I'm still getting used to having a more common name after my fairly unusual maiden name. I like it though because my maiden name invited a lot of p*ss taking!

Triangle, I haven't really thought of buying anything yet, waiting until after my 20 week scan. Which ones do you have your eye on?

Well Gertrude Goat is an odd name!!!

Triangle - I got the bag from Boots but I don't think it's big enough to fit everything I need in. I've kept it as a spare cos it will come in handy for something but I also bought one from Babiesrus which is a lot more practical. Im not particularly a bag person so it wasn't hard for me to choose one.

Gin, how did it go meeting other twin mums?

xx

It was great. We met in park, went for a walk to pet corner, then sat down for drink/lunch. There were 5 mums with twins, ranging from 10 weeks to 22 months. It was good to meet other people, otherwise I would just sit on my own in the messy house. Two of them live quite close as well.

My changer/dresser is getting delivered tomorrow between 8am and 2pm. Now, I just need to tell OH that it is coming. Then I have Skype appointment with a friend.

Yes, I am sure about tips, but also listening to them giving birth at 33 weeks scared me out that I don't have much time to organise the house, sort out the wardrobes, hire the cleaner, tidy up the garden, etc... I am 30 weeks on Wednesday. It is scary if I only have 3 weeks left.... No, I am sure I will go to 38 weeks! I can do that just once more to prove my mother wrong!

Well I'm a big fan of Radley bags but their changing bags don't look big enough to me and are many, many pennies! There are loads of those Yummy Mummy Pink Lining bags on ebay which go for £75 :eek: new - even the used ones are expensive.

My favourite so far is one that looks massive, has loads of compartments and looks funky too - white with loads of green and blue stars on it. Its wipeable too! It is £30 - be honest ladies, is that too much to spend on a changing bag?! :D
