We're not sure if the photo is of D1 or D2 (please excuse the unimaginative temporary names - we're too busy thinking of the real ones!) but by 12 weeks it had certainly grown lots. Unfortunately, we weren't able to get a good photo to take home but there were definitely two little bubs with two little faces, twenty little fingers and lots of toes, although we couldn't count them. Both D1 and D2 seemed pretty happy where they were and were dancing around having lots of fun.Isabella doesn't really know what's going on (and would probably choose to ignore it if she knew!) but perhaps subconsciously she's on to it as she's taken a fancy to blowing raspberries on my tummy. Just sending them a little message about who's the boss!
We're busy thinking of all the things we need to get ready for two little bubs. We have hired a maid who starts in late September (inshallah!) as long as her visa can be processed in time. Definitely looking forward to having her on board as I thought we might lose her when she heard the bit about two babies. We've just had Isabella's room and the "formerly designated to be the guest" room repainted and are trying to work out the logistics of still keeping a dedicated guest room in the house. Luckily the rooms are big and will easily fit a queen size bed and a couple of cots. We'll then just have to do a bit of shuffling when we actually have guests.
I have been feeling well although extremely tired. Feel quite guilty about how well I have been when I chat to my friends who are also pregnant have been suffering terribly from morning (and all through the day) sickness. Still, they'll get the last laugh when I'm sitting there in the middle of the night trying to feed and settle two babies.
