Hi Divvy,

I'm in a similar situation. A good friend of mine is about 14 weeks PG with twins and we are all so excited for her! She's been trying for 10 years. Anyway, I've been thinking about what I can do too and am doing the following;

  • Directed her to BB
  • Handed on all my pregnancy books
  • Made up a box of clothes DD doesn't fit into (well two boxes, one of Unisex and one of Girls clothing - she will get the Unisex one and if she has a girl she will also get the girl box)
  • I've bought a Huggies "Starter Pack" (it has nappies, wipes etc)
  • I've made offers to clean her house/run errands/do her shopping whilst she is pregnant (she is suffering badly and hardly gets out of bed on weekends).
  • Making vouchers for cleaning/shopping.baby sitting for when the twins arrive
  • Made meals for her to stick in the freezer now so they don't have to cook (her DH gets home late and she does the cooking - this way she can relax)
  • Planning meals to make for when the twins arrive so they can focus on the twins
  • Also, I found a book at a store called Volumes in Eltham - I forget the name of the book but it was full of little quotes about having a baby such as things like not to worry if baby doesn't sleep through the night at first - they will eventually etc. I am buying this for my friend as she can be a bit of a worry wort at times.
  • I'm also making a basket of things I have found useful once DD was born (sorbolene cream, nappy rash cream, toys that have been a hit, CD's of nursery music etc).


HTH!
