely thing to say.
