Sleep

Just when I’m feeling totally sleep deprived and like we’re getting nowhere, Heidi has just done some fab sleeping, 7.30pm until 3am! Tried to dream feed at 10pm but she wasn’t interested. It may be a one off but at least we’re going in the right direction. Now just need…

It’s been far too long since I last posted, I’m now 35 weeks. I think the main reason for lack of posts is that it has been a pretty straightforward pregnancy so far, no major aches, pains or complications. I’ve been having four weekly scans and everything is going well…

The hospital scan and telling work

I decide to wait to tell work until the ‘official’ 12 week hospital scan, which we had yesterday. We seemed to be at the hospital ages! Upon entering the room we tell the sonographer that we already know it’s twins, he then goes on to say that we’ll only be…

The day we found out

We’d decided to have a private scan at 10 1/2 weeks. I’m a natural worrier so thought it would help put my mind at rest that everything was okay. Plus, we’d had an early scan with Oscar and it was such a lovely experience. So, there I am nervously lying…
