Well I do sometimes forget how old I actually am!! I feel so much younger, know what my mum meant now when she said your body gets older but your mind stays 18 forever!

We live in Honley, near Holmfirth, it's a nice little place but quite a long way out of town. I had both my babies in Hudds Royal Infirmary which is in Lindley, but that's about the only place I know up there! Did you ever live in Hudds?

Lo's always look so angelic in the baby photos don't they? Think I'll take a few of them screaming, just so I don't forget!

How are you finding being pregnant and having a little one? It was hard work for me but so worth it now I have both my girls together!

i know holmfirth, its nice there, my gma n gdad used to take me and my sister there and we fed the ducks on the river and had dinner in a cafe and what have ya, it was nice.

iv never lived in huddersfield, iv always lived in mirfield and dewsbury, think if my mum had had her way we would have lived in huddersfield tho!!

how old are your girls? it is hard work, esp now im nearing the end, its hard work just taking my dd up the stairs to bed, i get out of breath so easily, but like ya say, the hard work will defo be worth every min!

Hope everyone is well

Shel x

Aw I used to love feeding the ducks too!

There's just 12 months between my girls- Lily-Mae is nearly 15 months and Evie Rose is 10 weeks. They get on so well to say they're so little, it's great! Lily's always kissing Evie and trying to play with her, so sweet.

I really struggled towards the end of preg cos I was huuuuge! Could barely sit Lily on my knee or get upstairs with her. But second time round I recovered much quicker after the birth and was so happy when I could play with Lily properly and give her cuddles again!

What age gap will your 2 have? It'll probably be really good for them growing up as they'll be really close. Hope you're feeling well.

Hi there i'm going to be 20 in 2 weeks. I have a 7 month old and I live in Hull.

Its quite stressing been a mum especially with an unsupportive husband not caring and giving no care for my feelings. So I og to my mums once a week for a break but no more cos I dont wana act asthough i'm happy too much when im not

hiya leanne, sorry to here your not gettin the support you should be, im fortunate in that my oh is great with my dd and with me! if your really that unhappy should you be together?hope it gets better for ya!

Hiya lea77, Your two dd's sounds so cute! my dd will be 1 on the 1st sept and baby is due on the 14th sept but is breech at the moment so maybe coming early! so there will be just a year in between my two.

It is hard work, im nearly 32 weeks tho so not long left, plus my oh helps out loads which takes the strain off me :)

how are you finding it, having two so close in age, apart from all the cute kisses! heehee. People say to me that im brave having two so close together, but we wanted it this way so that they can grow up together, was yours planned?

Shel x

Well I did want a small age gap but no Evie wasn't planned! It was a huge shock as I'd been feeling like I wanted another and even sayin it'd be great to have them a year apart, but when I found out I was pregnant again I felt so overwhelmed and thought I'd never cope.

Having the two of them is amazing. There's the odd day where things get hectic and they both need stuff at same time but mostly I've found everything easier this time around and it's not much more work. Plus I'm lucky to have a great husband who helps me so much with them. The only thing I find difficult at times is getting out of the house- end up with one ready to go then the other needs changing etc by which time there's not enough time to get where I was going!

Hope your baby decides to turn around for you soon! I had the opposite problem with Evie, she was head down and engaged from about 36 weeks, mw kept saying I'd go into early labour if I wasn't careful. Of course she ended up being 2 days late! Which hospital will you be going to? Is there one in Dewsbury?

Leanne- sounds like you're in a difficult situation hun, have you told your oh how you feel?

well you've certainly eased my worries a little, thanks! i am stressing that i wont be able to cope! Chloe our dd wasn't planned, but this one was as it seemed like the best idea we had had, but now its getting closer im starting to panic a little, like "arg what if i cant cope!!!!!" but im sure i will, well i have no choice!heeehee, but like i said my oh is excellent and helps out the best he can as well as working full time and my mum and dad are there if we need extra help, esp if i have to have a section.

Got midwife in half an hour so will find out then! infact, i best go get ready!

Hope all is well

Shel x

How did you get on with the midwife hun? Hope baby is okay, any signs that she's turning?

Don't worry about coping with 2 lo's, I'm sure if I can manage anyone can! Had months of comments like 'how are you going to cope?' which sort of wore me down a bit but thankfully I settled right into it straight away. Think it helps that Evie is so laid back as well, Lily was the total opposite!

We were other way round to you, we planned our first baby (well, decided we'd just see what happened) and I fell pregnant within the first month was so shocked! And then with Evie it just happened after one accident. But it's the best thing that's ever happened to me!

I'm suffering today as went out drinking last night. First time since I found out I was pregnant in Aug 2006! So it's been nearly 2 years, no wonder I've got an awful hangover today! Was great fun and think I'm happier to get back to babies and hubby after a bit of time for myself.

Hope you're all well.

hiya,

everything went fine at midwife, baby is fine, still breech tho!!! midwife said she thinks it may be bc i had an emergancy c-section last time and might have some scar tissue or something, so no sign of turning yet!going again in two weeks.

everyone says im crazy too, and how on earth will i cope, its like "thanks everyone for having so much faith in me!"lol, i know it will be hard but i also know it will be very very worth it wen i have my two little girls too!

hangovers are never good at the best of times, never mind with two kiddies to look after, i bet your having loads of fun! lol, like you i aint been out and got drunk since 2006! but im not bothered, not much for going out to be honest.just once every blue moon is fine by me,i can imagine when i have a drink only needing one o two to be on my arse!lol

hope you recover fast!

Shel x

Haha, I felt drunk after first glass of wine! Was good fun but I won't be doing it every week, I'm not one for going out all the time- did all that while I was at uni!

Glad you and bubs are okay. Will you be upset if you end up with another section or don't you mind? My auntie had emergency c-sec with her first baby and tried again to have her second vaginally but ended up with another section. Think she was glad she'd tried though.

How's your little girl doing? Do you think she realizes that there's something different about you? Lily never even took any notice of my belly, even though it was constantly in her way when I picked her up!

We're going on hols in the morning, just to Bridlington for 5 days but it'l be so nice to have a change of scene! Hope to catch up with you when I get back. Take care.

yeah i know what you been bout going out drinking, im only 21 and its like "been there done that" its always nice to get dressed up and go out every now and then tho, keeps us sane!

i dont mind if i have to have another section, i believe in fate so if i have to have one then there will be a very good reason and it will be for the best im sure :)

The midwife seems to think its coz i have a small pelvis but they cant say for sure so who knows!

Chloe (my dd) is fine thanks, think she has started with a bit of cold this morning off daddy but she dont seem to mind!She's cruising on the furniture alot now and were trying to encourage her to walk. Is your little girl walking?I dont think she notices my belly really, altho she has noticed my belly button sticking out and she prods it in amazement!lol

Wish we were off on holiday! brid is better then no where at all! hope you have a fab time, and speak to you when ya get back

Shel x

Oh lol at Chloe prodding your belly button! Hope she's getting over her cold now. Both mine have the sniffles at the mo. How's Chloe getting on with the walking? Lily was crusing for ages and she started walking not long after her first birthday, can't stop her now! It's so sweet watching her stomping around.

We had a great holiday thanks! We stayed in a caravan, was quite nice but small bedrooms so Lily ended up sleeping in a big bed (she did really well and didn't fall out or anything) then we had to let Evie sleep in the wardrobe! There was no space for her carrycot so we had to put it in wardrobe! Don't worry, we left the doors open and she slept like an angel! Weather was gorgeous as well, even managed to get a slight tan so I'm just pale rather than neon white now haha.

Hope you're doing okay and not feeling too tired. Are you all ready for the birth? I felt so awful leaving Lily when I went into labour I was nearly crying. Thankfully Evie was born quickly and mother inlaw brought Lily in to see us soon after. It was so lovely the first time I had them both together

Hiya. Sounds like you had a great holiday, with baby in the wardrobe and everything heehee, caravans are really tiny tho! And bless Evie in her own proper bed! bet you were so proud!

Chloe is still cruising round the furniture, i keep thinking "any day now" She will be 11months on friday, i cant believe time has passed so quick!

I am all ready for the birth, counting down the days if im honest, but i know it will soon be here, im 33weeks today.

Chloe's cold didnt last long, just a day or two, how are your two?did they enjoy their holiday?i bet they did! :)
