Very quick post as a long day and we're all tired, will post more later or tomorrow - everything okay, but there are 2 little wrigglers inside. Not much more to say, other than the dates are alright and good blo0dy job we didn't get any kind of pushchair or anything!

:T Huge congrats MOTM. I've been thinking about you all day!

How did Lucy take it? I bet she's feeling very overwhelmed at the moment. (I know I would have been!)

Oh, very quickly, we've been offered a Nuchal scan.......yay or nay?

Will respond to you all later.....must feed everyone.

eurgh.............

had a very frustrating post natal check up.... wasnt worth me bothering in all honesty, she didnt even check my scar or my stomach. She was more interested in Landen - not hard, he's much MUCH more adorable than I am
Asked about his birth, explained my total lack of memory apart from 3 blink moments, but that i'm resigned to the fact that i dont actually want to remember it, which raised an eyebrow so then i got a lot more "feeler" questions, but she seemed satisfied with me.
Then we got onto contraception, where i said to her, i didnt want a foreign body in my body - thats just my way, and that i didnt mind either injections or pills, but my absolute ideal is to be sterilised, and she looked totally flabbergasted that i even mentionned it....
Pointed out i only ever wanted one baby, and after all the trauma of miscarriage, pregnancy, traumatic birth, and a husband who shares all those feelings,but i got the "you're too young to be sterilised"......
At least I didnt get the "oh well in a few years you may want another".....
So I'm a pill taker again for the first time in 3 years

DH has asked me to google how much to have his bits tied up

I would have it MOTM....even if it doesnt affect what you'll do could give you some peace of mind/help you plan...plus another scan is always nice

CAFC, free on the NHS. Far easier for the guys to get it done too. As well as seemingly easier to get a referral from your GP too.

Congratulations MOTM and Lucy, how wonderful for you both:)

I would have loved twins for pregnancy 1, or 2....... Thankfully there aren't really any twins in either of our families, so if we do decide to go for 'one more' it will be just that:D

How amazing that the MW could tell (or had a fair idea) so early on:eek:! Massive congratulations and how wonderful. Imagine if it's two boys!!!!


In far less interesting news work was :cool:. I feel like I am over dominating the manager who I am supposedly assistant manager to, but I'm just doing what I was brought in to do, so ho hum, I guess. I want to prove I am back at work because it is what I want to do, not just because I've just had a baby and need a job. I hope that I am doing that in a good way.

Maz- just seen your IoW pics on FB and your boys are looking so grown up! My friend's hubby owns a bus at the bus museum!

Krystal- mucho jealous of the shoes. We won't be having such things of beauty in this house, just boring old boys shoes.

Rather you than me with the twins MOTM lol...

Up to you on the nuchal... It's more accurate than the triple test. Our health authority don't do nuchal scans and I'm not having the triple test next week because the result wouldn't change the outcome of the pregnancy...
