I'm loving being a mummy❀

I can walk now which is nice, lol, though my nipples are slightly sore! Invest in some good nipple balm! It is worth its weight in gold!

The best bit we've had so far is waking up at 3am, watching the sun rise, listening to the birds waking up, while I'm feeding her - its a lovely feeling. 😍 that and I'm 3lbs lighter than before I was pregnant and back in my normal jeans! πŸ˜† xxx

Awwww I'm so happy for you chick. And lucky you! Mind you saying that, because I've lost so much weight still at nearly 17 weeks I'm still fitting into mine with a wee bit of room! Woooo lol 😊😊😊 keep us all posted chuck, it's lovely following people's journeys 😊

I had horrendous morning sickness up to 20 weeks so that's probably how ive done it, and it sounds like you might be similar! 😊

Definitely, and the fact that I haven't been able to eat an adult sized portion of food all the way through up until a couple of days ago.... Oh noooooooo it's down hill from now lol

No, you're nearly half way there! πŸ™Š its so exciting! Have you felt them move yet? They won't be regular movements for another few weeks but I felt the occasional flutter around 16 weeks. 😊 once I got to 20 weeks I had a few weeks of feeling amazing before the next wave of tiredness kicked in. Lol.

There are meant to be twins due from my generation but didn't happen this time. X

I think I've felt a few little movements, I felt what felt like somebody running their finger down the side of my belly button yesterday which was a bit funky feeling. I just can't to feel them all the time! And for the other half to see my belly move.

Awww! Two little babas! My Niamh wriggled so much in the last few weeks I got motion sickness! Lol.

I never really massively noticed my bump move when she did, it had to be pretty big movements, but with two in there you'll probably see loads! 😍 xxx

Completenewbie in reply to LottyB

Oh wow! That's a hell of a load of wriggling lol

ill have to try and capture the movements of they happen and see if I can post them on here. I've seen some crazy photos of people with tiny tiny bump just going mental with movement. I think I need to see this lol obviously they need to have some strength cause they've gotta show through my mummy blubber first lol

Ive got mummy blubber too! I was a size 16 to 18 before being pregnant and am now happily a 16, so being overweight and pregnant worked in my favour! I'm lighter and fractionally thinner, and back in my pre pregnancy clothes already! I can't wait to see your bump move! 😍 x

Hope all went well at scan CompleteNewbie? Also that u r still as excited about twins!! πŸ˜€ My Mum is non-identical twin, so myself & sister both worried b4 scans there would be two babies. She now has 7 month old son & I have 2 month (nearly) son too. Both so glad we didn't have two to wash, change, feed & dress πŸ˜€ spent a fortune on nappies & wipes as it is!! Wishing you good luck.

Ahhhh I tell ha, it was a shock at first and we couldn't stop giggling, but when your rain gets used to the idea.... It's like WOW! You start to feel a little bit privileged that you have the honour of carrying two at once. And I tell ha the scans are awesome! Obviously I can imagine a single baby is pretty special too but wow, when you see them dancing together, and taking it in turns to stretch and turn around and ahhhhh its just awesome! Obviously I've done the whole worrying about having 2 and the financial side and the physical side to it all but he'll it's gunna be amazing. I was in mamas and papas yesterday for a quick nosey round at what I like (and then a swift trip home to find it all on eBay!) and there were 2 identical twin boys causing mischief in there! They were far too cool.... To say I'm looking forward to them being here in an understatement I think πŸ˜„πŸ˜„πŸ˜„πŸ˜„πŸ˜„πŸ˜„
