I went for another ante-natal yesterday and asked "when do we talk about the birth of these twins?". The mw said next time I pop along we'll draft up a birth plan, but the consultants where I am induce twins by 37 weeks. So in 13 weeks or less, all going well, I'll have 4 children!

OMG, I'm terrified!

I've kind of put off thinking about them coming along until my hubby gets another job, (he was made redundant in July and is going through agonising interview after interview and waits for replies at the moment). He's getting pretty down now and I'm worrying like crazy but trying not to show it. (Although I'm covered in a lovely bright pink nervous rash, so my body can't hide my true feelings!)

OMG, 4 children!!!!!!!!

Well 4 children's not so bad Lynie lol!!
Admittedly, i've never had 2 newborns to look after together..but i'm sure you'll be absolutely fine.
I do hope your hubby finds something soon, it will take so much pressure and stress off you both when he does.
And good luck arranging your birth plan.

Sorry? How many children was that?!

OMG! 13 weeks, that can't be true can it? It was only the other day you said you were pregnant surely!

It's a nightmare waiting for interview results, I'm keeping most things crossed that your dh will get something good soon. In the mantime, look on the bright side, at least your rash is a nice colour, not green or anything, and you have 13 more weeks of being able to sleep at night!

In all seriousness, you seem like a completely capable person. You manage to look after a whole class full of children, so 4 will seem like nothing! Imagine how weird it would be to go into school and find only 4 children sitting there... See? Hardly any is it! I know you've never had twins, but you do have a lot of experience of babies so it's not like you're going to have the massive culture shock you get first time around, and you have a loving and supportive dh, and you have us! What more could you possibly need eh?

I'm sending you a hug, but I'm not sure my arms will reach all the way around now...

How fast has your pregnancy gone!! Aww babe things have a weird way of working themselves out, you'll see. These 2 little cherubs will come along, and your dh will find a job and in 14 weeks with your feet up, and you can see your toes again, los sleeping you'll wonder what the worry was for! You'll do just great xxxx
