Wooohoo Congratulations Cathie!! Glad to hear you are all well!!

Kim - I soo hear you chicky!! I was like that with my last DS - 11weeks ago, so it is still fairly fresh in my mind (and body! LOL!) I know it's easier said than done, but try to rest while your other kiddies are away, and it'll all be worth it in the end!

I will be off line for a few days we are moving house/ town this week, will pop in again when I need an escape from the chaos!

Be good!

Phew - all moved. I am livng in a 7 bedroom/3 bathroom home and it is more space than i know what to do with!. I keep losing my kids in it. Most of the kids like to share aroom we still have a spare one!!! life is crazy!

[squidipa]

oh wow 7 rooms that sounds fab good on ya!!

Excellent news halltribe. A 7 br home sounds wonderful lol. I could do with the extra bathrooms. We only have 1 and it is chaos. We do have an outside toilet (and inside) as well but the kids hate using it. Haven't we all had the problem of sitting down and then knocking on the door saying "hurry up I have to go" I hate it. Next house will have at least 3 bathrooms + an ensuite lol.

I am starting to look like the michelin man lol my hands and feet and now face are constantly swollen. I'm just waiting for them to come and tie a big balloon to me to hoist me over a car yard lol. Only 33 more days to go (if I'm unlucky : ) ). I see the midwife on Tuesday and the acupuncturist on Wednesday. Will ask the m/w when I can start induction acupuncture.

I have been in so much pain lately. This baby sits really low and bounces off my cervix and then decides to see how far apart mums hips will stretch. I have ended up in tears the last couple of nights. Can't sleep due to monster doing the rumba and the cha cha for many hours. It feels like my tummy is ready to split open any moment.

Cathy - hope all is going ok. Let us know when you can how you are doing.

Sorry for the vent ladies but sooooooo needed it.

Hi ladies,
Not really enjoying the twin thing. One crys and than the other one crys, I can't get anything done. Thank goodness the preschool closes down at the end of the year, trying to do both is soooooooooooooooooooooo hectic. How are you kim ? Thanks for all your congrates on the twins. The 2 year old is giving me a hard time getting into trouble.

Fun Fun Fun
Cathie

Oh Cathie poor you. I have often thought twins would be nice then I think of the actual reality and think maybe not!!! Are you getting help from family and friends???
