    You know my friend them is due christmas day and she can't feel anything either basically her sack is to thick the guy that did the scan last week was amazed she couldn't feel baby as it was really going some.

    As long as they keep finding the heartbeat, I wouldn't be too concerened... has it been a while since your last? I know there were times when I went in as well, and we could hear the movements on the doppler and I never felt them... if you hear the swishing staticky noise on the doppler... thats movement... sometimes the doctors don't mention that is what it is... you should be having a 20 week scan here soon, I'm sure all is fine.

    You know I think I may have to get one of those! I know its nobody's fault but it really gets to me when people (even some drs) say 'is the baby kicking?', I find myself constantly trying not to yell 'BABIES, BABIES! And yes THEY do' Somehow I feel that the other twin is being left out but I guess its just one of those maternal instinct things or something right?
    Apart from that though, I'm doing OK thanks Cherry. Getting bigger by the day, pain iis making it difficult to walk so I'm not sure if I should go back to work.
    CBW, time goes by quickly doesn't it?

    Ah tamed my dear are you back to eating normaly now?
  • Aug 30, 2007, 07:40 AM
    tamed
    I am actually thanks for asking. Between you and me though, this eating business is a bit too much for my liking and I cannot seem to keep up, these hourly trips to the kitchen and the fridge can be a bit taxing for someone who's used to going there only twice a day or so, but I am grateful that I only crave real food and by that I mean the healthy stuff, still not keen on the sweet stuff!
    They are moving around a lot more in there now and I think one of them has discovered that kicking (or punching) my ribs gets my attention!
    How you doing? Still eating? Never did get to see the finished product of your kitchen do you still have the pics?
  • Aug 30, 2007, 07:44 AM
    curlybenswife
    Blimey kitchen pics um there here somewhere ill have a look lol, I'm still eating but not as much I'm having a yucky few weeks been sick and stuff and now my daughters is ill too if it doesn't rain it pours here lol.
    Im glad to hear your able to eat now though hunn you really were suffering.

    I'm sorry to hear that you're not feeling well, did the doctors say what it is or is it just one of those pregnancy things? If it makes you feel any better, I still get nauseated in the mornings. Millie sounds like a trooper though, fingers crossed she'll be running around again in no time. Take it easy though and get plenty of rest.

    Im starting to get more and more nervous about it too, I never thought I would, but every once and a while, I stop and it hits me... lol..
  • Aug 30, 2007, 08:52 AM

    No I know I keep thinking how the hell am I going to watch her and feed the new one silly things like that...
  • Aug 30, 2007, 08:58 AM
    alkalineangel
    IM worried about him waking the baby up, and our normal nighttime and meal routines getting readjusted and what not...
  • Aug 30, 2007, 10:26 AM
    curlybenswife
    I think its going to take a few weeks of adjustment getting baby into a routine and trying our hardest not to adjust millie or connors the new baby has to fit into there's its only fair.
  • Aug 30, 2007, 11:21 AM
    alkalineangel
    I agree... Im so afraid he is going to feel like he's being replaced... I always hear about jealousy issues, and he's been our baby for so long.. he'll be 4 1/2 by the time Jack comes along.
  • Aug 30, 2007, 11:25 AM
    curlybenswife
    It will be fine as I say baby has to fit in with them and then its including them in absolutely everything it will be fine we just have to work it all the right way no pressents for baby without a pressent for connor or millie its got to be fair I'm going to buy millie a tiny tears for when baby arrives then she will have a baby of her own.
  • Aug 30, 2007, 11:27 AM
    alkalineangel
    I thought about arranging for some gift for Connor at the hospital... Oh I think she will love the baby... you can get her a little stroller to push her around in... giggle... I miss little girls.

    I'm in the same boat my youngest will turn two Sept 17 then we'll have another one a few months later.
    I wonder how I am going to do it, I'm already sleep deprived.
  • Aug 30, 2007, 12:38 PM
    curlybenswife
    LOL yeah but crystal you already have two don't you so you must have a little more knowledge than us??
  • Aug 30, 2007, 12:39 PM
    alkalineangel
    Yea, I'm used to only one... a very independent one at that.
  • Aug 30, 2007, 12:49 PM
    curlybenswife
    Yeah I hear you Al millie is certainly of her own mind lol
  • Aug 30, 2007, 12:51 PM
    crystalbivens
    Yeah but the oldest is 6 and goes to school, and a lot more laid back and less demanding then his sister.
    She owns everyone in this house and when this baby comes I'm not to sure how well it will sit with her.
  • Aug 30, 2007, 12:54 PM
    curlybenswife
    Ooooooooo strong minded to the extreme then don't envy you that one at all the only problem ill have with millie will be sharing her daddy lol she goes crackers if he even hugs me lol
  • Aug 30, 2007, 12:58 PM
    crystalbivens
    That's how Chloe is, she thinks she owns me which I guess she pretty much does but she has some major changes coming.
    AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW I write this as she comes to me covered in marker.

    OMG can I really handle this...
  • Aug 30, 2007, 12:59 PM

    Congratulations leesh!
    CBW, Al and Crystal, you guys are really starting to scare me. If you guys have at least one kid already and still worry about how you will adjust with the new baby, how should I feel? These two are my first and I have no idea what's in store for me. The further along I go, the more I realise that I haven't got a clue. Everyone around me is giving me a list of things I should have done but I don't even know where to begin! The only thing I've bought so far is a buggy and that's because there was a sale on at the time. I'm constantly bombarded with people telling me how much worse things will be with twins. My hubby (bless him) is a trooper but I think reality is getting to him too even if he won't admit it. Well enough of my rant, how's everyone else?
  • Aug 31, 2007, 02:07 AM
    curlybenswife
    Tamed you will be fine two at once won't be an awfull lot different to one just another mouth to feed and another bum and at least you won't get full on tantrums and screaming because you aren't giving the other attention our little ones can talk and tell us there disapproval only to well that's where our problem lays.
    But having twins will be a breeze for you because you know no different have you asked your midwife if there is anyone local you can talk to that has twins??
  • Aug 31, 2007, 02:28 AM
    tamed
    I have a couple of friends with twins and they seemed to have coped fine, although I think they were more clued up than I am. They say the same thing that you've just said, I guess I just didn't think that we would have so little time to prepare the house and now I'm so tired, I can barely walk and feel very useless.
    About your little ones, I can understand your concerns. I've seen too many times parents over compensating that the older one continues to get all the attention and the new baby just gets the basics. But I'm sure you guys would balance it out and won't get bullied by either one.
  • Aug 31, 2007, 02:49 AM

    I'm quite a hard cow bag my mother in law says I'm harsh but then I don't want millie to be a brat like her cousin georgie as that is one vile little cow.
    No mother knows what to do hunn we learn as we go I'm sure you actually have more knowledge than you realise don't let it bother you it does come very naturally.
    As for having lots to do well hey that's what internet shopings for and make that hubby and the family do stuff that's what they are there for ;)
  • Aug 31, 2007, 05:27 AM
    alkalineangel
    Lol... yes, we are all nervous. I come from a whole family of kids, and I was still scared out of my mind when I was pregnant with Connor. You will do just fine. We have these wonderful instincts that just kick in when time comes.
