Oh yes please do DM!! I only bought a couple of sleepsuits after my scan but my 20 week scan is on 9th January so if that goes well it would be silly not to try and get some stuff in the sales!!
I bought 2 sleepsuits, some pink scratch mittens and 2 bibs after my 20wk scan. I set for each baby!! Hope I don't need to return them to the shop after my next scan! Not going to buy anymore till my next scan at 22wks, will ask again, if still girls then can shop a wee bit in the sales as my 4d scan not till 18th jan, although I will be scanned on 28th Dec then 10th Jan by NHS. After my 4d scan if still girls,think I will relax and enjoy buying girly things!! Still doesn't feel right yet iykwim??? Ds1 thinks boys and Ds2 thinks they are girls, so after the 4d scan the Ds that was right get's first choice of a baby gift (they came up with this idea), so Ds1 wants to buy them clothes and Ds2 would buy them a teddy!! Bless, can't wait till we take them to find out. Their wee faces!!! Shame my in-laws are creating a drama as we won't tell them the sex till the boys know in Jan! Wish we had said we were ALL waiting till 4d scan as they have take the huff! So childish!
DM and Z, would love to see what u guys bought, I could post a pic of what I bought also!
Hi Ladies......been MIA for a few days.....just been busy. But I have been trying to keep up with my reading the thread!
Friday we (Hubby, myself, my Sister and my brother in-law) took the boys to the zoo! Everyone had a fun day and of course my boys loved it! Sat and Sun I had to recoupe from all the walking we did!:oops: Yesterday we had to run to the valley for Ds#3 1yr check up after his surgery he had in July 2010....but everything looked great and we don't have to see her ever again (unless something happens between now and as he gets bigger)...but for now he is good to go!
Today is a very hard day for many of my friends....1 yr ago today a friend, a mother and a daughter left this world....she was so special and had the most wonderful heart. She is missed everyday...today is a sad day for me, her daughters and her family! It is even harder seeing as she left us one week exactly to the day....the day I brought my Evan into this world already sleeping. Next Wed. Dec.28th will be a very hard day for me. The month of Dec. is full of sad memories for me!
Tomorrow we go for our 20 week scan and I am so scared....the next 2 months is going to be the hardest time for me to relax....I just want to be past this part already. I won't breath easy until I get past 27 weeks!
Sorry about Dec. being a bad month Princess--so sad.
It sounds like everyone is getting more scans? I don't think i get anymore :( Just the 21 week one I got. I haven't bought anything besides the few onesies early on. Still scared the sex will change! My SIL just gave some of her DD's outfits...most were never worn with tags on them! They were cute, but I still can't wait till I do my own shopping IYKWIM! Glad everyone is well--would love to see pics of what you bought for your babies!
Princess, sorry to hear that Dec doesn't have great memories for u, it's such a sad month for many people. Being a nurse I think it is so hard when I see loved ones pass away at xmas time and the memories left of that for their families each xmas after. Sending u hugs. x
I have already bought the car seat, the outfit and the blanket to bring him home in, a cute little white elephant and some yarn for my Mom to crochet a blanket for him! Other than that not to much!Quote:

I am beyond relieved....but still won't relax 100% until he is here! I am getting very excited and can't wait until we meet our baby boy!
princess - I'm sooo happy your scan went well!! :HH:
Princess - that's fantastic news, I'm so happy for you :D
Sorry I'm not around so much lately. We're having one sick child after another and of course I'm completely unorganised as usual and still have loads to do for the big day on Sunday! I finished work yesterday and today is housework day - I simply can't wait! I'm not even going to bother getting the boys dressed and I'm going to put on old clothes and get going ... soon, really ...
In other news, I really can't wait to be able to feel this baby moving now - it feels like it's about time! I'm 18 weeks now so I'm thinking any time soon right? I seem to have had a bit of a growth spurt (and my cervix is exactly level with my belly button - I felt it this morning and it was so obvious!). Suddenly my back is sore, my coccyx hurts when I'm sitting and my sciatic nerve is playing up. I was doing so well and thought I'd escaped all that this pregnancy!
Z, I was worried for ages that I couldn't feel them move, but since 19/20wks I've felt stronger and stronger kicks!! I'm sure I felt ds2 sooner, but someone said it depends on where ur placenta is? it might be in the way of baby and u? I couldn't settle about 2 nights ago from getting kicked way up high above my belly button (twin A) then way down in my pelvis (twin B), feels weird but I was desperate to feel them move, now I can and u will too soon! Won't be long till ur 20wks scan??Quote:

I have cleaned half of the kitchen thoroughly and it took me all morning!

Why am I even bothering, we only have my mum and dad coming over on Christmas day and I don't normally clean for them!
Z, think it's just a xmas thing! No matter who is coming over....we have my parents over for a while as I'm working later that night and they are going to my brother's for their meal and I still feel the need to clean! Want a clean house for santa, or maybe he won't come!! lol
You looked FAB in ur Fb pic's!! truly 'Glowing' I daren't post mine from my nightout. someone else has but thankfully not Tagged me. lol Your looking well, ur dress was lovely!! x
Hope u get some reassuring kicks soon! I thought with 2 babies I'd have double chance of feeling kicks, but they must be quiet babies!! we will see!! lol I felt flutters on/off until about 19wks then one day I felt twin B (the smaller one) kicking inside my pelvis, at the bottom of my belly, made my day! Won't be long!!!!
Thanks I - I had an awful dream last night that I lost the baby and now coupled with not feeling any movement yet I'm worried that it was a preminition. Every now and again I think I feel a flutter but as soon as I'm still and quiet waiting to feel more there's nothing. I might phone the midwives if I don't start feeling something in the next week or so - I imagined I would feel something by now with my 4th baby! I thought I just looked fat in my photos - I seem to have developed 3 chins and now I'm spotty too!
Happy Christmas to you lovely ladies and your bumps - this time next year the bumps will be babies :D
She's maybe just a quiet baby!! Fx says you! lol Twin A is very quiet and I don't feel the baby as often as B and it did take ages to feel movement from A at all. But if ur worried, then the midwife should reassure you and maybe do a doppler? Try not worry, I'm sure I felt ds2 alot sooner and I have 2 in there!! x
You looked fab!!! Seriously!! xx
I'm sure I felt a kick earlier today - but just the one and I need at least 2 to be sure lol! Hopefully they'll come thicker and faster soon.
I'm so fuming right now. I had mum and dad over the Christmas day yesterday and DH's dad over today. Today wasn't a big deal and I didn't cook or anything - I knew I'd be knackered after yesterday and would rather have had nobody over but DH's dad doesn't drive and it was the only way I could think of for him to see the boys. DH's sister, on the other hand, drives and can come and visit every time she likes but she's now making sarky comments on FB about how it would have been nice to see family today and to have been invited etc. etc. - bad enough she was annoyed but I'm so cross she's FBing it! Argh!
Zanacal ~ where's your placenta? my placenta is anterior and i didn't feel any kicks really this time until much later than my previous pregnancies.
I'm not 100% sure but I thought the lady at my gender scan said it was at the back so that shouldn't be a problem. It's probably just that I've got too fat! I weighed myself this morning and I'm really going to have to do something about that and cut out the junk I've been eating.
Definite movements today - hoorah!
Me too...put on a stone now @ 22wks!!!! The babies only weigh a 1lb each!!! No point till after the hols, 1st jan I promise myself to eat ALOT better. Yeh!! for the kicks!! Knew it wouldn't be long for u.... xxQuote:

More kicking today - it was far over in my side which was unexpected as I thought she was still tiny and all up front!
Zanacal ~ yay for the kicks!!!! :cheer:
Inglewood ~ wow 22 weeks tomorrow! your pregnancy seems to be flying by!
Hello All!!
I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas! It's been busy here and I'm totally beat...all of my kids are sick still which really sucks:( I'm getting prepared for my last client(I'm a doula for anyone that doesn't already know) who's due in January.....and then it's just wait, wait, wait til baby:) I'm 24 weeks now.... :cheerteam: which seems wrong somehow....LOL I can't believe how fast this pregnancy has gone by!
I'm starting to get our rooms organized, some sewing done, and our baby announcement created. I need to buy a new dresser for our new little one and 2yo and some new cloth diapers. Other than that, I need to buy some birth supplies for healing etc and some herbal supps and that's it! Yippee!!! We should create a to-do list for all us preggos on another thread...it's fun to cross stuff off!! LOL
Z- I have an anterior placenta this time around and even though I've had one before in my second pregnancy, it's still scary when you don't feel baby moving when you think you should. With DS2 (posterior placenta) I didn't feel regular movements until 19w along. I'm sure you'll start to get good thumps, soon! I know I sure am now.....it's in my cervix a LOT which is not nice at all. I've been meaning to post some girlie clothes pics but my hubby is at home for another week...LOL....don't want to get caught!
Talk to everyone soon!! xoxox
Z, will they take pg women at WW? Think I have a life-time attachment to that place!! lol If I hadn't been so sick I'd prob of put on more weight as the girl diet made my loose 2stone, then I lost 10lbs being sick, so now I'm eating normally I can feel it piling on and I am small at 5Ft 2! Not good. Dh's b'day on Hogmany, after that I'll be a good girl!
Doula, was thinking of u the other day since we hadn't heard from u in a while. Sorry to hear the kids are unwell at xmas :( are they better now?
The cross off list would be a good idea, just x2 for everything for me!!! lol Got to see them yest at my 2wkly scan and she confirmed 1 girl and the other although identical, she wouldn't say as the baby had it's legs crossed and the cord between it's legs!
Sunet, Can't believe I'm 22wks today!!
Bought girly stuff yest after my scan in the sales with my mum, keep opening the wardrobe to look at them!
Have leaky nipples today!! Great, was waiting for it as I always have around 20+ wks, hate it, time to bring out the breast pads now and eventulaly waken with soaking wet Pj top and bed as time goes on....
Off for a lovely bath! xx
They won't take pregnant women at WW anymore but I'm only a member online anyway - I may just do it during the week and relax at weekends and now fruit is mostly zero points I know I can still eat very sensibly. I need to do something and unfortunately just 'being sensible' is beyond me and I need something more structured!
Sounds like a plan!! I'm with you! :) I loved the pro-points and did well b4 my sway even started. Like u 'being sensible' isn't always possible here either, but with 2 babies in there and the possbility of 50-75lbs, I need to TRY! Here's to our 'healthier new year' xxQuote:

In other news, DH has gone to get us all KFC for lunch - healthy eating starts Monday!!
Have WW introduced that Filling and Healthy plan? Good for you! Enjoy munching till monday!! I will. xxQuote:

So quiet........ Hope ur all well ladies... xx
Come on Inglewood, it's January now :D
