Baggy my thoughts are with you today, hope it all goes well. Having multiples is tough but when something like this happens it just makes it all the tougher . You are doing a great job.

FG, not sure if its more than one yet but I wouldn't be surprised as I have felt so dreadful with MS and tiredness! I heard a hb with my doppler this morning though for the first time so that has really put my mind at ease. Scan next wed.

Shabs, I am gutted about the footy. I actually choked up at the end but that is probably just my hormones. I have never felt so bad after a match... it felt like my heart had been ripped out and stamped on. It felt worse than being relegated (and I have experienced that a good few times!)

Shabs, come over to my Man City support thread

Trips so glad your 3 had a happy birthday. And glad your DS did 2 LG&T Shabs hope Tom feels better soon. Sounds like he definitely needs to be off school. Vomiting is not fun, apparently my poor niece (age14) vomited over herself on the bus home from school yesterday..
So Tom definitely better off being at home!

I am cream crackered today. DTs finally settled for the night at 3am after feeding constantly since 8pm. I don't know where they put it, and how my boobs keep making milk!

DH was in work early today so I had all three kids to contend with. Dropped DD into nursery about half 10 & lost the rag with her when she bit me (really hard) when I was getting her out of the car. She was all surprised (as I don't usually shout) and said 'sow-wee' straight away. She was very clingy going into nursery, making me feel like a crap mum. Had a wee cry in the car on the way home
Already feel crap sending her into nursery but just know I wouldn't be able to give her the attention she deserves at home when it's just me. Struggling with that as she seems to prefer DH to do things with her rather than me. But with bf 2 very hungry boys it's difficult to get any free time to devote to her. Any ideas/hints/tips?

Just popping in to see what news from Estar and Baggy H had cleared off up the allotment leaving me nervously awaiting the call from the hospital, my insides are going over like a rollercoaster. A belated happy birthday to your son LG&T, hope he had a good day too! Sorry about the result last night Shabs Kids did have a good day, Becca went off this morning positively looking 5 rs older not 1, a real diva with her curls!!

starshaker · 28/01/2010 16:12

Hi just thought id pop in and say hi. To be honest i havent been on this thread for a while cos i had somehow convinced myself that i have enough trouble carrying 1 baby there is no way i was gonna manage 2. But had another scan on tuesday and both babies doing well (new pic up on profile). They have put me at 9weeks 2 days so starting to think this might actually happen lol. It hit me again that its twins when i saw them again, was amazing.

neenz · 28/01/2010 17:26

Hiya starshaker, it's great isn't it? Those beans are definitely staying put. At what stage have you mc'd before?

Derv, I think you are doing a great job BFing twins and looking after a toddler too. Your DD will be fine at nursery - they just know exactly what to do to pull on the heartstrings don't they. Some women put their kids in nursery all day every day so they can go to work and those children survive. And your DD is not going in all day every day is she? It will be good for her to have a run around and a play for a bit while you concentrate on the twins.

starshaker · 28/01/2010 17:28

Ive normally MC at 6 or 7 weeks. Last time i had a mmc at 11 weeks but baby stopped growing at 7 or 8 so im further than i have been before (obviously not including dd lol)

bagpuss · 28/01/2010 19:36

Hi all, am back with news.

Nobody from the hospital phoned me all day and so at 4.30 pm I took the bull by the horns and phoned them. They had forgotten to call me .

Anyhow, I spoke to dt2's consultant and he said that the general opinion among the surgeons was to perform a balloon catheter first and to see if that gets him through. The idea of this is to minimise the amount of open heart surgery he will need over his lifetime. So while he still has to go in and have a general anesthetic it is a much less invasive procedure and hopefully we will only be in hospital for a few days. Feeling a little relieved here. I have to phone tomorrow for a date which will be in the next few weeks.

neenz · 28/01/2010 21:31

Bagpuss, that sounds really promising. I can understand why you are relieved that it is a less invasive procedure. They must really feel positive about it all if they are suggesting that? Rubbish that they forgot to phone you though. I love the NHS but you really do have to push them sometimes!

Starshaker, that is great news... really positive. You are so calm... I have only had one mc and I have been a nervous wreck this pregnancy! But with the twins I had lots of scans like you and it really gives you reassurance doesn't it. This time they refused to scan me early so have to wait till next Wed when I'll be 12+3. Heard a heartbeat today with my doppler though

starshaker · 28/01/2010 22:10

Trust me i am not even a little bit calm lol. Think im in denial or something. Trying not to think about things too much cos my brain might explode lol.

accordiongirl · 28/01/2010 23:06

Hello muvvas!
(pokes face round door to see if I can recognise anyone, Shabby you here?)
I've been pulled off facebook and asked to play you a song, so here goes:
Yo-o heeeave Ho!
Big kisses xxxxxxxxxxxxx

shabbapinkfrog · 28/01/2010 23:13

Hiya love!!!!! Evening girls - only just got Tomster to bed - because, in his words, he is too excited about the wrestling tomorrow night. Also very, very excited that we are going into Manchester at nightime ROFL Into the great Metropolis!!!

accordiongirl · 28/01/2010 23:15

PS thanks Harrogate Mum for remembering me and hauling me over here. I'm still here, feeling a million years older and a billion years wiser but at the same time stupider and stupider by the day. Does this make any sense?
Pink one and blue one are TODDLERS, three years old on christmas eve, can't believe that last time I was on here it was all bottles and boobs and now it's tantrums and phobias. But they're nice, I really like them, and still call them "the babies". Anyone else find this a hard habit to break?
God, does anyone still do an update round here - but like a two year update!? In your spare time please...!

accordiongirl · 28/01/2010 23:17

So Tomster's back up and running then! That's good.
Oh! Just spotted that we've got some new faces. Oh heck it looks like a titty - is it a breastfeeding face or something...? How did a jammy dodger come to mean no comment or hadn't I better not ask...?

shabbapinkfrog · 28/01/2010 23:22

Yes Tomster is up and running - he has got a heavy cold and a bad cough....GP reckons he gets a touch of asthma when he has a cold. The school attendance officer rang my mobile today to check that I knew Tom was off school WTF????? He said the secretary who had taken my call thought I sounded too young to be Toms mum - ROFL yes, of course I do!!!!!!!!! I was so angry with them but was glad they were checking as well. It has scared Tom and he is resigned to going in tomorrow

shabbapinkfrog · 29/01/2010 07:30

Good morning girls xx

triplets · 29/01/2010 08:30

Goodmorning. Very glad to hear your news Baggy, I am sure the proceedure will be successful and far less traumatic for you all, brave lady xx
Ok, after an agonising week and an agonising day yesterday waiting for the call from the hospital, this is what they have said.
The team of liver specialists from Kings have looked at the scan and said more surgery is possible to remove the new growth, but they want him to have 2 months of chemo first to hopefully reduce the tumour. Next week he will have a pet scan, please God it doesnt show up anything we dont know about.The chemo will go ahead, then liver surgery, then surgery to remove the growth in the lung, then further chemo! To say I am not looking forward to the next 6 months is something of an understatement, but we have to slap on our faces and get on with it. We will tell the children over the w/end, also have to tell them we wont be going to Florida. On top of everything 30 mins after the call from the hopsital last night, Becca came downstairs in floods of tears. Her long standing best friend who came to her party along with her two new friends, sent her a text saying she wouldnt be going shopping with her on Sat, she obviously has new friends and she had better go with them. She was so upset she textd her back and said one word, sorry. Her friend replied, "exactly". So I phoned the mother and put her in the picture and we have sorted it out! Silly stress I dont need. Back later my lovelies xx

neenz · 29/01/2010 12:26

omg Trips, girls are so cruel and silly - just because your DD has a couple of new friends her best friend gets in a huff! How old are they? She sounds like she needs slap I really really hope the scan goes well and nothing new comes up. It's such a shame about Florida, I really think the guy should give you your deposit back if he re-books the place. Can you plan something else for the kids instead?

Hey accordion, you made me laugh. My twins are 21mo now and sometimes I still call them the babies. But I am having another one now so that will be the baby (hopefully only one)

frumpygrumpy · 29/01/2010 13:27

Trips, daft moo that girl.
Baggy, good, lets do it.
HM, no estar update?

I am fed up being busy. Need tips on slowing down. And getting comfortable with achieving less.

Shabs yahoo its here!!

You know the ropes.

D'y ever wonder if Paolo is made of jaffa cake?
D'y ever wonder why they are spoiling the world with plastic?
D'y ever wonder where all the single earrings are?
D'y ever wonder why nobody buys coloured toilet paper any more?

HarrogateMum · 29/01/2010 14:02

update from estar...DT went into surgery yesterday for investigations on his lungs and bone marrow, he recovered really quickly and had no after effects and is the talk of all the specialists as they cant work out how such a healthy child can produce such strange results. No diagnosis yet and could be a while before results come back.

Fingers crossed for her and for baggy and Trips, thinking of you all xx

snorris · 29/01/2010 14:15

Saw your message HM - been trying to find an appropriate moment to come back, but there hasn't been , so here I am. Haven't even been lurking (for various reasons) but managed to have a quick skim through.

duckyfuzz · 29/01/2010 14:36

I am around, jsut busy and can't keep up with y'all, but will you join me in a glass of prosecco later, I'm celebrating
