Quite a bit better ta. I am of your attentive DH Curiosity - mine only noticed I wasn't well when the washing piled up a bit.

curiositykilled · 16/09/2009 22:25

Look! I have MN on my phone, in bed! Lol. My DH is truly lovely, we have shooting stars on the TV, he has made me a cocoa and a hot water bottle! My dad managed to miss my mum having 2 weeks off with swine flu! My dh doesn't really notice if i am sick either but he's had 33 weeks to think about me being pregnant! I love him very much, we're still newlyweds really. Glad you are feeling a bit better! Is tom ok?

Shabs glad you and Tom are feeling brighter.

Curiosity what a lovely dh you have.

new babies sigh the lovely baby smells, the cute little squashed up faces, the little cries (or loud screamers in my case), the warm bundles in each arm....

It was lovely, just read some of my old posts, yes there were tears but lots and lots of good moments. It can't have been too bad, I remember dh and I taking ds1 to the London Aquarium for his 4th Birthday with dd1 and 6wk old dts in tow. Happy days.

Most of my tears related to what I now know was dt1's diary intolerance related reflux and my guilt over switching to formula. Oh Momma if I only knew then what you've since taught me. That combined with dh doing 6hr commutes each day plus looking after the other two and managing the nursery run etc was a killer. I want my time with dts as babies back. Only this time I'd leave cbeebies on all day, sod the nursery run, avoid all dairy products and stay in bed with dts for weeks a while, not run around trying to be superwoman, refusing help and doing it all myself.

Do you remember that mad posting I made after finding out at scan dc5 was a singleton that "I wish it had been another set of twins" I secretly still do...

Good luck you ladies. We adore babies so when they're here and you're feeling a little frazzled hand them over .

Off to my bed.............needed a slug or 2 of Tio tonight girls........FG you ALWAYS say the right thing, I feel much better now. Shabs hope you get a good nights sleep and feel better xx
Off to the hospital again tomorrow, H has a barium enema to face
Night all xxxxxxx

pixiblue · 16/09/2009 23:32

and on that happy note I'm off to bed. Night all.

pixiblue · 16/09/2009 23:39

Trips meant to say last night that I think the trip will be a wonderful break for you all. I can fully understand why you're feeling apprehensive but at least you now have something really exciting to focus on and plan for.
Don't H the barium test. I had to have the version where you drink the chalk drink, was absolutely vile tasting.

frumpygrumpyisacoffeeRevel · 17/09/2009 00:23

Just catching up. Off to bed soon. Sleep tight all xxxx.

Sounds like pixi might sit in the chair!

Took me a while to get used to dh. I only realised when i wrote on the round up thread that i don't deserve him i actually feel more like i do deserve him but he probably deserves better than me!

His family have all welcomed ds, dd and I with open arms. It has been as easy as the rest of my life has been hard.

curiosity, I am in awe of your amazing memory or dedication to research - what a fantastic update of where all the pregnancies are up to! If I lose track of mine, I will ask you immediately .

Yesterday ended up going quite well. Unbeknowst to me, my phone broke yesterday so just as I put tea on the table, DH arrived and said 'I've been trying to ring you for ages, your parents are coming to see the boys!' It made it a bit more frantic - cooked emergency extra food for tea, had to put off our friends who were coming round later, and meant that kids went mega-mega hyper for the rest of the evening, but it was lovely . This morning I am reaping the consequences - we all got up late, they messed with their new presents instead of getting ready, were over-tired and after I dropped them off realised I had forgotten all the PE kits and to tell the DTs they are going to a friends house for tea....

Ah well. I'd rather have a bit of chaos in life than be uptight super-organised and never have surprises!

Thanks for the clarification flumpity. I remembered that it wasn't a good thing but couldn't remember why, but it just means there's a chance of twin-to-twin syndrome, doesn't it? I presume if you're at 30 weeks that you've been okay and there's no sign of that?

estar · 17/09/2009 09:58

Have just announced the pregnancy on FaceBook. I know 15 weeks is quite late to be doing it, but I've been putting off the 'FIVE??!!?? You must be insane!' comments as long as possible.

Right, must do another school run with the PE kits. Thankgoodness for that, I was wondering how I was going to fill my day...

Hello there, might I be allowed to join you all for a metaphorical cup of tea and a chocolate hob nob? It'll have to be metaphorical, I live in Germany and they don't do chocolate hob nobs here, boo! I'm 31+1 with twin girls (also monochorionic!)

shabbapinkfrog · 17/09/2009 10:19

Hiya firsttime - welcome to the nut house

My BIL lives in Paderborn - is that anywhere near you?

Just realised thats another expectant multiple Mum - so it cant be the water in the UK - it must be one of the chairs in here!

shabbapinkfrog · 17/09/2009 10:30

Is that 8 ladies now expecting twins and 2 with twins expecting singles?
