Yep, I'm the other NW attendee So, four of us, huh? CK, Glenny, Airline and moi.

CK, I've done the antenatal classes and it's funny how different it is with different presenters, which I imagine you had, because ours never passed around the epidural needle or catheter for a c/s. I would have been very interested to see them as I'll more than likelly be having a c/s. I didn't get too much out of ours either, although in one class she talked about what to do if bub had a temperature and this was good, common sense information. No need to bring a doll if you don't have one, as there are plenty of spares. Re PG weight, I lost 100 grams last week! Go figure. So at 28 weeks I have put on 9.6 kilos, which I am pretty happy with. Plus both bubs are in the normal growth range, albeit in the lower end, so that's goood. I figure by the end of this PG I'll also put on 15 kilos but, hey, who knows? Sonds like you are doing great, too, with your weight gain.

Glenny, wow, I've had plenty of bleeding from my gums when I floss and brush my teeth but I'll consider myself lucky now not to have lost a tooth or part of one. FX your dentist fixes you up today. Hope you get heaps out of your antenatal classes starting tonight.

Lairdoz, thanks for the tip about Target baby clothes lasting the distance. I bought a few things from the recent Target sale but resisted buying more baby clothes as we have bought quite a few onesies and singlets in different sizes already and it's hard to know how big/small these babies are going to be. We bought two bouncers for a bargain price of only $35, two lightweight cotton beanies for hospital in case they're in special care or just cold from the air-conditioning. Good to hear your scan went well. You haven't posted the gender of bub so I presume you're keeping it a secret? Are you chuffed? (I'm being a snoop; just ignore me!)

Juniper, aw how cute your DH calling bub his M&M! I think that's a great idea giving your baby two middle names to differentiate between a new co-worker and co-worker's child. Have you had anymore luck in selecting a pram? BTW, you seem pretty computer savvy. Do you know how I can upload a photo in this forum? In another forum someone has uploaded a picture as part of her ticker but in my permissions it doesn't allow me to do this. Do you know of any other way to do it?

Airline, as others have said, baby will take all the nutrients s/he needs from you and you will be left wanting, so no need to worry about that. It's safe to have an x-ray and a local. Having said that, I got a root canal done with x-rays before being PG; I planned it so I only needed a crown with a local whilst being PG and was told by my dentist a local is perfectly fine and doesn't get to the baby. As for MS, I don't think anyone can tell you how long it will hang around for. Some lucky ones (thank you god!) like me never had any, while for others it lasts only the first trimester and for other it lasts the entire PG. FX yours buggers off soon.

Jaki, it's nice when you get some comfy maternity clothes to wear instead of trying to fit into work clothes.

AFM, the nursery is pretty much completed and we're really happy with it. We forgot to put on the sound & movement monitors before making up the cots! D'oh! But we'll leave it like it is until we have the baby shower (about 4 weeks away) and then wash the sheets and blankets and put on the monitors. I keep sneaking into the room and sitting on the single bed which we'll use as a feeding lounge and just looking and imagining two babies in there soon! OMG I can't believe it. It still doesn't seem real even with the nursery being complete. And our Baby Jogger City Select in Ruby Red is in the garage. I've taken it for a spin up and down the hallway and can't wait to get out on the streets with the twins Saw the OB yesterday and he's really happy with my progress. Other than this damn carpal tunnel (which he said I could have operated on during PG if I wanted) and the swelling in my cankles, my GD test was good, sugar good, iron levels great for twins, blood pressure 120/72 and both babies heartbeats detected by doppler. Plan is 37 weeks c/s if I have placenta previa (should know for sure by week 34) or if not, then planned c/s at 38 weeks.

Hope everyone's having a great day!
