WOW LOTTIE!! huge congrats! twins must be a bit of a shocker especially with everything going on in your life at the moment but you will be fine, as everyone says on here you come across as such a strong and confident woman - you can do anything! how far along are you now?
chooster - what an ordeal you have gone through! how is ds now? that is my worse fear with ds especially now he is into climbing i turn my back for 2 seconds and he is climbing up his high chair! scary stuff! funny you ask about herbie, we have had such negative response for his name choice (me and dp love it) only a few people have said they like it where as with oscar everyone loved the name so always referred to him as "oscar" whereas herbie is still being called "it/him" by most so i actually find myself saying it too. i think people are hoping we are going to change it last minute - but we wont!
city - lovely to hear from you! so sorry to hear about your granny sending huge hugs your way. cant believe your ds is 10 months already, the baby stage certainly doesnt last long does it?
fettle - make the most of the 2 weeks you have with dh. i hope you get to spend some nice romantic evenings together before he goes away. what is it he does for work again? yes i am working nights its definatly starting to take its toll though as i am getting bigger and more uncomfortable and tired but i plan to go on ML by end of july so will have a couple of months rest before ds2 arrives.
ready - your nursery sounds fab! we got ds a zoo type cot mobile and bumper and quilt set from babies r us, the mobile has elephants and giraffes on.
greedy - how was your spooky night alone?
mrs - how are you feeling? how is Xavier reacting to your bump? do you think he understands slightly what is happening? oscar always rubs and kisses my bump and when we sit and cuddle he always keeps his hand on it, he also calls it herbie too which is so sweet!
hello to everyone else honey, seaside and bodkin!!
all ok here, saw the midwife today and all is well. i am off to a birthing again group this afternoon to try and get some confidence back about giving birth again. i have only just got my car back on the road but the damn hire company i went into (it was a low impact crash and my car just crumbled in comparison to a few scratches on the bumper and cracked reflector on the other van) said they want to settle outside insurance which was fine by us as the damage cost was literally only £100, but now they are trying to claim for dented door, paintwork scratches and some other ludicrous stuff which even the driver said was there when he hired the van. i have battled and battled and oddly cant get hold of the driver anymore so we are going through insurance and just pre warned them that the hire company are ripping them off, what else can you do?
love to all xx
