Twin Prenatal Classes here we come

We started our multiples prenatal classes tonight. They will run for 3 Wednesday's in Dec and 3 in January. Classes are 2 1/2 hrs long, and the chairs are so uncomfy...

The good thing is that the instructor has twins of her own, and she is a L&D nurse at the hospital where we will be delivering.

We learnt a lot in the first class...
Stats on twins, stats on natural births and c-sections. Watched a couple of movies. Learnt that if we need to get up in the middle of the night because of hunger, it's perfectly alright (Phew). Learnt that b/w 40-50 lbs weight gain is good. Because twins often can come early, the more we gain the healthier the babies should be. Learnt that most of the women in the group (and multiples mothers) have a hard time feeling the babies move. She said it's because the babies are smaller and are sometimes harder to feel than a single. She said that the first 3 months is tough (which we already knew)...So much to learn

DH and I really want to learn about contractions, and the labour details (water breaking, contractions, losing the plug, etc).

Not much time now...We will be 24 weeks this week and time is sure flying.

Wish I could say the worry isn't there anymore, but it is...Every leakage I feel, every pain I get...Thank god for the monthly u/s and monthly OB appts.

Been buying some baby clothes only because the were on sale. $4 instead of $20, can't beat that.
Last big purchase will come at xmas which will be the car seats.

Will post pictures this week, I promise....

XOXO
