  • Pea and Pod at almost 18 weeks - eek where is the time going!

    Hey guys

    Have not been on in must be at least 2 weeks and just dont know where the time has gone to be honest. I have been busy trying to clear the spare room so the babies have somewhere to sleep once they arrive. It frightening to think that they could be here is just over 3 months time but at the most 4 - 4 1/2 months time! eeeeeeeeek!!!!

    We had a garage sale at the weekend, part of a whole village sale, which was quite successful raising us £150 for the twin fund and clearing some garage space and craft stuff to boot. Three car loads of tutt went to the dump the day after and several bags to charity shops, courtesy of my parents, who came up, like Mr D's parents, to help for the weekend. Its funny how I have rebelled a little this week - letting the housework slide as its such a relief not to HAVE to have the house tidy for visitors LOL!!!

    I have been far too busy of course - you know me and its given me some worrying hours as I await a sign from inside my now huge belly that they are literally alive and kicking. I am sure I will laugh at this in a few months time when they are kicking the hell out of me and I will be doing all I can to lull them to sleep so I get a bit of peace! LOL!! I havent had time to get on-line and worry that this is going to be a regular occurance and so have asked the mods for some help with the pass the parcel seed swap as I feel I am letting people down through my lack of attention to it. I am sure Zazen will advise once something is in place.

    Planting is so very very behind. I can tell this as during a spate of potting on yesterday, I was really struggling to find plant pots and even more so, trays to use as carrying recepticles from greenhouse to coldframe in a week or so's time. I was hoping to get some freed up this weekend as we plant stuff out but Mr D has been offered some overtime, which we cannot afford to turn down and its a family party on Sunday so bang goes that idea. You never know I may end up having to ask if any local grapes can come to our resue with a "planting party" if we dont get some plants in soon!!! Mind you I am sure you are all busy with your own plantings out if I know you guys - may have to employ some kids from the school instead!!!!!!!

    I am having to pull out of the Wellingborough carnival (my craft group is meant to host the craft marquee beginning of July) partly due to lack of bookings but also because the lady in charge of the event at the council has suddenly advised that she needs me to do a risk assesment (A WHAT?!!!), as well as provide a copy of our public liabilty insurance (dont have this as never needed it) AND advising she hasnt booked me a marquee like she agreed she would!!!!!!!! Well since we needed neither last year its a bit late to be asking for it now eh! I have decided I have enough on my plate without the extra workload that organising all that would involve with only 8 weeks or so to go. I am also very thin on bookings - mind you doesnt help that the council web site doesnt even mention the craft marquee!

    Thats all for now.

    Lots of love, and growing wishes

        Just a quick reply,as like you I have one hundred and one things to do, but I just wanted to say how good it was to hear from you and that all is going well. If you feel huge now, just you wait ! My OH took a photo of me in my bikini the day before I went into hosp to be induced with my two, and it is possibly the most alarming and embarrassing pic ever ! You do wonderhow you ever regained normal size afterwards.

        Wasn't sure whether your comment about the marquee was for your stall or just for you, owing to your expanding figure

        Now, just tell yourself to calm down a bit missus, you do sound as though you are doing a bit too much, we don't want Pea & Pod making a too-hasty entrance into the world. The longer they are in there the better for all concerned, and although they will appear when they feel like it, and possibly very early, if you rush about too much they might decide to hasten it on. I made it to 38 weeks, but know lots of twins mum's whose babes came much sooner than that. So slow down Tammy, that's an order!!

        Better go now, but you take great care of the three of you x
        Life is brief and very fragile, do that which makes you happy.

            Tammy, I don't know how you can feel you were letting people down over pass-the-parcel, heavens you carried the project! Time to chill, leave the planting. This time next year you will have a couple of extra helpers and you can plant extra to make up for this year.

                Take it easy! (I'm the opposite of you - I now find it hard to get worked up over anything - comes with age I think!)

                  Wow Tammy, it's all so exciting (though a bit nerve wracking for you, I bet!).

                  I'm with Fiona on this - stuff absolutely everything else for the next few months. I can absolutely guarantee that your house, garden, crafts and (most of all )friends will still be here once the twins are born
                  I was feeling part of the scenery
                  I walked right out of the machinery
                  My heart going boom boom boom

                    Stop flapping Pass the Parcel is well in hand, Andrea's already got it sorted And everything else - just do what you can and enjoy it, if it's turning into a stress then you're doing too much
                    Take care hun xxx

                      Good to hear from you Tammy & glad everything is going well. Take it easy, it's probably a godsend that you've had to turn down the craft event as you'd have only been getting yourself worked up with worry about it. The 'clearance' sale sounds like it was a big success, the babies should have plenty of room after you shifted all that lot!

                          and don't forget to stuff yourself with anything you fancy. You can always say that it's extra baby weight

                          So glad to hear that you are OK, I was wondering

                            Glad to hear you're doing well! Pity you're not still in Enfield otherwise I'd definately help. Enjoy it while they're still not playing football with your kidneys!

                              Hi Tammy
                              Lovely to hear how the three are you are getting on.
                              Sounds like youve had a good couple of weeks, with lots going on. I do hope that you take it easy and don't overdo it. (Says a non child person who knows b****r all about having a baby, let alone two!) but if I were you, I'd just put my feet up and let everyone else get on with it all for you. . If we lived closer I'd come and help you with your plants (probably kill them all, but its the thought that counts!)
                              Do take care chuck, and let us know all your news, any news, no news, at regular intervals.
                              Here endeth the nagging session!
                              Love pea and pods "self appointed, unofficial Auntie Bernie" aka Bernie and Dexter the dog (whos watching the one show for some unknown reason - Dexter not me!)
                              Bernie aka DDL

                              Appreciate the little things in life because one day you will realise they are the big things
