5 months old!

So the twins are now 5 months! How the time flies indeed ! It's been tough and I envy anyone with multiple births!

They sleep through the night which is finally nice, still need to wake up around 6 though! 

They both needed baby gaviscon for there feeds due to reflux poor things, but will seem them off that soon , apart from that it's just our three year old coming home from pre school with illness city!

Let me know if you have questions or thoughts!

Kept busy.....

Hello!

First of all apologies on the delay on this post ! The twins are of course born and well and we all have had a fantastic Christmas ! 

It's been extremely hard, hence the lack of blogging, the twins are 3 months old and finally sleeping through the night. The crazy 3am feeds make you feel like "am I alive?!, what is going on?!",double effort but worth it.

Our 3 year old has taken to her new siblings very well she has been amazing which has helped us lots. 

Again sorry for not blogging recently ! 

Have a happy new year :) 

Growth ...

Had another scan and twin 1 was showing as not growing 100% but they feel it may be regular scanner errors due to how regular we go for scans.

All is still well with the pregnancy and blood flow,so fingers crossed can still go as long term as possible !

My 2 year old is getting more used to the twins coming and cannot wait to help out  !

Again apologies on late updates always busy but will out info and my thoughts up as and when I can :)

Yes still here!

Apologies it's been a while ! I can say both twins are still growing very well! I think might be a few millimetres in length different but all good!

Due date is around sept 23rd at this rate... Still preparing our room and daughter for the two new arrivals ;) busy constantly. 

Stay tuned bigger updates to come ! Again apologies for long silence

Getting daughter to understand that twins are coming!

Hi all,

Over the last week or so since the gender scan we have been telling our daughter that she is going to be a big sister to a baby brother and sister!

I think she still does not fully understand what is going on but at times i feel she does and she seems excited about this.  This for me is still uncharted waters as what will it be like when they do arrive on the scene.... As a dad i really want to give as much attention to all my children and i feel with two newborns this is going to be tough.

Measures in place....

Only plan we have is to take turns on weekend taking our daughter out and having some time with her so she feels not left out, i am welcome to more suggestions!!!

Overall i think she is excited as we all are and feels she wants to help out she says "mummy has two baby's in her tummy" and " I will help feed them! " which is very sweet of her.

Thanks for reading. Blue and Pink !!

Twins gender revealed !!

Hi all!

We went for our private scan today, very nice little place.

My partner laid back on the bed both quite nervous and after the gel is applied we see our two little gems on the screen, heartbeats all in check and ok!

Then the fun part... Gender check time my face clued to the above screen...then first twin.... A Girl ! fantastic! And second was harder to find as moved in awkward position... But then I think we all saw before the sonography man was like its a boy ( we could see the testies ). 

So yes one if each! Exciting times ahead and I feel great.

Names and all sorts to plan now !

Thanks for reading.

Twins heartbeat sound check this morning!

Well lets say it was quite interesting!

We get to the doctors with our 2 year old in tow, see the midwife in her office and they explain they will do the heartbeat checks and hear both at different times, not just one loud heartbeat mix up which i thought it was going to be.

My partner lays back and more of the slime gel is pasted onto her tummy ( i have no clue for the medical word for this device) and at first it was hard to pin point the sound thinking "come on its twins!".... and everybody goes through the mild panic stage of OH MY GOD ARE THEY OK?!.. but yes they were fine and i can tell you one was at 150bpm and other was around 160bpm (one is smaller than the other aww)

So if you believe in old wife's tales it could be two girls... not bad at all! but we have booked in a gender private scan for 11th May so that is judgement day!

Thanks for reading, stay tuned.

P.S just found it its a Doppler the sound detection device!
