Sorry we're a bit late with this weeks entry, mummy was very tired the last few evenings.
we are now as big as large mangos, and are about 7" each, thats not counting our legs as they're still tucked up. We'll know our actual size in another couple of weeks when we get our picture taken again.
This week, we've started to grow hair on our heads and get eyebrows. we've also got a greasy layer over our skin to stop us getting all wrinkly like prunes whilst we cook properly. everything is now where its meant to be, we just have to get nice and big and strong. we're building up our layers of baby fat so we don't look like stick insects when we arrive, and our eyes are on the front of our heads to we'll be able to see you on skype then too.
mummy bought us a moses basket on Monday, it's got a pink sheet in it but until we have our next picture, we don't kow if it's the right colour for both, one or neither of us! it's pretty big, and daddy thinks we'll both fit in there to start with. they're going to get another one so there is somewhere safe for us to sleep in downstairs and take us out in the garden for our first few trips there.
mummy and daddy had their first parenting class on Thursday. this one was multiple pregnancies. they got to meet lots of other mummy's and daddy's who are having 2 beans and even met 2 who are having 3 beans! mummy says in all her days she has never seen such pregnant ladies, and they were both only 23 weeks along.
There was a tour of the neonatal unit, where it's quite likely we'll have to go when we're born. It shouldn't be anything to worry about, all twinnies go there because they arrive a bit early and sometimes need help with feeding, getting rid of jaundice, or sometimes with a bit of breathing until strong enough to do it.
there were lots of babies in there and all were being looked after by a gazillion nurses, that made mummy and daddy feel much happier incase we do have to stop in there for a few days.
if we arrive and everything is tip top, we won't need to go there at all and can go and stay in mummys room with her. The midwife said twin mummys get their own room, mummy is very happy about that.
back in the classroom the midwife used playmobile characters to show all the mummies and daddies what the arrival day is going to look like. because so many people are needed, the normal delivery rooms aren't big enough, so we'll all have to go into one of the theatre rooms anyway. mummy and daddy have spent the rest of the week having to explain that it doesn't mean we'll be coming by sunroof, it's just because they need the space for all the people.
so the people in there will be...mummy, daddy, 1 midwife, 1 midwifes assistant, 2 pedeatricians with 1 assistant, an aneathetist with 1 assistant, 2 surgical staff with 1 assistant, and the consultant on standby. thats 13 people in the room even before we arrive!!
there was a lady who came to talk to the class who has twin boys, she had to wait 40 minutes after her first one arrived before the second one made his entrance, mummy told us we're not to keep her waiting for that long. daddy had to drive home because the class didn't finish until 9.30pm, and that's waaaaay past mummys bed time. she was super sleepy for the next 2 days.
mummy and daddy went shopping on Saturday, mummy really needs a new coat as we're making all the coats she's got too small, and mummy says it's colder than a witches tit here at the moment. we're nice and warm so we don't want to get as cold as one of those as it doesn't sound very nice. Anyway, she didn't have much luck, the last one she tried on made her say some rude words about the fact that not all pregnant women had stumps for arms and was she meant to effing well freeze from the elbows down or what?? Daddy took her for a nice coffee to make her happy again, we like mummys nice coffees.
mummy did however manage to get some lovely maternity pj's, as whilst she loves the jammies daddy bought her for christmas, they are just getting too tight. it makes mummys sleeping a bit rubbish and she doesn't want to burst the seams of her christmas jammies. so here is a picture of mummy in her new pj's...
she wore them to bed last night and said they were super comfy, and it was a shame she couldn't wear them to work!
ha, ha!! mummy just swore when she saw this picture a bit bigger than it is on her phone. mummy and daddy just realised that there is less than half a doorway left!!!
mummy did find a really comfortable chair on saturday afternoon and asked the lady to please let her know if they're ever getting rid of it as she'd buy it. the lady thinks mummy is a funny mad woman as the chair was the one at the hairdressers in front of the sinks! mummy has been swishing her hair the rest of the weekend and is pleased her fringe isn't getting caught in her eyes every time she blinks.
Sunday morning... mummy and daddy got up nice and early and went to the cinema to see Paul. they had the whole place to themselves and they laughed lots and lots. mummy laughed so much it made her tummy shake and made us bounce around a bit. we didn't mind because we were already awake. we like it when mummy laughs, we hope we'll make her and daddy laugh lots.
daddy is still singing to us, and chats to us lots, we like that too, we wiggle around so he knows we can hear him, it's not making mummy so sick now though.
so thats it for this week.
we hope you're having fun and enjoying your new job.
lots of love
from
The Beans
