Hello Mummys and mummys to be

Wow been reading up on how everyone has been getting on, its great to hear your babies are now sleeping through the night.

Everyone keeps telling me the first 3 months will be the worst, then everything will start to get easier and after reading through your posts sounds like thats about right.

Laura your boys are soo cute, what a difference from the first pics you posted.

Has anyone heard if Kimberly has had her babies yet?

Well i'm still hanging in here am now 30 weeks today, BP is under control all though meds have been incresed, protein hit 3+ but has gone down to 1 - 2+.

Can you remember roughly what your babies weighed at 28 weeks mine were 2'13lbs boy and 2'8lbs girl, so hoping when i go for my next scan next Monday they have put on over another pound.

Also was told last week that my Iron levels are dropping, did this happen to anyone else and have you any advice?

plus did anyone feel really heavy low down?, everytime my little boy moves feels like his using my bladder as a trampoline!!!!.

Take care everyone, so happy to hear all your precious bundles are doing so well.

Hi gals,

Not much time to post, but I wanted to check in...I guess Kimberly must be a mommy by now? I hope all's well for her.

My two are still sleeping pretty well at night. Not consistently, but we're consistently trying!

I posted a few pics on the bucket if anyone's interested.

Hi Guys,

Just popping in to say hi and see if Kimberly has had hers yet.....gotta be soon.

Laura - your boys are beautiful...they are definately alike!

Di - I will go onto the photobucket and check out your two next. I didn't realise this was your 9th go at IVF! Wow - an instant family to reward you for all your heartache. Well done you!

My boys are great. They have been sleeping through for the past 2 weeks now and "ah-gooooo" is their favoutrite word. Mummy is the funniest person around (I just crack them up!) and they have started to hold onto things - finally a use for all those thousands of toys I've bought!

Shall try and attach a pick of the boys....Laura can you stick it on this thread for me if you get a chance?

Love to all,

Em

Nicholas and Jeremy are doing well. They are smiling and babbling all the time now, except when they are screaming! DH and I went to Florida over Labor Day and I missed them so much. I enjoyed the first 2 days, but the last 2 days all I wanted to do was come home to my boys.

Kimberly- Can't wait to hear about you and your babies. Hope all is well.

Teen- Most twin moms get anemic during their pregnancy. It's nothing to worry about. It will resolve itself after delivery.

I am going to try to post Em and Kim's babies.

I tried feeding the boys cereal with a spoon for the first time today. As you can see, one liked it and the other did not!

:D :lol: :D Twenty Eight Weeks and Three days :D :lol: :D

Hi guys, getting there fast!!! Now I am feeling very very pregnant - can't sleep only on left side. Lots of peeing. Been itching like mad and even peeled like a dried up house plant last week - so now on half a pint of water every 2 hours. Still growing at a crazy rate about 1 and 1/2 pounds every week still only on my tummy which is so heavY!!!!!!!!

Must feel like the best haircut every after you've given birth so light!

Can't sit on my mums sofa bump in the way. Can't walk far tummy goes hard.

Bit aneamic and my white blood cell count was a bit high for no real reason.

But I feel great on the whole. Loving feeling the bambinos kicking.

Finished painting their rooms and some canvas's for them based on Golilocks and the Four bears.

Waiting for all the other nursery stuff to arrive.

Got the car seat - boy aren't they expensive!

Kimbely Can't wait to hear your news.

Kim Loving the mental image of Braeden the social drinker!

LauraLou Just had to email the pictures of your twinny's and the cerial to my mum and mil so funny!!!

Em Your life sounds lovely, loving your twins laughing at you ahhhhh must be the very best feeling.

Thank you all for the gorgous pictures

Love Quita xxx

Quita- I'm glad to hear you are doing so well! You are getting close! Towards the end of my pregnancy, even the extra large maternity shirts were getting tight. I don't know what I would have worn if I'd made it past 35 weeks.

It's been about a week and half since I started feeding the boys with a spoon and it's amazing how much better they've gotten at it. Most of it now goes into their tummies instead of onto their face.

I don't know if everyone saw the thread, but Kholtan had her twins. They are in the NICU but should be coming home soon.

I'm sure you are all sick of looking at pictures of my kids, but just one more. I bought them an exersaucer but it was too big, so I did a little improvising and now they love it.

Hi guys,

Thanks Laura for posting my boys.....GOD THEY ARE CUTE!!!! I know I'm a little biased!

I love the phone book-step!

Jasper has been in hospital again - this time with gastroenteritis. There is such a huge weight difference between the boys now (1.3kgs) that people don't believ they are twins which makes me very sad. I swear I am going to tell the next person that points out Jasper is smaller that we put him on Jennt Craig to make him that way!!!!

Have to dash,

Em
