***December Dreamers*** 70 babies born***

[Pixxie]

Right I think they are picking up a bit so I'm going to go for a shower and tend to 'downstairs' because at the minute the midwife wont be able to see anything

No one post about this on my Facebook please, don't want to be mithered if they might go away again! xxx

Hi Nat - how are your gorgeous babes doing?

So many babies now - I want my girl!

Mizze xx

They are ok! Keeping me very busy though, Ayden is more restless than Inaya, he always wants to be held! I'm finding breastfeeding the two of them quite hard, keeping a log of times and amounts they are eating. I've been mainly expressing, and just spoke to my breastfeeding counsellor from my NCT course this morning and are going to try out a few different things. I was told by a few of the midwives too that boys generally need more holding and are lazier than girls, lol.

They are just so sweet though, just want to eat their little faces. I honestly could never have dealt with twins if my mum wasn't staying with us, i dont know how some women do it, they must be superwomen!! Your girl will be here before you know it, and this whole waiting period will seem like it never happened! xxxx

Aw its lovely to hear about how all the babies are getting on. Im really impressed you are managing to breastfeed them both Nat. I do so hope I can bf Caitlyn when she arrives. She has been having a busy morning which is nicely reasurring.

Pixxie - looks like you are next. Fingers crossed hun!!

Still in bed this morning so tired - wont be able to do that when LO is here.

Writing christmas lists this morning - have done all my Xmas cards that have to be posted now need to make sure I write all the ones to be hand delivered and get them done by Friday - the weather forecast last night showed we might finally be in for some snow etc by the end of the week! Must Must finish my shopping for our MrX christmas appeal - I got a 10yr old boy this year and im struggling for what to buy.

My parents have just gone, they've dropped off our Xmas pressies incase we don't see them beforehand and as our main present is a digital camera/camcorder as we don't have one so we can take lots of photos of madden. My dad tried jump starting my Clio for me and it's dead so need to go to halfords and get it a new battery

Up to every 7/8 minutes, just phoned the birth centre and they said it could all stop yet and to stay at home until they are every 3-4 minutes if I can! xx

And ME kerrie !!! I had my little boy too, posted yesterday !
here is my birth story : https://www.babyandbump.com/birth-s...is-daddys-bday-via-c-section.html#post8190673

 

[GoogilyBear]

ooooo pixxie i am dead excited for you eeeek all these little ones

I dont know whats up with me today.. i feel asthough i have drank bottles upon bottles of energy drink... I have so much energy all of a sudden, ive been roaming around dancing about putting more decs up, cleaning singing... what an earth lol!!!

Had some discharge that has a strange smell too.. not a nasty smell sorry for tmi, but its got an odd, buttery smell? lmao, thats the only way i can describe it lol XD


weeeeeee i really am off my rocker today and i have no idea why XD

 

[sammiwry]

Wishing lovely story and lovely pics!!

 

[wishingforbub]

Ok so i have only read about 6 pages so far out of the more that 50 i have to read LOL....
Congrats to Kerrie!! and to Kelly!! and to louise!! and to doodle !!
And Nat I hope you are having some luck with the BFing... I struggled a little only cause I thought i was doing it right but until i saw the consultant, i realised not. Yesterday my breasts were so engorged and they leaked like mad too !!! and they hurt like absolute hell!
the consultant told me to stand under a hot shower and just let the milk run out, or put diapers ( with a handful of water in it ) in the freezer and then place these on your breasts to soothe it... also that this "engorging" should not last very long as your body is just to figure out how luch milk you will need. so don't overexpress or anything as your body might think you need more !

Up to every 7/8 minutes, just phoned the birth centre and they said it could all stop yet and to stay at home until they are every 3-4 minutes if I can! xx

Ooo!!! I hope you haven't got hours and hours to wait to meet your lo!

 

[GoogilyBear]

Ive just had a strange thought...

does baby still move during labour? do you still get little kicks or does all that stop?

have no idea why thats popped into my head XD

lol. omg this outburst is driving me mad lol..

 

[Pixxie]

Yea they should keep moving googly xx

 

[GoogilyBear]

Yea they should keep moving googly xx

thanks for that, i think it might feel a little weired :s

how did your shower go, you progressed anymore?



I really am off my rocker, my mums just turned up and she said shes never seen me so active haha, sitting down just doesnt seem like an option lol XD
mum thinks ots because i am getting really close now.. well lets hope sooooo! hehehehe

 

[wishingforbub]

Mine are really bad, im taking quiet alot of painkillers but the midwife said i was trying to do too much by tidying my bedroom and putting washing on she said ive made them worse! woops

I had a section and I had some bad afterpains... when I breastfed, but only in the first two days.. they suck .. they felt like bad period cramps so I just took extra meds ! ( if that was even possible)

You ladies are saints for having 2 babies... I swear this will be my only one lol.

Oh I am the same LOL !!!!

 

[wishingforbub]

P.S I cannot read back anymore LOL.. there are too many pages !!!!LOL

 

[WILSMUM]

so exicted for you pixxie - good luck!!!!

Well I went into school today to show Ailsa off and got her dressed in a pretty girlie outfit for the first time and also she worse her new snowsuit for the first time too!! Thought I'd share some pics!!

Also had a call from mamas and papas and her rocker chair thing arrived in this morningto DH is gonna pick that up this afternoon!!! Soo excited, think shes gonna love sitting in it watching the world go by!!!

 

[sammiwry]

I'd wondered that too Googily as I thought I had the beginnings of contractions over the weekend and madden would kick after one but then go quite. So pleased to know they are meant to move during labour

 

[Pixxie]

I'm down to 5 mins apart now but midwife said that it's only just the beginning at 3-4 mins! Each peak is a little more intense than the last though which I think is good? Up to now Ive just managed to silently breathe though them but I think I might be making funny noises soon! xxx
