Awh twin congratulations and what a wonderful scan shot !!! Well done for staying strong too . From the scan I'm guessing your in the little prince club xxxxxxx

 

[twinmummy06]

Thank you LW!
I think this is my first ever ultrasound pic that actually looks like a baby. The tech usually seems to give me the dodgiest ones she can muster

 

[xxDreamxx]

Cute pics so glad to see them!

 

[twinmummy06]

Hope everyone is keeping well? Not much to report from my end other than time seems to be dragging and seems like a lifetime away from my 20 week scan it's not until 26th November, so another 6 weeks to go! Not that I'm counting or anything x

 

[c.m.c]

Tickle mine is 19th nov for my 20 week scan....feels like ages too

 

[Left wonderin]

Well I've my GD test on the 25th , hoping its one test I pass with flying colours !!!!
Time will fly to your scans can't believe how quickly time has gone watching your pgs progress !! Looking in from the outside time always seems to move faster. !!!!!

4 more sleeps till my scan I hope baby has his/her legs wide open....cos I want to know. My pram colour choice depends on it

 

[Helena_]

what colors are you going with for each gender? link us!

 

[xxDreamxx]

I still like this pram & would go for the blue or raspberry or maybe lime

[Helena_]

oh god I want the raspberry so so so much. the lime is awesome too! You guys have the best strollers. I know we can get them here, but I think they're usually more. Plus we seem to have cheaper options, so people usually just go with those.

 

[Helena_]

the raspberry with the lime seat cover would look amazing

 

[xxDreamxx]

Yeah it would.... I was a bit concerned that the wheels might not be hard wearing but I just love the pram so much... I am pretty sure this is the one we will go for

 

[c.m.c]

That's gorgeous dream..

Helena I personally think the US know how to make good prams.

The only fault with alot of UK prams s that the hoods don't come down enough and LO ends up blinded by the sun!, lets face it those umbrellas are shite but the US prams like the city jogger have hoods that can arch right in front do baby don't blinded by the sun!.....something I didn't notice about my Icandy till LO was about 8 months


I bought a hood to attach over my Icandy hood. With the Icandy when you're reclining baby, the entire seat lies back rather than just releasing the back of the seat, meaning the hood reclined with the seat, so my LO had no sun protection whatsoever, the hood in the Icandy peach is a little better but the peach seat is tiny and would never do a baby over a year old


Some of the American prams I saw in a local shop were amazing, extending hoods and big off road wheels (just a nightmare to get into the car)

 

[Left wonderin]

Dream I love the Rasberry ! But the blue would be my second choice ! 4 more sleeps wahoooo how exciting here is hoping for wide open little legs !!!

AFM last two night new symptom appearing " LEG CRAMPS " oooooooch !!! Two nights I've woken with them . They don't last long but boy are they sore !!!

 

[c.m.c]

O my god lw I forgot about leg cramps......ouch....I hope they don't last long and stop very soon!!

ah I didn't that about your strollers. The b agile sunshade comes down so far, I'm amazed! Generally, the types of strollers people get have crappy sunshades that really dont do anything. they're the cheap stroller that are huge and ugly, though. I guess we actually have very similar strollers here, but because we also have SO many cheaper options, it seems silly to spend almost a grand on one. Even if it is really tempting. I guess you guys would also have cheaper options, but I always see people getting the more expensive ones (including those in teen pregnancy. while this isn't necessarily true, I would imagine they have a much lower income then say someone older). so I always just assumed that those are really the only options for you guys. I think it's just not as common (it's getting there, though) to see someone walking around with a stroller that cost almost as much as a car. It's also not necessary in most places since most people drive.


my stroller came today and I'm in love!

 

[Left wonderin]

Helena your so right they cost a bomb !!!! I don't have to worry about it as I'm having one donated by sil which is almost brand new but not to worry there is lots more shopping to do )))

So have you a photo of your stroller ? What colour ??

Hi guys,

I again dissapeared from the face of the earth, didn't I! Well, I've got a horrible flu and the only thing I do these days is sleep, sleep and more sleep. I wake up at meal times, try to swallow some pieces, then go back to sleep!!!

I'm so afraid to take any medication which makes it even more difficult. I drink warm milk with honey and linden tea. Hope they are helping!

Sorry, it's impossible for me to write personalized messages to each of you. But I hope you're all fine.

Just one suggestion for those having leg cramps (if they are at the back of your lower leg): when you wake up with the pain, instantly stretch your leg flat and pull up your toes. I don't know the mechanism but the pain goes in seconds. I used to have lots of cramps when I was younger and when I learned this trick, it made my day -or more accurately night

Hope to join back soon...
