Lol I know ! Just think though your babies will be so gorgeous and big at 20 weeks! and its only a few weeks away now! Lol I certainly know how my taxes are being used lolol! At my next appointment, next thursday the consultant said we'd talk about the birth and my choices etc. I did really want a home birth but I'm sure thats out the window lol!
Eeek 39 weeks I hope you go a bit before that, I can't even imagine how uncomfortable thats going to be!

Maternity leave in march sounds good and like you say if you need to you can go a bit earlier . I'm on sick leave for the mo ( and the doctor thinks most likely the remainder of my pregnancy ) so I think taking my maternity leave at the earliest point makes more financial sense. God being off sick is literally mind numbingly boring! I can't walk very far at the mo ( pregnancy induced asthma) I get little contractions if I move too much lol and the ligament pain is torture! I only venture out the house for hospital appointments lol! I think when the babies are here I will be outside everyday lol making up for the 8months I've been stuck indoors!

Me and Dh discussed me going back to work and decided I would be earning just a tiny bit more than it cost for the two babies to be in full time nursery lol! So I will be staying at home, while he keeps working and then next year applying to uni to do Midwifery What about you will you go back to work? It's all about money isnt it lol, half the time its not worth you going back if you have more than one child!

Hi hun!
You must be going out of your mind at home! I have started to feel like all i do is moan when i'm at work. I am still doing the same duties as before and i really don't think they realise that i find even the smallest thing an effort! It has started to kill me sitting for too long and equally i struggle to stand! I am convinced that i have the start of spd. It feels like like i have been riding a bike for about 2 weeks solid, the pain is horrid. On a plus note my sickness seems to have stopped and all i have is just nausea.

I am extremely lucky in that my mum has my daughter for 2 days a week which she won't have any money for and she has said she is more than happy to continue when the others arrive. My mil was also suppose to have her for 1 day a week meaning i went back for 3 days, however due to some changes in her work she wasn't able to. So at the minute i am using my outstanding holiday to book 1 day a week so atm i'm only working 2 days.
So i will definately be going back 2 days for some sanity!!!!
It would be a total different story though if i didn't have my mum as putting 3 into nursery would cost more money per day than i earn!
I have my midwife appointment on tuesday so am hoping to find out a little more information from her about expected due date etc...
xx
