It's the only way they know. Make sure that you do your feedings with them very close to the same time. And the biggest thing is to keep a schedule with them. My twins just turned one three days ago. They sleep 12 hrs at night with one to two 2hr naps a day. Keeping a schedule is going to keep you sane. You can trust me on that one. Feel free to send me a message if you want to. I do have some experience in the area of twins.
See told you tamed, myth is the one to ask those crazy questions too ;)
Thanks CBW, you know you've being my rock so far with this pregnancy and I pray you find such good favours in every aspect of your life.Quote:

Everythings fine so far hunn it's a wee lad its been a long long day I certainly won't be late to bed tonight, millie seems to be on the mend going to probably take her back to the dr on Wednesday just to get her ear re checked as they did ask me to take her back.
How you feeling??
We call that placenta brain, cause your so busy worrying about what the placenta is doing for the baby you just forget everything else... lol. Not to mention I haven't been around as much as I usually am. I've been gutting the house we bought and getting it put back together how I want it... lol. I'll post picks of the finished product. I'm going to be sitting a second set of twins after we move that are a month younger than mine. My hubby thinks I'm insane. I figure they need me and my kids need other kids to play with so why not where I can be there and supervise them.
*edit*
Oh and just to let you know that when your at your wits end and they are screaming at the top of their lungs it's OK to put them in a safe place and let them cry a little. It's better than letting your emotions get to them cause they will know when your frustrated and unhappy and it will upset them. I still have to give myself a time out some days *especially during their more vocal teething*.
Placenta brain... I like that! Good luck with the house gutting although I must say that I admire you for finding time to do all these things. You're like supermum or something. I don't think you're insane wanting to babysit another set of twins, I can understand you perfectly. I was saying to my hubby the other day that I wouldn't mind another set of twins after these ones come out. Don't ask me why but even with all the stuff I've gone through with this pregnancy, I would gladly do it again. Ok, now I'm just talking plain stupid... ignore me.
I have to thank you once again for your reassuring words, my life seems less chaotic now, you're like a refreshing hot bath at the end of a hectic day.
Woo Hoo! A wee little lad at least you can put your mind at ease a little more now that you know things are OK with him. I'm very happy for you though, take it easy and get plenty of r & r.Quote:

Good to hear that millie's doing OK too.
Is the pain right on you pelvic bone hun? Can move slightly to one side or the other?
The pain is actually quite difficult to describe but I'll try to put it into words. Its more around my pubic bone, walking is agonising and moving from side to side is a nightmare, even opening my legs too wide is painful. Do you know of something similar?
I went through the same type of pain all throughout my pregnancy with the twins. I was told that it was my sons head resting on my pubic bone and my daughters weight on his was causing the pain. I also had a lot of round ligament pain. It really didn't get too unbearable until around six months though. I had to sit at work because of it. The dr put me on moderate bed rest at five months though because I was high risk and working was causing me to swell up so bad.
Congrats on the little man cbw. I think I missed that the first time around.
Cheers myth, yeah tamed be prepared for mw to say no more work for you lol I stopped work at 24 weeks and was on bed rest can't happen this time lol.
You will be fine listen to what the mw says when you see her this week its what they are there for ;)
Hey guys just wanted to see how everyone was feeling today. (Besides BIG and uncomfortable)
Ok guys I'm 17 weeks now and still haven't felt this baby move any suggestions?
Oh bless you crystal the more you worry about it the less likely you will be to feel the monstar having the party, try laying down on your back and drinking a VERY cold drink.
How are you all feeling today??
There is a party near my placenta... apparantly... lol...
Crystal, I know its unnerving... also try something sugary.. and lay on your back or side.
OK guys I'm going to try the things you suggest and we'll see what happens.
Last night my husband and I were being naughty and when I laid down I THINK I felt the baby change sides one half of my stomach was hard and the other soft so that put we at a little more ease.
You will be fine hunn xxx
I'm kind of late to join this party... been a while since I've been on! But I am 29 weeks and 2 days... (according to the latest due date change that is). I've had a dream-pregnancy... never got sick... but I have had a ton of heartburn, lol. And now that I'm HUGE... and it's HOT... I'm starting to get uncomfortable... but it's still better than some of what I've read... sorry it's been so rough ladies! Love and hugs to you all!! Just thought I'd throw myself in the party... **smiles & hugs**
:) Kris
Hehehehehee congrats Kris xx
Tamed, Al where are you lady's how is everything going??
IM here, just busy. Still cooking at 28 weeks tomorrow. Im starting to feel pretty miserable... baby flipped down and now its hard to walk. LOL. Contractions have really eased up though. They only happen about three times a day now. :)
How you feeling CBW? Theo staying busy? How far along are you now, have you met your mark?
Im all right Al I was 24 weeks last Friday I won't be happy till I reach 28 see the specialist and he tells me I'm OK.
Other than that everything is OK I'm measuring to date and he is mega active witch is nice in the day but not so great at night lol.
Im glad to hear the contractions have eased hunn you don't want any of that happening just you keep those legs crossed lol.
Hey everyone, how are you?
Well we found out were having another little girl so that makes one boy two girls, now then men are out numbered. Hehehehe
I found out why I wasent feeling the baby move that much, turns out my placentia is anterior and not posteria along with a little previa but I'm opptimistic it will move like it did with my daughter.
Although I do feel her only when I lay down but never when I'm up and going.
Well hope you all are doing good.
Good... 28 weeks is not too far away, I'm sure you will make it all the way to 40. I just have to hold this sucker in to December 20 and Ill be happy-meet my 90 day mark at the new job and be able to take my FMLA leave. Ill be happier if he hangs in to Jan 1st when my short term disability kicks in. :)
Crystal - glad to hear things are well...
That's great news Crystal we did tell you baby was OK just being naughty start as they mean to go on huh ;)
Al it isn't long hunn just make sure you don't over do it entertaining :D
Its good to hear that everyone is doing great, there's not that long to go for us so if we hang in there just a little longer we should be fine.
CBW, glad to hear that Theo is doing well, how is big sister Millie? The last time I was here she had an ear infection has that all cleared up now?
Al, it's a releif to hear that you have the contractions under control and hopefully no more hospital visits until after you're ready for little Jack to come out.
I haven't been around in a while, I've got so much going on. I have Symphisis Pubis Pain for which I'm having physio every week. At one point the consultant was worried about Twin-To-Twin Transfusion syndrome because one twin is smaller than the other but they've now concluded that they've been like that since the beginning and there is nothing to worry about which is good news. I'm almost 29 weeks now, haven't been able to go back to work since the beginning of last month but we're house hunting so that's been keeping me active.
Good to hear from you Tamed I like to know how you are, spd sucks I know how that feels that's for sure I trust your getting rest too as well as house hunting ;)
Millie is still wobbly poor soul will be off balance for a while yet, my god our weather sucks today its as grey as a old cup of tea yucky.
Hugs to you hunny xxxx
You know I'm trying to get some rest but their kicks are getting quite powerful and its gets even worse sometimes when their dad plays with them and they get my bladder caught in the middle of their play. Fun and games eh?
Its actually raining where I am at the moment so now would be a good time to take a nap.
My love to Millie, hope she'll get better really soon. I hope you're getting enough food and rest too and taking things easy. X
I bet it hurts like hell one is bad enough two of them stretching and poking and kicking must be excrutiating you sure have my sympathy a friend of mine had triplets a few months back and got to 38 weeks she said it was hell.
Millie has just gone to bed and that's where I'm heading too right after neighbours ;)
I just found out Saturday that I am Pregnant. By my calculations I am 4 weeks and 2 days. I go to the Dr on the 25th!!
Congrats lulu!
I've been absolutely horrible today. Do weepy, I cried at dinner. Ive been so moody, and my poor hubby and son don't know what to think. I went to work tonight and haven't spoken to a soul. I hate days like today, I'm so depressed. Hopefully tomorrow is better.
Woo hoo! Congrats! How do you feel?Quote:

Congratulations Ashley & Lulu and good luck to you both. Al, hope you're feeling better.
How's you today tamed?
I'm fine CBW, just went for my anti-D jab my was it exciting (she says sarcastiscally!). Its getting very tiring to walk but I'm still getting the exercise I need from house hunting, you know I just wish that sometimes they wouldn't kick my bad ovary. How are you, Theo and Millie doing love? Are you getting enough rest?
Fed up I want a bloody holiday but I'm not allowed feeling really annoyed because we always have one of our birthdays in centre parcs and we aren't this year its just bleh plus I've just been sent a major money off code ggggrrrrrr lol
Other than that we are all fine started the 3.30 wake up though that will be it now till next June when theo is sleeping through lol
I know exactly how you feel CBW, I wanted to go to ireland for a long weekend just to relax (and for our anniversary) but couldn't and I'm still ticked off, I got offered discount price tickets too! I'm kind of over it now (well I try not to think about it that is) I just try to remember that this is all for a good cause! I'm sorry you cound't go, centre parcs always looks so good on TV. I don't envy your 3.30 wake ups though, so much for trying to rest before Theo comes along. I'm starting to see why being a mother is the most demanding job on earth and I can't believe I got suckered into it (just kidding!).
