UK SMOG Wannabes - March

Awww maybe - he is simply beautiful!!!! :) Try not to worry too much... easier said than done though isn't it!! Do you have to wait long for the scan?

Inglewood - sorry to hear about your friend. Even if you know it is coming... it is never easy to deal with... x
I just can't believe you will be holding TWO little bundles in 3 weeks! It seems so soon! Have you got any help? My SIL had twins 3 years ago and in the early days a lady used to come in one morning a week and just help out with things around the house. I think it was through her local council (shes in Surrey). I think it used to be a lifesaver for her.. her parents live a long way away.

DH let out some of his GD yesterday!! I was saying how his Nan goes particularly gooey over a friends baby girl but isn't as gooey over our boys and I feel a bit hurt by that... and was making jokes about all his siblings having only girls (none of them are near having kids yet). Have to make jokes... its a way of coping. DH wouldn't look at me and said that he didn't want to talk about it... "its not funny its just really depressing. I'm trying not to be negative." Its just strange to see the GD so clearly from DH... feel alone in the GD sometimes... but I guess not!

Hi ladies, hope you're all doing ok! :)
Ds2 is poorly with a high temperature again.. it's always someone who is under the weather when you have kids :( at the moment i'm busy doing a "spring clean", sorting through the boys toys and generally getting everything sorted around the house.
just wanted to pop in and say hi!
inglewood can't believe that you've only got 3 weeks to go :D exciting!

Morning girls, hope you are all ok and having good weeks.
I'm getting worried about how I'll cope with 3, at least I have a few more months to get my head round the idea. I just love my sleep too much and get SO grumpy when I don't have enough.

Maybe- has dh got a couple of weeks off for paternity leave? You will have to let me know when you start doing the school run again so I can keep a look out for you, can't wait to meet baby Dave. Have you decided on a name yet?

Inglewood- sorry to hear about your friend.

sunset- hope the sickness clears up soon, sounds like our house, non-stop sickness, it gets so boring!

LMW, with ds1 I was in 4 days and 3 with ds2, hoping for 3 days this time too as the boys are off on easter hols from school, so a few days to get my head round 2 babies might make me more sane!

Z, Thanks, tried to see someone this morning about ds2 and couldn't, but going to school later with recycling stuff they are collecting, so hope to see someone then. It's parents eve for ds1 tonight and can't really speak to anyone then. My nappy collection is impressive, u should see it!! I reckon though it's about 3mths supply!! OMG! need a bank loan to keep them going!! My SIL uses Tesco's and swears by them, so hoping they are ok and I can use them, although my mum been picking up nappies from everywhere!! lol

Thanks for your kind words about my work friend, so sad for her family losing someone so young. Funeral next week.

Hi Deaks, hope ur keeping well? a busy lady!! x

Sunset, this time of year you think the kids will pick up less bugs and when u think you have got rid of 1 there is always another to take over! The boys have had bad colds followed by terrible chesty night coughs!

Me too!! Working nightshift I've missed alot of sleep over the years, so hoping that helps with 2 babies!! Although bet I look 60 when I'm 40! Can't believe I am jumping 2-4 kids with no number 3 in-between. Dh and I just getting used to full nights sleep and fewer early rises.....and here we go again!!!! x

That's unfair of his nan and un-called for. Your right, we prob don't think about our men folks with regards to GD. My Dh always wanted boys and wasn't fussed for a girl and openly admitted that to me when I suggested swaying. Now he's delighted, but admits he's a bit anxious about girls, esp 2. But I know many of you have partners who were just as keen as you to have girl, whether or not they spoke much about it? and comments like ur dh's nan is nasty. Did she have girls and boys?

I would be entilted to help if ds2 was not at school, but since he is I won't get help with twins. A girl at work did, but she had 2 already under 5!! eek! Dh has 6wks off work to help and with my mum local I'm very fortunate.

Inglewood - I think DH (like me) has always wanted a girl. I think he was hoping that DS1 was a girl. His Nan just had 2 girls... Then her oldest daughter (my MIL) had BGBBB and her second daughter had GB. Ah well - I just have to try and ignore it.

Shame you aren't entitled to help. Not sure why my SIL got help as they were her only children - I think the lady was a volunteer.

We're coming into autumn - hurray!!! But its 30 for the next 2 days and 22 overnight (booooo). This pregnant lady is getting very HOT overnight.... I keep flinging all the covers off even when its not particularly warm. I don't know how people do pregnancy in crazy hot countries!

Anyhews - hope all is going well with everyone... bubbas been kicking up a storm tonight :D its really one of the most magical parts of being pregnant.

night night - I'm off to bed...

I always assumed I'd have GB or BG as I come from a family of mixed genders. Dh and I were the only ones to have same sex families until my brother had his 2nd boy 18mths ago. But on Dh's side with his siblings it's BG, GB, BBG (2 boys are not my BIL's). Even Dh comes from a GBGB and my mum a BGBG, my dad was from 3 girls and 4 boys so I couldn't believe I had 2 boys, like I said just assumed I'd have 1 of each, but wasn't to be. I really really had to talk Dh into a 3rd baby and although he did say a girl would be nice, he didn't mind either way. So to have 4 kids I feel like I have put TONS on extra presure on him, when he was happy with the 2 kids. I do feel very very lucky they are girls (FX they are when they get here) because twin boys would of been so very hard for me to accept. The shock of 'twins' has been made a bit easier by them being girls. I hope one day you and ur Dh do have ur girl, I feel so guilty having 2 girls when all you ladies want is 1, it's on my mind alot.

I feel the heat here at night, usually I'm wrapped up!! and it's cold here, very!!!! Must be our build in hot water bottles!!! Lovely to feel kicks,not so good when it's an aerobic workout our babies are doing!!! ouch!

Anyone ever take low strength Co-codamol in 3rd trimester? My back is REALLY bad and I read it can cause breathing prob's with baby?? Wondering if I should call Gp and see if it can be prescribed?

it should be okay inglewood! the dr perscribed me the high strength ones (30/500) after i had the car accident to help me go to sleep. he told me to take 2 before bed but i only took one as i was scared to take 2. even 1 makes me go dizzy and light headed.
