16 weeks + 2 days

Had a midwife appointment today and heard the heart-beats again which was wonderful. The twin on my left is a little wriggler more than the one on the right and it wriggled away from the gizmo. I even felt it go.

The heart-rates were around the same about 145 beats per min. Sure I read somewhere that heart-rate indicates sex, but not sure if that is just an old wives tale.

Thrilled that all is going well so far.

Hehe I looked it up - Seems to be an old wives tale

Awww what lovely workmates you have Helen

I'm so glad Wobbs bullied you into doing a new diary

16 weeks + 5 days

Have had a great weekend so far.

Yesterday, OH and I went to the shopping centre to try and get me some more maternity clothes. When I came out of the changing room in Next OH was chatting away to another bloke who I didn't recognise. I figured he must be a workmate, until I got closer and realised he had a double-buggy complete with 7 week old twin girls. OH had been picking his brain on pram info

Spoke to my 88 year old Nana who was thrilled to hear about the babies kicking and who can't wait to see her great-grandson for the first time next weekend.

Went out last night for the first time in ages to the Italian restaurant at the bottom of the village. You can't book tables for 2 people and when we got in it was absolutely heaving and so was the bar area. I couldn't see anywhere to sit and the bar was really smoky. Thinking there was no way I could stand and wait in all that smoke, I asked the waiter if there was somewhere I could sit because I was PG. It was like setting off a bomb, suddenly he'd called over the owner and they rushed around and got me a chair, within 5 minutes they'd cleared a table for us and we'd seriously jumped the queue. Wow! Being pregnant is fantastic!

17 Weeks

It's a bit weird this pregnancy lark. Sometimes I feel mega pregnant, huge and loadsa kicking from little ones. Then other times my bump looks small, people tell me it's only small and the kicking goes quiet. I have these weird thoughts that maybe I'm not really which I know is daft, I wouldn't be getting this fat tummy otherwise.

The random crying is odd too. Had to work from home yesterday morning as had a random crying session, not entirely sure what about either. Was worried I was going blub in office. It's a bit like that PMT crying where it all seems perfectly rational but deep down you know you're being a nut job hormonal loony. OH keeps reminding me (and other people) about blubbing my eyes out at Muppet's Christmas Carol over Xmas.

Definitely feeling PG today as bump seems miles bigger today than yesterday. In fact, people were double-taking at it at work today.

Had the best moment this morning.... OH felt his first kick Can't get a smilie big enough to show how fab that was. Fantastic.

Had a lovely weekend. It was my Dad's birthday yesterday and we went over to see them. My brother, his wife and baby nephew also came down for the weekend. My Dad picked up my Nana and brought her round too so we had the full family there, it was the first time she'd seen her great-grandson... she was bowled over by him and cuddled him most of the day.... shushing anyone who made too much noise and disturbed him.

I loved cuddling him, but every now and again it's overwhelming to think we'll have two to cope with at once. We'll manage though.

My brother also gave him his first bottle to give my sis-in-law a little break. He took to it really easily and you could see how overwhelmed my brother was to feed him.

Fantastic... roll on June
