Oh no emma, i hope he is Ok, sending hugs to you all xxxxx

Sorry been a bit Awol ladies, but i have had absolute hell for 5 days now. I have been so stressed, the babies have been really whingey and we have had some real screaming matches, which is just so unlike them. Been pulling my hair out and not coping as well as usual. Have decided to find a nanny to help me out before i go insane!
What doesnt help is that they womt take a bottle, or a dummy, so my options for anyone else to comfort them are limited.
Just having a bad time really. Although today was much better, so hopefully just a blip. They have been such good babies up until now,
Pleased to say that the nights are still ok though, thank god! Xx

Awww Nikki, hope thing start getting better soon for you. I know you have to cope if you have twins but I would be cowering under a table if it was me, Evan is a handful as it is xx

Thanks ladies.

He's fine, can't say the same for our car

He's suffering with headache, sore knees, elbows etc etc was checked at the roadside but refused to go to hospital. The back end of the car is crushed and apparently the floor is buckled so it no a write off.

The other drive admitted fault straight away, he was distracted by a runner wearing orange shorts?! He didn't see the traffic had stopped and went straight up my fellas rear end, tut.

But the main thing is everyone was ok, thank god.

On a baby related note H decided he wanted to put up a bit of a fight going to sleep! He's been awake siince 4.30pm and was clearly tired. But mummy won and he is now in bed fast a sleep. We shall see how long he sleeps for tonight.

Cuppa tea, biscuits, snuggle with the fella and white chapel on tv....bliss.

Night night ladies and babies hope every one sleeps well xxx

It's late and I'm very tired but just wanted to send you a bet you were bloody terrified waiting for news! I'm so glad your OH is ok and I'm even more glad bubs wasn't in the car xxx

Oh V&B that is just adorable!! My eldest sucked his thumb and wouldnt entertain a dummy, where as H loves his dummy!

OH is fine this morning a little sore but no worse than yesterday. I tried to get him to take today off and take it easy but he hasn't and has gone into work. Stubborn man :/

How did everyone's night go?

H gave me a 1am wake up call! Haven't had one of those in a while lol but he had a bottle, wind, then drop back off for 1.35 and slept til 7.30! He's now napping in his pram so tea and toast for me then a quick clean of the bathrooms and a walk around the park later

Hope you all have a good day xx

P.s Nikki, you still amaze me. I have bad days were I think I could rip my hair out, how you cope with 2 is beyond me. Hat off to you lady. Sorry to hear you've had a few stressful days, but yay to getting a nanny!! Exciting times xxx

Morning/afternoon

We're had a busy day today so far. It's my niece's 20th birthday today so had breakfast out to celebrate and then H had his last lot of needles - he broke his heart crying and is kinda out of sorts now, wanting cuddles and to feed for comfort. No high temp though. I've also booked him on baby massage and a baby and me group.

Hope everyone is ok x

Afternoon Ladies & Babies!

I've had a really nice day with my mum today...JJ took an extra long nap indoors so we sat in the garden in the gorgeous hot sunshine drinking tea and catching up. Making the most of it before the rain hits tmrw...its going to be 10 degrees cooler too...which sucks BIG time considering we are driving down to Dorset for our holiday Oh well...

Off the finish the packing, will check in later! xxx

 

[vinandbella]

Well jack had been a little monster today. Does not want to nap for anything which Is very unlike him. He loves his naps usually. Think it's a bit too warm for him? He's not been crying tho just a bit out of sorts? Who knows. He sometimes baffles me. Hope the weather isn't too bad for u tomorrow chezza. I'm just getting used to this sunshine again xxx

 

[Emma.b]

I refuse to believe that the weather is going to change so dramatically. According to the weather man it's going to rain bucket fulls tomorrow if so I'll be hiding indoors!

I've had a lovely day with H apart from just now, he'd been fighting his sleep.

I was eating earlier and H was watching, his little eyebrows raising up and down as I popped forkfuls of food into my mouth. So I gave him his baby spoon, made an ounce of milk dip the spoon in and let him play with it! He loved it and would you believe he actually got it in his mouth and was licking it lol granted he jabbed it in his eye, up his nose and brushed it through his hair more than he got it in his mouth but it was funny to watch.

He's napping now so I'm gonna stick in my jacket spuds for tea, there huge and are gonna take well over an hour to bake!

Xxx

Photos please V&B!
Have just got back from a 20k cycle followed by a 5k run (as training for my triathlon next weekend). Had a great time but feel a bot guilty as E was apparently a nightmare the whole time I was gone.
Hope everyone's having a nice evening.

 

[AmyQ]

Good day today, Evan is on nap 4 - very close to bedtime but if he needs to nap I've been putting him down. I always put him down on his front now and he settles within 5 minutes - such an improvement.

Saw doctor earlier, Evan is going to stay on the Gaviscon for the mo, he had an epic poo earlier which was a relief. She's also going to see what antidepressants I can take while bf.

Evan's up, nice 35 minute nap so he can have a nice bath, read a book if he's calm and down for just gone 8 fx

 

[Chezza]

Evening All!

A busy evening for me...JJ had his bath earlier tonight at 18.30pm as he was being Mr Crankypants again...bottle, burp and in bed for 19.30pm. Good little man.

I've got some packing to finish off - but will probably do that in the morning now!

Bottle of red opened for me and DH to share and an early night I think! Rock n roll

Night ladies, sleepy dust to all babies...! xxx

Thanks for the support ladies, hope everyone is well.

We have had an ok day, been super busy so the babes have been in and out of the car amd pram all day. They hate being strapped into the car seats nowadays, so i get really stressed whenever i have to take them out. Trying to just ignore the crying because i need to get on with life, but its so hard sometimes.
They arent feeding so much during the day now, and its weird not to have one or the other attatched to the boob all the time, but i am loving the freedom from it. Just means that they cry for different reasons now. Mainly because they want attention or to be held, and in a way, hats harder than just feeding them.
Although our bedtime routine is set, i am getting a bit frustrated that they will only go down on the breast, and thats the only way i cam resettle them too. So getting them to sleep is very much my responsibility. I am trying desperately to get them to take a bottle again so they can have one at bedtime. That means i have to go and buy new teats and see if that makes a difference, or different makes of bottles. Its all a minefield for me, i didnt realise it was so complicated! I brought some suavinex teats which said 4+ months thinking that would be better, only to get home and realise they are fast flow wide teats probably for the thick formula or baby rice. Doh! Will try them anyway, but i think it will just be very messy and unsucessful with expressed milk. Must get to babiesrus and get some bigger tommee tippee ones.
I finally got myself back in the gym today too, and remember how much i love it, and miss it! And a dip in the spa pool afterwards was amazing. Just 4kg left to prepregnancy weight now, and fitting back into some of my clothes. Not bad 17 weeks after carrying twins! My belly isnt looking too bad either considering all the stretching it did.
Have started my UV treatment too, and my skin is looking much better already. Have to go 3 times a week though which is a chore with the babies because OH has to come too so he can look after them whilst i get fried

One thing i hate about having twins though, is that i feel like a celebrity everywhere i go, we get so much attention. Its nice i guess, but its bloody annoying when people just plant themselves in front of your buggy and go all mushy! Especially when i am in a hurry or just not feeling very sociable. That and the fact that i have to try and speak in spanish too, bleurgh!

Currently thinking about flying home in october when i wasnt planning on visiting the uk til xmas. I just cant wait any longer, my babies havent mat most of their family, and its so hard because they really want to interact with people now, and i think they get bored of me and OH. So begins the chore of getting their spanish passports, which is much cheaper than uk ones and they are entitled to either, so spanish it is! I dont even have their uk birth certs yet, they are so expensive to get from the embassy, im in no hurry

He everyone has a good night, mine have been in bed since 8, with just a little bit of resettling. Hoping they are down for the night now.....well at least until night feed time
Xxxxx

 

[vinandbella]

Evening right try again,

Got madam a cute outfit from next ordered the little skirt in as they didn't have her size, will post pics tomorrow we are swimming tomorrow can't wait! Only problem got to get up and take oh to work as his van us off the road so we are down to one car.

More porridge for madam tonight oh was getting himself in a tizzy as she ends up wearing it and not swallowing any I'm trying to explain that she'd won't for a while its just learning and fun. Wanted to bath her but come 7.30 she was starving as I fed her she started dropping off so jammies on and bed. Asleep for 8 ish just gone and resettled her.

Nikki I'm the same Libby boobs to sleep and needs resettling on boob too.

Chezza I'm too having a glass of red! Did I mention how jealous I am of you going to river cottage, well I am take plenty of pics please

I'm trying to stretch madams feeding through the day so she's hungry and hopefully eats more rather than being distracted, 2 1/2 hrs and 1 3hr gap today.

Sleeping baby's stay asleep for your mummy's

Finally got around to taking a no bump picture and making a comparison. Still a few kilos to go, but i am so pleased to get my body back. I never thought i would! The bump pic was taken about 3 hours before my csection
