32 weeks!! Yippee.

I am so excited to have reached the 32 week mark. Especially as i haven't had any complications or dramas so far (touch wood!) Now I just need to get another 2 weeks further along and I will stress less. At Box Hill Hospital, they don't have the facilities to look after babies born earlier than 34 weeks and i really couldn't handle being away from them for so long. So hang in there you two!!!!

Here is a belly shot taken on Saturday before we went to a wedding. I was 31.4wks.



We are all settled into our new house now. It is so wonderful. I LOVE it here!! It really feels like a family home and i love waking up to beautiful views and birds singing lol. Not something you ever get when you live on a highway PMSL.

I received my Tupperware on the weekend and I am so in love. I have set up some of my pantry and am now just hanging out ch nicer now. Plus I got a set of microwave/freezer safe containers of all sizes so i can get some meals prepared and frozen for when i get home from hospital and can't be bothered cooking.

Today Coban & I went to Eastland and got some stuff for my hospital bag. I got 2 maternity bras from Myer for a steal. I got an Elle McPherson one for $20 (RRP $54.95) and a Berlie one for $15. I already have an Elle McPherson one from last pregnancy and i LOVE it so i'm glad i was able to get a new one. I also got a travel size set of Clinique's 3 Step skin care to take to hospital and finally found myself a top to wear in hospital. It buttons down a fair way so i can breastfeed easily. And i will probably just wear my PJ pants or tracky pants as well. I think because i will be in for longer this time, I'd like to be in comfy clothes rather than PJ's and a dressing gown all the time. Yeah so, my hospital bag is ready to go. I just have to remember to grab my camera & dressing gown before we leave.

We have been so lucky with this pregnancy so far. Not just because of having no complications and everything running smoothly, but also because we have been given SO much stuff by friends and family. We have a HUGE amount of clothes now from size 0000 to size 1. I don't really have any ooooo clothes but if we need them, i'm sure we'll get them.
We are going to pick up 2 cots sometime soon. I can't wait! We were given these cots plus 2 highchairs, a bouncer, a jolly jumper, 5 huge bag of clothes, blankets and a Twins book all from one lady off EB. And all for free. I just couldn't believe my luck. We have also received cot sheets, blankets and toys from some family members so we are just feeling so grateful atm. Just have to buy new car seats and a pram.

There has to be more to talk about but i just can't concentrate at the moment. So i'll finish up here. Hopefully i won't take so long to post again.

Ange you look gorgeous sweetheart! I can't believe you are at 32 weeks already. My girls were born at 31.6 weeks so you have beat me already LOL.

I know you are probably feeling a bit overwhelmed at the thought of coping when you get home. Try not to let that worry you - what will be will be....heaps and heaps of us have coped with two little bubbas and you will be a perfect mum to them. You know that you can ask me, MOT, Zebette, Nee absolutely anything! I bet with all our experiences we pretty much have all situations covered LMAO.

If only we lived nearer i could have given you all my gear too :(

You are looking fabulous also! I can't believe that little ball is your pg tummy! I would love to show you my photo of my tummy at about the same time - LOL funny!

ttyl chicken *mwah*

oh oh and about the car seats - we got two safe and sound ones called compacq. The are narrower than normal ones - have all the good safety features as the wider ones but are a bit smaller (good for premmies and good to fit in back seats - particularly if you have more kids than just the twins) My girls were in these until they were about 3 1/2 - so are still big enough to fit bigger bums.

just my thoughts anyways.

*mwah again*

Ummmmm.....where is that huge pregnant butt that you are supposed to have? Or is that just me ;)

Ang, you look fantastic - I can't believe you are 32 weeks already!! I'm guessing that you kinda hope it's not long now, but at the same time, you can wait (if that makes sense?). Can't wait to see photos of your gorgeous babies!!
