Henry was a monkey last night. Even strolled out of his room declaring he was going downstairs at 3:35am!! Don't think so kiddo! As u can imagine I wasn't very happy with that statement so got him back into bed and he's just woken, so he a decent few hours. He was up 3 times before his escape too.
Got this week off work as its hubby's birthday tomorrow (he'll be 30) Just about to jump in the shower & see what the day has to offer x
Good luck today caseysmummy xx

Rant time.
so I am in some way attached very loosely to a group of women who are all mentors for homebirth which is great.
However, I am quite happy to give birth in a hospital, I have no issues with hospitals and had a great section at my hospital with my son so no reservations on having this baby there.
However, I made the mistake of mentioning this and instantly im being pressured to give birth at home because that's what's best for everyone.
I have also explained that my babies have a tendency to lie transverse and im in the rare percentage where my son never turned and i was hospitalised due to the dangers of waters breaking but they're all saying if i plan for natural home birth it will happen. BUT it might not!! If I go in to labour with a transverse baby we could both die! not like i'm making an issue over this, this is fact and the sad reality is that in a 3rd world country both me and my son would never have survived so I was lucky that we have sections and that I had one and it went smoothly.
I feel really pressured though, like im making an a really controversial decision NOT to birth at home and they all seem to think i'm mad and should give this baby chance to come naturally at home

Just politely nod & agree & then do whatever u want.
If ur happy in hospital then do that. Don't let them make u question ur choice. If u wanted a home birth u would have one. But ur happy in hospital so don't let them pressure u xx

I am open and happy for people to share their opinions and experiences, but I hate it when people believe their opinion is the only right one and pressure others to think the same!
You are obviously going to put yours and baby's safety and happiness first, you know what the risks are so you've made an educated decision based on that. Sod what anyone else thinks, you need to do what's right for you! Who knows what those people would actually do if faced with the same experience?

TIRED! lol
Jessie like the others sod what people think, i HATE the whole motherly competition and pressure to do this and that, do what you like and I think you are doing the best thing. I would like a homebirth but I am going with the flow and safety of baby and me first. A safe delivery is best whether its at home or in an operating room, gah annoys me so much sorry you're getting all that.

Thanks everyone, just needed to get it off my chest to people I thought would understand. They cant see past this ideal birth situation and realise that actually for a lot of people, me included its a physical impossibility!
Oooh yay Orion, enjoy your last day in here xx

More mummies getting promoted! It still doesn't feel like we've been in tri 2 long enough
I'm home alone with the boy for a couple of days as OH is at the NEC for a trade show, so I've bought my favourite chocs and tidied up and it will stay that way! Lol
So embarrassed, but needs must- is anyone else having trouble with maternity jeans? I have two pairs of different brands and both keep falling down! I can't walk anywhere without having to keep pulling them up, soooo I've bought some braces!
that should keep the buggers up lol!

I got desperate a few days ago and bought some from an ebay shop, unbranded but new and they got here this morning and are great! I think they cost me about £12 but fit really well and and the style is alright too

Afternoon ladies, works finished yay! Struggled towards the end but I got there. Booked my mat leave for 28 weeks as per advice from drs and other twin mummies and then my supervisor said shall I book the remainder of your holidays for just before that so I saud yes and it's turns out I had loads left and instead of finishing the 27th feb I now finish on the 11th! I think it's for the best I do it that way as after today im not sure I could have done another 4 weeks. So just over a week then im done with work til after the babies are here. Going to get plenty of rest and spend some quality time with my little boy before they arrive! I've just been given maternity trousers at work and I too have been having to pull them up all day, there over bump and making my bump itch loads too so going to take some cream with me tomorrow to keep my skin from frying out and hopefully stop the itching. Little man also had a fab day at nursery today and his teachers said he listened lots more than usual all day so ive treated him to a kinder egg and a film this afternoon which he was chuffed about also means I can rest with him xxx

I bought some Red Herring mat jeans from Debenhams on Sat. They're amazing! They go right up to my boobs lol. I love them, so comfy. I had a pair of Next mat jeans but the band sits right in the middle of my bump so they kept falling down, whereas these ones go right over my bump.
Although they did cost more than i wanted to spend really (I think £28-30 ish) the over the bump bootcut jeans i ended up getting from mothercare have been pretty good so far.
Feeling quite positive today, managed to phone up mamas and papas to sort out the £60 off a mattress as ordering online it just didn't take it off so was worried i'd have to battle them a bit for it but they were fine. Hoping it's nice and quiet at swimming when i finish work and then a nice fresh pasta tea. That's the plan. OH has a cold so I'm really hoping i don't catch that :s
