We have steps up to our front door (about 6 steps) but I leave the pushchairs in the cars when I can. I expect with the Pear you would take each bit in seperate - so take the baby with the carrycot, then the stroller seat, then the chassis, so it could be a few trips if you've got stopping too. But I guess that would be the same with most doubles really? If you could get a lightweight one too that would be great 
i dont know whether i'm more excited about a night out or a lie in the next day 
It was lovely to meet up with one of the girls i was in my last set of antenatal classes with, and postnatal too. Her daughter is 3 weeks older than Roh and she's due 3 weeks before me, so identical age gaps. We lost touch when my phone died last year, so very nice to see her and catch up! Also bumped into an old old friend i haven't seen for about 4 years on my way to town! She was like OOH BUMP! and i just laughed and said it was the second one she's moved back here to just down the road, so will be good to catch up with her too. Plus she's a pediatrician, handy! Christ its knackered me out though! 
I remember buying big pants when I was pregnant, and then thinking how amazingly comfy they were All my shoes had at least a two inch heel. Then when I got pregnant Steve bought me flat boots, Uggs and some flat shoes - so I didn't tipple over in heels - and I've still not really gone back to wearing heels. I have some boots with a two inch heel which I sometimes where - but not if I've got Oliver on my own, then I wear flats, I just don't feel safe carrying Oliver in heels. Maybe i'll be able to wear them again when he's about ten 
When we got back to the car we were five mins over and the traffic warden was stood next to it - he just said 'is this your car? You know your tickets expired?' So Steve said oh I'm really sorry, lost track of time etc and the traffic warden just said don't worry about it, just don't do it again! 
So they aren't all bad Aften that we went to Laura Ashley as I'd seen a key hook I wanted. Well I had to order it in but it was half price, and they had the discontinued coats one to match for half price too Then they also had the coffee table we've been wanting for half price and a little side table to match with 70% off because it was ex display! So we ended up ordering those too, so a pretty expensive trip for a key hook
This is such a pain, I don't know what to do, as it means I'm basically stuck in the house unless OH is around 
it is pretty painful though, oh well, onlky a few more weeks to go, sure I'll cope for a while.
My legs just wouldn't move, it was horrible, I thought Steve was going to have to pick me up and carry me Apparently in that situation you can walk backwards but not forwards 
Did your Dr refer you for Physio? Not that it did me a whole lot of good, but I got a support belt which was pretty good. SPD is horrid though, putting your knickers on becomes the most painful thing ever! Did you have it last time?
ergh, this sort of thing is my worst nightmare. I never had it last time, and I've been fine this time up to a couple of weeks ago. OH is really annoyed as he thinks its been caused by my work making me carry on with the heavy lifting for so long. Don't know if he's right or not.
for your Emera, its no fun but when you know what makes it worse / sets it off it does get a bit easier IYKWIM. And more or less as soon as Oliver was born it went away! I just had the odd twinge every now and then for a few months. Its just to Somerset (not that far from you Emera!) for a week in April. My parents are going too as it's my Dad's 60th, we're going to have a day at Longleat, and it looks like there is loads of other things to do around there - including a steam train for Oliver Yay!
i'm sure he'll be on the mend soon. thing is he's staying with MIL instead of my mum in the end tomorrow night (d and e staying with my mum instead) and MIL will not let him CIO so i hope that things are not awful on saturday night after i get him back! i'm just hoping it's not too plain and boring as it's knee length and just normal material, green at the top with a black wrap over skirt and a blue sash/belt. i am going to dress it up with heels (i hope i can squish me feet into them! ) at least it's the sort of dress i can use again.
Bet Oliver will love it! Plus trains are always a winner! Hah, if you end up with a free day you should come over to Bristol and meet the baby! 
OH has inflated my exercise ball this evening, i imagine sitting on that will help. Roh is going to think its the best thing ever though! He's the best, i'm going to insist to see him everytime! I only really went as Roh has a funny rash, which i thought was impetigo as its going round at playgroup. Turns out its a coincidence, and its just an eczema flair up Anyway, he checked Roh out and i asked for more Gaviscon 
dance and he immediately said "you look in pain" and checked my pelvis etc. I was planning to ask him about it, but it was nice to see he was checking. He also then looked at my OH and said, "is your eczema bothering you?" and pointed at OH's hands, which as usual he had halfway up his sleeves to hide them. Eagle eyed my doctor is! He had a look and said that OH's hands are actually infected and need treating (he drives me nuts itching constantly and complaining, but never doing anything about it at all, his hands are awful, all cracked and bleeding most the time, and he just puts a bit of moisturiser on now and then and ignores it) so hurrah, OH finally has some anti-biotic cream and proper moisturiser. If this sorts his hands out i swear i'm sending my doctor a fruit basket or something!!! So, very successful doctors trip, everyone got fixed up
