    AF - I can't say anything because I worked too hard all through November but you know yourself that both of you are happier if you let go a little and don't work so hard. :A


    yeah i know....what you wrote has made me cry....not your fault, just says something when people you 'dont' know can see things but those that work with you every day can't, or can but dont give a (insert own word) becuase having you working like mad makes their life easier.

    icklebeans that's so exciting, you could have one of each, a complete little family made to order! Are you excited or terrified now you've had time for it to sink in?

    My god, i don't know what i'd do if i had twins in here? Is it bad that the main thing i'd be worried about is getting worse stretch marks???:rotfl:

    Sorry sweetie - you know I am only thinking of you. Tell the idiots to kindly go away ;)

    You never know, maybe bubs thrives on the adrenaline? Bubba hated it when I was busy and used to stay really still and quiet and make me really worried, bubs moves around a lot for you when you are stressed :confused:


    Just to make you feel worse ;) I am on complete wind-down...I finish today (which will not be a full day) for 2 whole weeks - don't come back into work until 5th January. And then I will only have 29 days of work left 'til I finish up to wait for bubba to arrive :D

    I know you are only thinking of me and that is the worst part :D As I said, people who should be thinking of me (colleagues I have worked with for 5.5 years and trainees who i have helped so much) take the mick and all i hear is 'can you just do this' fifty thousand times a day, and am yet still needed to do everything else as well.

    Bubs does move around and kick me but i think that's more his way of telling me to think about him and not work :D

    You deserve your wind down. Enjoy it!!!!!
  • Morning ladies,
    Can anyone recommend a pregnancy book I can get for hubby?
    Thanks.

    I think that there is a Haynes Manual one which is suppsed to be good.

    I am sure one of the other ladies will be along with better advice in a minute :o

  • AngelFairy - thanks for the link, I didn't see it from Sammi yest!

    Hypno - I am well used to the idea of twins now. Even more so as I seemed to have ballooned this last week or so and most definitely felt movement last night (19 weeks this weekend for all you symptom spotters!). Just trying to be prepared, hence the looking at double buggies etc today (haven't seen much choice yet) so we can buy in the sales - double cost and all that!
    Proud mother of twin boys - double the trouble and twice the pleasure! :T
  • Morning girlies! :D

    11 weeks today - yipee! :D

    A friend of mine sent this to Mr Pickle and I and I thought I'd share - very funny!

    Hope you're all well today x x x

    Morning ladies,
    Can anyone recommend a pregnancy book I can get for hubby?
    Thanks.

    I got my hubby this one http://www.amazon.co.uk/Blokes-100-Tips-Surviving-Pregnancy/dp/140190792X
    Its a funny one with no gorey stuff
    I also have this one http://www.amazon.co.uk/First-Time-Parents-Miriam-Stoppard/dp/0751319589
    as its aimed at mummies and daddies - not that hubby took any interest in reading the men's bits of it, each page has general info then a side bit for men and a side bit for ladies. I referred to it often in the early days
    The very best is sometimes what nature gives us for free.
