How are you doing you are the only other person who i know in a similar situation to me. Im now 21+2 i have been feeling OK just a bit tired and nerve in bum is playing up but got a support band now. My little boy now 11 months not interested in walking yet but really good at crawling. I saw my friend yesterday who has non id girls 11 weeks old and she has a 22 month old boy, she seemed to be coping well and was also breastfeeding, bottle at night. She seemed very relaxed which is good as i not too worried now. Just thought id say hi. Still not sure re pram, might get Jane Powertwin with Car Seat not sure if to get 1 or 2 car seat, may just get 1 and see how it goes, and also looking at getting cheap double pram for walking up and down the lanes where we live. Back at work also 2 days a week for 6 hours each and every other weekend. Finish 14 septtember due to holiday owing and start mat leave 19 october due date 15 November also will be sooner. My son goes to childminder and is very happy there, as she is now becoming a good friend. Hope you OK.xxxx

I am doing ok, Saul is going to be 15 months (on the 20th) and he only started crawling at 13 months!!! He doesn't walk yet, though is pulling himself up on everything!!!
I'm now 17+2 and i'm getting enormous!!! I have SPD and Sciatica, which isn't too much fun!!! Had both with 1st pregnancy too!!!
I heard that the Out and About pram is a good one as its a 3 wheeler but quite narrow... I'm going to be doing some research on it... Oh I met someone in Clarks (while getting Saul's feet measured) who had twins, she recommended the Out and About pram, but she also said to join TAMBA... I'm definitely going to join as you get lots of discounts...
In a way I wish Saul would go to a childminder/nursery as I haven't had a break from him since he was born, not even for an hour!!! We are moving house on Wednesday and i'm going to look into getting him in a nursery for a few hours a week to see if he likes it... He's very clingy and possibly has Autism, so I don't want to stress him out, just in case he regresses!!! I may wait for the diagnosis first...
Did I ask you if you had names for your boys yet??? I like so many boys names, but can't find any girls names that we both agree on!!!
Keep in touch...

I'm dreading the twins coming and him not helping out at all, but we'll see... We've been married 2 years, together 4 years...
I'm also Rh Neg (its more common than I realised), do we have to have 2 injections as there are 2 babies???
I do worry about childminders, only because i've never left Saul with anyone, its not that I don't want to, its because (this is going to sound sad), I love him so much, I only want him to be happy... Once you've left him in someone else's care, you don't know whats going on and he is too young to tell me!!! Stupid eh???
I'm planning on taking him to nursery when we get the free vouchers (3 years old) as there is no way I could afford to send him as i'm not working... Didn't return to work after having Saul...
Nathan is a lovely name, we had Nathaniel on our list for Saul... Jared is also lovely, more unusual I think...
My e-mail address is sara.headlam@hotmail.co.uk, feel free to e-mail...
I'm definitely going to join Tamba then...

We were packing most of the day and evening as we move house tomorrow!!! Dreading it really as we have to live with my mum for a few weeks as our new house isn't ready yet..
She has the internet, so I will still be on here every day...
When we have sorted our stuff out, I will write you a longer message...
Anyway, i'm fine, just tired...
Hope you are ok too..

I put on 5 stone with my first!!! Took me a year to lose it all!!! Well, I am 19 weeks today and weighed myself yesterday and i've only put on 3lb's!!! This can't be right can it???
I thought the babies and fluid would've weighed heavier than this by now... I'm getting worried that something is wrong...
I have to wait another 5 days for my scan!!!

( i have twins aged 5 weeks and a 2 year old)
i have bought the jane power twin - it's great - and the car seats are very easy to put in- both the car and the pram thingy.
i recommend it!
its a bit big in the boot though...
when i had my single baby i put on 4 stone!!!! (WOW - i know!)
with the twins i put on 1 stone only - and last week i lost 4lbs - without dieting. so it hink us twin mums just do not put that much weight on. our twins eat all the extras!
i am back in my pre preggers clothes - and i can't believe it!
neither can my hubby - he has a bigger bump than me now!
good luck to you both! i have found it really funny going form 3 to 5 as a family...
its wierd - but wonderful!!!

How are you coping? Does your singleton feel left out? Thats what i'm worrying about as he has had my full attention all of his little life...
Can I ask what you babies are called? Promise I won't steal your names!!!

we are coping better than i ever thought we would!
it's much easier second time around. with a small gap you are still into doing nappies. i had only just hidden the steam steralizer at the bottom of the garage... it all comes much easier this time!
i do remember feeling a bit down after my first baby was born. but my twins are 5 weeks now and i have not had a single low moment. basically i have been so busy i don't have time to think - its just go go go all the time. most of the time i am just happy to have 3 kids - its amazing - and i did it in 36 months... though you will beat me chick!
my 2 year old was totally spoilt and had so much attention before... i was really worried!
but she has coped really well. only once did she lose her temper and be a bit violent so far! but she stood in the naughty corner for 2 minutes in floods of tears and has been very very gentle ever since. we never had a naughty corner before and have not had one since - touch wood! the twins do sleep a lot - so there is plenty of time for one on one. she is learning that when the twins have their bottle she will get her time after wards....
