Pinga- you poor thing, hope things have started to improve now ((hugs))

Babymad- Beck's sleeping/ feeding is amazing, I'd be so pleased if my baby behaves this well. Still loving the name Beck, would it be too weird to have 3 baby Becks on this thread?! Seems like the only name DH is happy with at the moment. Will have to check with Charlie too if she minds.

I'm really struggling with names, my other two have 4 letters each in their names so I'd like to follow this pattern. Initially was thinking Rico, Jago, Vigo or Nico something along those lines but Dh isn't convinced....it is so hard with a third boy, we've used up our favourite names already. I feel a bit silly copying everyone else but it has been on our list since I 'met' Charlie. wouldn't want to tread on anyone's toes though...

Great to hear from you LMW, how is the pg treating you? Any twinges yet?

I've got a stinking cold and really hoping I can get over it before labour, just feel awful and really not ready at the mo for new baby. (although I am really excited!)

[Petal]

Hello LMW!! how are you? We're in Aug now!!

Indigo, gosh less than a week to go!! My Dh wanted the same name as Pinga's DS3 if twins were boys (can't remember if she posted it here or fb).

Petal, shame about the meet. Would of suited me better now, but Dh is working and only has no annual leave left!! Plus it was gonna be too much travelling for us as girls still unsettled and it's a 7/8hr drive for me, over 300 miles.
can't wait to see pic's!! x

Babymad, how did u get him feeding 4hrly, what I would give for that!!!! The girls can VERY occasionally fed at 8.30pm and slept till 5-6am, but it's maybe once a week if I'm lucky. They went down early tonight at 8am, sure they will be up b4 midnight. Like you I'm often up after that feed, but sometime manage to sneek back to bed for an hour. Ds1 who is almost 10 gives ds2 his cereal and they watch tv till I get up with girls around 8am (if up 3-5am). They are so unsettled in bed and restless. I have to get out of bed every hour as they cry for a few secs, I put dummy in till the next 30-60mins. The boys slept from 4mths all night 8pm-8am..... the twins are awful sleepers. Wonder if I should split them up? put in own cots and they might settle more? Dh says not yet, but I'm not so sure.

[Petal]

Inglewood, even thou when u write about the girls being restless sleepers and are lots i just cant help going 'awwwwww' lol, they're soo cute :-))) I soo wish ds3 would have a dummy, stop him using me as one!!!! he's been sleeping in this last week, 10am yest n i had to wake him up 9.30am today! is nice to get a lay-in thou :-) but come september ill be waking him up at 7am lol.

Dh and i have decided to give pgd a go, next year maybe feb at genesis :-) Ive wrote to Savvas just waiting to hear back from him or his team so we can book things. Im excited but so nervous too. Im sure what will be will be......

Petal, I really really need a routine! It's hard with boys off school and when one sleeps the other wakens and vice versa (no joke!) They cat nap in turn thru the day, so I always have one of them awake. I find it so hard to get time to myself, I only get it going to adsa to do the weekly shop, quick half hour at WW, or when I go for a wee!! lol. When I am back to work, I will reply on them napping in the afternoon to get some sleep after my nightshift. Once boys back at school on 20th aug, the plan begins, think I will TRY (lol) and read the contented baby book. They do take a 'dream' feed but it means more work for dh and I lifting them to feed them at 10pm when they will still waken at 3am regardless of when they last fed, 8pm or 10pm. My body aches from constantly sitting feeding, lifting, changing....why I'm not a size 6 is beyond me!!! lol I sound like an old moan and I don't mean to be, it's just so hard sometimes

You never know, is there a twin chance with PGD? lol I'm so excited for you to be doing it and look forward to hearing all about it. I would of gone, had £ never been an issue and I wish you all the love and luck in the world for your exciting plans. Don't know alot about it really, where would you go? Cyprus?

Just noticed your ticker and can't believe your gorgeous boy is 8mths already! Loved the last fb pic, how sweet is he and his wee cheeky face looking to see who's watching!! lol

[Kell]

Hi guys, I got logged off and couldn't get back on
All sorted now tho yay!

Lmw thank you so much hun! It's so lovely to 'see' hope pregnancy is going well, can't believe you only have a few weeks left!

I've not seen Charlie around in a while, I know from you guys that her lo was a bit poorly? I'm assuming things are ok now? I hope so!

I'm producing enough milk to feed atleast 2 babies at the moment, omg it's so painful! I'm having to express before most feeds just so she can latch on properly! If I don't she ends up drowning, choking or being sick! I know that expressing is in turn producing more but I'm at a loss as to what to do :S
She wakes probably twice a night once we've gone to bed, but it's still early days so that may change!

Hope the girls that are meeting have a lovely time!

[Petal]

It is hard getting onto a routine, it does help that my boys are older, i dont think i could manage with a baby and 2 toddlers lol. They will get there inglewood, just takes time, although at the moment that feels easier said than done lol.

Ah Kell, glad little Lily is feeding well, better to have too much milk than not enough, i had to top up ds3 with formula coz i didnt have enough but now i barely feed him at all, once a night maybe n thats just if he wakes up n hes soon back off to sleep.

We will defo only use 1 embrio n freeze the rest (if there are any) convinced my dh doesnt produce them!!!! lol. Looking at feb half term plus an extra week :-)
