I was going to say exactly the same thing - great bump and great duvet cover :D I must take a photo of my bump, I have hardly any of this pregnancy (I'm so over being pregnant!). Do you feel any better physically Babymad? I was wondering whether things might be easy for you when baby drops and you get some more space in your chest (I've developed the bowling ball between legs feeling this week and I know we're at practically the same stage!).

Today is the first 'proper' day of the Easter holidays for us. No work, school or childminder and we're still all in our jammies :D I should be nesting or something but I've pulled a muscle in my chest so I'm not planning on doing much at all. I'm pretty sure it's a muscle I've pulled in my chest but with all the worrying I've done about heart issues this pregnancy, I would rather have pulled a muscle somewhere other than the left side of my chest! It only hurts in certain positions and not when breathing so I'm trying not to panic and go skipping off to the doctor (again!).

Babymad lovely bump and also bedspread! love a bit of Orla.

Still on tenderhooks about the twins.

Potty training tips from me would be once in pants always in pants don't revert back to nappies on the occational day because it will be easier. I think it confuses them. I went out the next day with both of mine just took the potty in a bag.
Lots and lots of praise.
Also biggest tip is bulk them up on white carbs and avoid soft fruit at the start. really helps them to realise when they need to go and and don't have accidents because it's too late to get to the toilet.

Ds2 was a breeze, dry at night after a few days. First day of potty training wet his trousers 4 times. Second day not once and has had very few accidnets since and they have been when I have been nowhere near him and he's been really distracted.

totally with you on the once in pants dont go back (unless they really arent ready) its scary but I just bit the bullet especially with ds3 as he has to do the school run etc....we have had a few wees by the path en route but FX no accidents. Making easter cakes now :D oh and keep looking at my scan pics wishing the obvious boy bits were very swollen girl bits crazy i know :( i dont want anymore than 4 kids - well we cant afford it i just cant accept never having a girl

2monkeys ~ I hope you manage to sort things out one way or another in the near future as its no way to live hun, even though I fully appreciate its not an easy thing to sort out either - hopefully you'll know when the time is right.....life is far too short to be unhappy so I hope the future brings you lots of happiness xx

Z ~ I am so over being pg too - just can't bare it!! Still got all my health issues including the breathing....I feel trapped in my own body at the mo....cant tell you how much I long to me again.
I hope your chest stops hurting soon - but do go and see the doctor if it doesn't stop as best to get checked out.
Enjoy your day in your PJ's - I am absolutely exhausted today - I think I can do as much as i normally would and wonder why I am close to collapsing!! My friend said to me earlier, make the most of the rest as it will be manic in a few weeks time - what they don't get is that I would rather be busy/exhausted with a newborn rather than being a huge whale with far too many health issues for one person! Bring on the baby is what I say :)

Charlie ~ Me too hun xx I keep daydreaming that the baby will actually be a girl and the woman got it wrong and I picture myself giving birth and the MW passing me a girl......then I spend an hour crying wondering why I do it to myself :( Always here for you x

Lavender ~ yep I'm with on once in pants don't go back :)

Thanks for the nice comments about my bump - I do feel HUGE and everyday tasks are such hard work!!! including looking after 3 kids! This pg has really aged me and I feel very old and haggered!

I LOVE Orla Kiely :) I really want the stem iPad cover but need to save my pennies first :) I also love her kitchen apron and tea towels and her kitchen ware.....need to win the lottery :)

Our beautiful Ruby (5lbs 14 1/2 oz) was born at 0933hrs on Tues 3rd April followed her gorgeous sister Amber ( 6lbs 1/2 oz) at 0935hrs. Both perfect and adored by all the family.
