Beautiful pics, Inglewood (gawd - did you have to change your name??? I get confused easily enough when I'm NOT pregnant, and now that I am my brain is mush and I'll keep forgetting you're YOU). Enjoy the pics of the twins together while you can - soon they get too big and all the scans will be of each individually. I'm clueless with nubs, but if everyone else says they're girly I think they must be!

Oh, and back to the discussion of sex drive - quite honestly, I never want to dtd while pregnant...or while breastfeeding for that matter. One of the main reasons dh was hesitant to try for #4 was he was fearing the sex drought. Since I BF for at least 2 years, it means very little sex for close to 3 years (and often almost none while pregnant and during the first 6 months after birth).

Girly nubs for sure! Interesting that you know they are identical- so one nub must prove the other!

I'm glad you joined Twinstuff - it was an excellent resource for me both before and after the birth of my twins.

Inglewood - I imagine you might find out the sex before you're 20 weeks with the extra scans you'll be having!

I must admit (and this probably sounds silly and selfish!) the more ladies I hear getting their girls, the less likely I think it is that I'll get a girl. When I was pregnant with DS3 (and I didn't find out the sex) there were several other mums of 2 boys on the forum I used to hang out on and literally all of them had a girl for their 3rd and I just knew I would be the one to break the trend! It's ok. I've said before that I'm lucky because I know I can be happy with all boys and because I have 3 already I think it's very likely - but I just don't feel very hopeful for my girl!

We had a real scare at bathtime tonight. I was washing the boys' hair and when I was doing DS3 DS2 turned the cold tap off so for a couple of moments DS3 had just hot water on him. It was absolutely awful, I was so scared he was scolded and I'm crap in an emergency. Everybody was crying (DS1 broke his heart worrying about his baby brother bless him). His back was very red but he was fine but I couldn't stop crying at what could have happened. It's so easy for some silly accident to happen at home to our little ones, it's scary. DS2 was really upset too - apparently he'd turned the tap because the water was splashing on him and it was too hot. He won't be touching those taps again for sure!

z- so happy he is ok. We worry about that a lot because 20mth old DS2 likes to play with the taps and where he stands the water hits his "boys" and we had a few scares. Hubby now takes a bath with them and sits in front of the taps to block them, but we have a big jetted tub.

I like to use a pitcher to pour water on them so I don't have to burn them.

Zanacal, what a fright u all must of got!! AWW, times like that u see how special the sibling bond is, caring and worrying for each other! Glad all was well in the end. Scary biscuits for a bit tho!! I'm a nurse, but when it comes to my kids I panic!!!!

I would love to think at my next scan (16wks) they might have a wee clue???? Really wanted a 4d scan and to take the boys, but they practically DOUBLE the scan cost with twins, it's just over £200!! And I aint got that!!! Will u find out this time at 16/20wks?

**zanacal** · October 25th, 2011, 04:04 PM

Thanks both - I'm so careful with the bath and close the door and keep them out while I'm running it and I always make them move away until I'm sure the water is the right temperature then keep a hand in it while I'm washing their hair in case the temperature suddenly changes. It really does just take a moment for something potentially horific to happen - I might switch to using a jug after this too. I had to use DH's 'bum flannel' to get cold water on his back - and we never go near that thing!

Inglewood - another mum I know is expecting twins (twin boys and she already has 3 boys!) and I'm sure they told her their gender at around 16 weeks. I'm still not decided whether we'll find out. I think I'm going to wait to see if we get any indication at the 12 week scan and take it from there. If we get a nub with any girl guesses then I might be tempted to find out for sure but I might see if I can wait otherwise.

Because DS2 is such a clean eater

the boys get in the bath right from the table. I will serve them, start the bath, eat what little food I have, and then the boys are ready to go in. The tub is done filling and the temp is just right.

**Inglewood** · October 25th, 2011, 04:19 PM

Z, I use a water jug, just what I've always done. Although now the boys are almost 9 and 5 they like showers, which means I get wet!! lol I hope I can find out at my 16wks can, but have a funny feeling they won't, will be 15wks and 5d, so might not??

Well, off to wrap and have fun! DS is 5 tom, my baby! So off to decorate my living room with balloons etc.... so excited for him. Having a softplay pirate party!

Take care all, nite xx
