cattymeow! That is amazing. Any scan pics we could see? Id love to see twin pics. I wont get any scans until the 20week mark as wasnt offered 12week scan and I kept forgetting to go to doctors and ask about it. I am 11+2 and was told not to come back about bub until 14weeks. And the doctors are closed a lot over xmas new years and I have no car atm as DH is using it til we pay his rego. sigh. I had scans at 6weeks and 9weeks but didnt get a good pic at all.

AFM I am emotional and crying a LOT atm. Cried over the garlic being bad so I couldnt have the garlic and tomato omelet I wanted desperately for breakfast. lol.

Have no baby belly, just a food and fat belly. lol oh well it will come. Having lots of trouble sleeping with being uncomfy, having nasty headaches, DH snoring and elbowing me constantly (im bruised) and kids coming in and taking over the bed cos they had nightmares (im starting to not believe this as surely she cant be having nightmares every night at similar times??)

I am spending a lot of time on the computer as I am so tired and havent the energy to do anything but supervise and try to involve myself in my kids very active play.

Just trying an egg and lettuce sandwich cross fingers as nothing else has stayed down...

Oh as for NYE..

I would love to do the family thing with the fireworks in the city thing, however I thing DH and I will both be too tired to drive the hour there find parking an hours plus walk away and have the kids complaining about being tired. We would have to get there NYE morning to get a better park... Sigh.

hi girls,

havent been on EB in a long while, i think too much has happened for me to have a chance to catch up!
Am 11 weeks and 4 days now and still tired. MS never really hit tho hasnt been as smooth sailing as with DS2 but i'll take it! The nausea is settling down and the hunger is settling in!!! Still next to no energy tho. I turned down the 12 week scan so waiting till end of Feb to see our little bub. Brought a fetal montior so in a couple weeks can start to listen to the heartbeat at home Doctor said to come back in "a months time" which really is early Jan but i think i'll put it off till Feb and go in time to get my 20wk scan request, figure i dont really need to see her at this stage unless something feels wrong. Am busy with DS2 who just turned 1 and started walking the same week and keeps me run off my feet now! We have a girls name all picked out but boys names will be tough as we have used the ones we did like on DS1 and DS2..tempted to wait till the scan and just see if we need to think of any or if we get off lightly and have a girl this time!!! my weight is keeping constant which is a good thing lol .. DS1 is so excited about having another brother or a sister ..DS2 doesnt understand of course!!!

Hey Cathy15. Big congrats to you! Great news on the MS front and I, like you (and many others no doubt) am so looking forward to getting my appetite back! How did you find the Christmas celebrations? I hope the wait until Feb isn't too long for you.

Mummy Nicki, thanks so much for the congrats. We're pretty excited and daunted all at one! I've put a 4D of the twinnies on my profile if you'd like to have a sticky...gotta love the little alien-looking tikes!

I'm hearing you re: NYE fireworks, though I'm prepared that our neighbours may have a wild party that will go well into the morning so might be a good chance for a romantic night away somewhere!

How are you all feeling? I hope you're not too exhausted after the festivities of Christmas. I've still got some MS although I'm optimistic that it is improving (and even more hopeful that my appetite is returning).

Best wishes to one and all!

[mummy nicki]

Oh wow how amazing are those babies! Still a little alien like yes lol, but its still amazing.

[ollies-mum]

Cattymeow big congrats to you! How cute are your two little alien babies! Have you got a bump yet?

mummynicki hope you managed to keep that sandwich down!

My husband passed me his head cold yesterday Just want to do nothing but sleep especially in this hot 39 degree perth weather.

Hope all the other pregnant mummas are travelling well

[cattymeow]

Thanks mummy nicki and ollies-mum! It's pretty amazing to see them both side-by-side. At one stage they were even posing in sync...thinking we might have syncronised swimmers on our hands. I have started showing ollies-mum. I think a day or two before our NT scan I started to expand but the last 5 days, I swear I have exploded! Hubby is enjoying being able to get away with saying how much I've grown (it's the only time of life he'll be able to get away with it...at least without having to sleep on the couch).

That egg and lettuce sandwich sounds mighty tasty mummy nicki. Hope you manage to keep it down! I was thinking that things were improving a lot for me after the last couple of days; alas, peanut butter on toast came back up this morning. On a positive, the sizzling satay chicken for lunch is sitting pretty so here's hoping breaky was a one off!

Wishing you and your growing bubbas good health and happiness!

Wow congrats catty! What a wonderful shock!
Hi to Cathy15, photochick and Ollie'smum nice to hear from you.
First trip to OB today. He was cool, calm and cas. Loved him. Willing to go with the flow, very low key, I can imagine him to be wonderful at the birth. And he's funny. Bonus!
I am super calm and happy at the mo. I have been a bit teary mummy nicki, but exercise has helped with that and with ms. I am hungry all the time. I can't wait for the next meal!!! Yum I think I boasted yesterday ms and fatigue were easing up? Fibs. It's all back today.
Off to Auckland for nye and wedding ect. DH told our friends we are staying with about baby and they have changed nye plans to quiet dinner party at their house instead of live band at the pub ( shudder) She has even bought fake Shiraz for me ( grape juice) and kids champagne (sparkling apple juice) so I can blend without the worry. Loving them. Officially our best friends.

[mummy nicki]

well my sandwich did NOT stay down.

however...

Tahlia the smartie pants figured out I was pregnant... She caught a glimpse of the bassinet when we picked it up yesterday and she overhead me complaining about the layer of fat this morning. She looked at me square in face as Ash snuck the bassinet in this morning and said "thats for your baby isnt it" I went what baby? The one in your tummy, im not silly I heard you this morning. OMG. lol. She was so happy and excited. She loves being apart of the secret and we let her tell her brother today in target baby. He didnt believe her at first but when I told him it was true he had a big smile. DD wants a baby sister and DS wants a baby brother. We told them we wont know until the baby is here.

Tonight, bub (nn is cashew) didnt like the satay we had for tea and I came out of the bathroom and told DH this and he made a silly funny remark and then I had to explain why you vomit when pregnant cause she realised it was the baby making me sick. She is too smart and makes connections too easily

I was sitting next to her on the couch all of us smooshed together and she put her arms around my belly and put her head down and said "hello baby". I nearly cried.
