Last night I had to visit the doctor, and she thought I was further along than previously thought. 28 weeks infact.  I have an ultrasound next Thursday to check growth and also to see if they can narrow it down.  So now it looks like my due date is somewhere between March 24 and April 7.

I have had the nicest 2 weeks.  Although it feels like I have done alot, I actually have spent more time on the couch than anything else.  TV is very boring but I think of the good I'm doing my body and my babies.  I couldn't sleep last night.  But at least  I had a good rest. 

Yesterday I went to the big manchester sale at Target and bought some baby towels, baby flannels, sheep skin inserts etc. I'm still looking for the pram I like.  There are 2 in the running. One is $250 and one is $650.  Much as I like the expensive one, I think I'll end up going with the cheaper one.  Checking out the whole baby stuff thing is very fun but also very scary. The enormity of this has just hit me. And with it the reality that I am actually going to have 2 babies in about 3 months time.  Scary

Today is Christmas Day. Yay. I am now 25 weeks and the babies are kicking a fair bit now.  Lots more movement during the day. Its wonderful to feel.

I had a lovely morning watching Alex open his presents.  All the time thinking, next year there will be be 2 more kids under that tree. Probably not interested in the presents, but definitely sucking on the paper or something!  I'm feeling so much more secure now.  It occurred to me this morning that in 3 months or less I will have 2 wriggling, moving babies. It's really real. They are really coming.  What a wonderful realisation.

Today I am having Christmas lunch with Mum and Nana. Mum is doing roast pork and roast potatoes and roast carrots. My favourites.  Last night our plans got cancelled because Josh broke his ankle so Mum and  Nic and Damian and I had chinese dinner instead of the big extended family dinner.  It was a very nice night and probably more fun than we would have had otherwise.  Right now the house smells like roasting. Yum! It is pretty cold and I am rugged up. So much for an Aussie Christmas by the pool! So a roast lunch will be tops.

I have bought a few things for the babies but am planning to shop seriously in the after Christmas sales.  Already ads for them on the radio! I left my list behind in Alice Springs but I've started another.  Looking forward to this shopping spree. 

Happy Christmas to Everyone. Have a great New Year.  Babies coming soon!!!!! Yay!

I am now 24 weeks. It felt so weird to miss a week.  It felt like I lost it, when I really didn't.  I feel so happy to be at 24 weeks. From here on in my babies have a chance of survival if born early - which is one of my main worries at the moment.

The other thing that is bugging me considerably is that people keep telling me I'm tiny.  I guess I am.  Another pregnant girl at work is not even at 10 weeks yet and she is way bigger than me.  Mine is not even flat round. It is still like fat rolls.  The doctor assures me the babies are fine and just sitting back a bit. But it is really bugging me that everyone keeps saying I'm too small to be having twins.

Yesterday was the last day of school. I am now on 6 weeks holidays. I am supposed to go back for 3 weeks when school starts but I'm not sure I will. I can take it as sick leave anyway so I think I'll prob just lie on the couch with my legs together trying to keep them in as long as possible.  The OB said 34 weeks is the earliest they like twins to be born. 

They got someone to replace me while I'm on leave. She will be OK and as I will be writing the program, the kids should be where I want them when I return.  It is very important to me that the Transition program focusses on play based learning and continues in the spirit we have run it for the last 3 years.  Some people have a few reservations about her but I think she will be OK.  Can't worry too much about that.

Still not feeling much movement. The other day someone said "you must be feeling them move all the time now." I felt a bit dumb and didn't want to say that I barely feel them at all! Still worried but trying not to focus on this.  I go to Adelaide on Tuesday.  I'm going to get the stuff for the nursery while I'm there so that is quite exciting.
