HELLO!!!!! I keep popping in and seeing there is so much to catch up on that I creep out again before anyone notices.... I know I'm way behind but trying to catch up!
FG - you still have chocolates left over from christmas , you are so disciplined. Now, don't be selfish and bring some in and share them with us, no sitting on your special poo covered chair scoffing them alone!
As for the swimming, the amount you are doing is great and not necessary to do anything else if you don't want to(I also hate the gym), but doing a good stroke is more effective (not head out of the water thing), and you should try to do a couple of lengths a bit faster so that you feel your heart rate going up a bit. You won't get big shoulders from doing breast stroke.
Charleymouse, I meant to say earlier that the scans and picture are great! Its funny though, my bump is a completely different shape, it sticks out like a cone, I quite often have a knee or something sticking out jsut under my belly button which is the top of hte cone !
LG&T, very cute children, I also wouldn't want to cut my boys hair if he had lovely curls like that, adorable!
Hello 3pinter & estar
Estar, we also had a funny conversation yesterday about having more children after these , don't think I could stand to be pregnant again though, I would also worry about another set of twins (or more) and if these are boys then the thought of having 4 boys...! I mentioned adoption and dh said that he didn't think he would feel the same about the child if he wasn't the biological father (as he never felt much for his nieces and nephews), I disagree, I think the feeling comes from caring and being responsible for a child, seeing them grow and develop, sharing their life with you.
Throckenholt, a belated happy birthday to yours, so sorry I missed the day.
Dolly Paolo is also not my type either, FG is welcome to shower with him.
Overrun - how is the getting the dts to stay in bed going. I feel too unworthy to give any advice, but in my humble experience with singleton, I have resorted to restraining him in bed by holding him down with the duvet, this leads to tears and a cuddle and he falls asleep.... doesn't solve the problem but may give you one earlier night. More long term is to put them straight back into bed over and over again as soon as they get out (I guess this will take 2 of you with 2 children), don't talk to them at all, just put them repeatedly back into bed, it took 2 or 3 nights for it to work but now I don't have a problem putting him to bed, he knows when I put him into bed that he will stay there. Dh still has a problem because he still talks to him and negotiates with him and lets him get further than his bedroom door before he puts him back into bed.
Spinach - chop and fry some onions with some oil in a big deep pan, turn heat down low and stick in all the spinach on top add some salt or a little bit of dried stock powder. put a lid on so that the spinach cooks in steam from its own juice.
Hospital appointment tomorrow, getting my usual pre- nerves that something is wrong.
Its our wedding anniversary today so as a rare treat we have a babysitter and are going out for dinnner ! I am even planning ot have a glass of champagne, mmmmm, can taste it already!
