D'ya ever wonder who passed the responsibility for starting a new d'ya ever wonder thread...

[curiositykilled]

It was ruby... she passed it to the newbie!

Cant get her out of my mind - poor girl - she is only a little bit older than DS1

Facebook wont allow me on - site maintenance - really need to be on there today - anyone who messages me Im not being ignorant just cant get on at the moment xxxx

very sad about dizzy.

Just heard Dizzy's sad news. My thoughts and prayers go out to you dizzy. Like all of us, I have been sat here crying for you. We are all here for you and ready with big hugs, mugs of tea and irreverent chat when you are up to it. Be strong. Your beautiful daughters were lucky to have you as their mummy for however brief a time. If there is anything we can do, please let us know.

Oh poor, poor Dizzy., Words just aren't enough, are they?
Thoughts with Dizzy and her DS, her parents and little angels Emily and Charlotte.xxx

So so sorry dizzy . God bless Emily Rebecca and Charlotte Rose.

Dear all, am sat in hospital. DT1's waters went at midnight. Both babies now breach. Labour halted while steroids work. I'm not in my local hospital as no neonatal beds. DHand dcs miles away.

Am thinking about Dizzy - so sad.

OMG Bagpuss - are you ok? How far along are you now - I have lost track of everybody xxxxx

bagpuss - try not to think too much about dizzy, concentrate on your own DTs. Thinking of you. Hope things go well, is your DH coming? Are you OK? Are you staying in now until you deliver?

Shabs, 32+3. Not ok, a bit scared. dh was with me all night has gone home for sleep/dcs, curiosity. have just had chat with neonatal docs. am at arrow park on wirral. sorry typing crap cos of keyboard and drip. thanks for kind words.

Hope you'll all be fine, steroids will help the DTs in case they need to come. You are quite respectably far along now for twins bagpuss. At the stage where every day is a bonus rather than every week. Try to be calm, waters can replenish themselves even after they have broken, rest and drink and let the drip do it's work. Arrow Park is frustratingly near but too far from me. x

I couldn't remember how far along you were - mind you I cant remember my own name today You are bound to be scared love. Sending you massive hugs, loads of love and a big chunk of courage xxxxxxxx

thinking of you bagpuss, hold on tight and stay positive

not sure how i've come across this thread as not a multiple mum - but just wanted to say that i had dd2 (a 27 weeker) at Arrowe Park - we spent 11 weeks on the neo-natal. it was 3 years ago, but the care she had was amazing. also ds and dd1 were 31 weekers - all 3 of them came through with flying colours. wishing you all the best!

ruby - yes Had some pesky builders in turning the power off all the time this week so have been checking for dizzy mostly and trying to look on my phone if there's been anything I need to prioritise.

Have been a bit low and stressed with everything that's going on with XP and having some more difficulties with DH and his interaction with work. He is applying/interviewing for jobs. I am worrying he's thinking about cutting his losses and bailing out right at the most difficult time possible.

He's not really talking to me about it and he's been in aintree a lot this week and not home till 8 which has been quite difficult for me with school runs and two little DCs + SPD. Feel like I am juggling a few too many plates and cried all over my mum today so she has taken DCs to her house for dinner. Just feel rather useless and reliant, DH is not really in a good head space and I am picking up the slack for DH, XP and the DCs atm. Lol, so maybe not really very fine but much better off than many.

bagpuss xxxxxx, c'mon girl, focus, you can do this. Get photos of your DCs right by your bed, that will focus your brain to precisely where it needs to be. Remind yourself that you are going to have two gorgeous and healthy babes who will grow into strong and ebullient children, driving you nuts!! Ignore everyone else's traumas right now. We won't but you should.

You may be miles away from 'normal' people but we can keep you company at all times. Post if you need emails to get mobile numbers for texts (or talking - not me!) from any of us........I'm sure any/all of us will happily oblige. Even me

We are watching and waiting and we are virtually in that room with you. Stay sane. Stay lovely. You can do this!!!

Morning girls xxxx Got the hangover from hell!!! Went out with H for his birthday - haven't much recollection of anything after about 9. Can remember being sat in a rather posh smoking area and making a bloke I know laugh so hard he spit his beer out - classy place Bolton!!!

Bagpuss hope you are ok - sending love xxxx

morning Shabs. DH safely in Aus now...its too hot for him, 35 degrees and he was complaining!

Morning HM - thats a journey and a half isint it? My friend flew to Sydney for her sisters wedding - she said it took about a week to get there (or at least thats how long it seemed ).

thanks for your kind words fg, it really helps. i am feeling a little better today. doctor just been in to see me and thinks that if i was going to go into labour i would have done it by now so drip coming off this afternoon and then hopefully moving me to ward. if all goes well then i might be discharged back to local hospital as an outpatient. i keep thinking that if i can get to 35 weeks then i can have them nearer home and maybe not in scbu at all so i gave the dts a good talking to last night and told them they would be better off staying inside me just for now. still leaking like a seive atm which is not nice but at least im not having to do any housework. dh being a star and coming in to visit soon. shabs hope that hangover clears up soon. hm hope things ok without dh - you will manage just fine i'm sure.

Bagpuss you sound so much better, so much more calm. Well done you. Have you any idea of the weights of the babies? My two boys (born at 38 weeks) were 5lbs 13ouches and 4lbs 1 ouch xx

Morning all,
Bagpuss, you are doing so well. the babies obviously like where they are with their en-suite facilities so I hope you give them a stern talking to and persuade them to hold on bit longer. Try not to think too hard about things and just concentrate on the amount of chocolate cake you can eat on discharge! Honestly- it's good for their development

Shabbs, I'd forgotten how classy you are!

DD is now back in her cot and we didn't have to take the sides off. I've even stopped getting in with her! It took about 4 days but she's there. Still waking at 4.30 but will now go back down. I'm shattered but holding on.

yes it takes forever...27 hours via Abu Dhabi, Singapore and Sydney...hence the reason our trips there are so few and far between.

Bagpuss - sounds like you are much calmer as Shabs said....hang in there!

Hi there, I have been on this thread a few times before... my twins are now 17mo. Shabs keeps telling me to come back so here I am!

I was so sad to read about dizzymare, if you are reading this I am so so sorry, just take one day at a time, you will feel like your world has come to an end but over time you will feel better, just try to focus on that. You can't force it but it will happen, just give it time.

Bagpuss, great news that they don't think you are in labour. Good luck. Are you Liverpool or from further afield? I am in Formby.

A question for all you twin experts: what did you do when your twins started fighting over toys? Mine don't really fight as such - the boy (Theo) just follows the girl (Esther) around and takes all her toys off her. She just gives them up and walks away, it is even getting to the point now where if she sees him coming over she just gets up and walks off before he even gets there. At first I thought if she wasn't bothered then I wasn't bothered but sometimes she will get fed up and bite him. So now when I see him going for one of her toys I try to distract him. He still does it though! Any suggestions?
