Goodbye 28!
Hello 29!
Another week behind me and I’m feeling ready to take on number 29. My contractions have almost completely settled down so I’m left wondering what is going on and when my boys might come. It’s hard not having any idea but I’m trying to stay as relaxed about it as possible. Obviously the longer I can keep them cooking the better! Stats of 30-32 week babies are hugely increased and their time in NICU greatly decreased. Keep your fingers crossed.
Thank you for all the encouraging comments, I’m sorry I haven't been answering them individually, it’s a bit of a struggle now.
Oh my days! Well done you!

hi emma, ive been following your blog and meaning to get in touch for a while. i work with a friend of yours-and you have become the topic of much office conversation! we are all full of wonder and very excited about what is ahead for you...its quite a journey you are on.
ReplyDeleteits been great to be able to follow your pregnancy-for some reason i felt quite emotional reading your last entry. your bump is looking truly startling! i showed my 10year old who just said 'flip!'
i have twins and have a similar sequence of growing bump shots, but nothing to compare to yours!
i had my twins when my oldest son was 2, almost 3 -perhaps similar to luke? i remember feeling anxious all through the pregnancy about how my adored and indulged little boy would ever cope with 2 babies, but he loved it. i think he was ready for more independence anyway and found it all a great adventure! (was probably a relief to get some space from his doting parents..)
so my twins (boy, girl) are 7 now and i still feel amazed and blessed , like its the cleverest thing ive ever done...so can only imagine how you must feel-you are amazing!
im very much keeping you in mind and sending good wishes
hang in there!
love, lisa x
You're still there... amazing. At this rate you may bypass NICU and go straight to SCBU! Xx
ReplyDeleteWoohoo, congratulations on reaching week 29! I've been following your blog since I saw a link to it on Mumsnet. It's a fascinating read and I'm so looking forward to seeing the first photos of your amazing baby boys :) Hopefully not until 30-something weeks gestation of course! Best of luck with it all :)
ReplyDeleteI check your diary with interest and amazement. I'm Lucy's mummy and grandma to their beautiful twins! Every day is a bonus for you and your babies. We'll wait with anticipation for the good news, but not just yet! Best wishes, Jenny
ReplyDeleteI found your blog through a friend and have caught up with the full diary over the past few weeks. My goodness, you're doing so amazingly well! Hang on in there a bit longer baby boys, the world will be here to welcome you when you're ready.
ReplyDeleteHi Emma, sorry I haven't been in touch for ages but I have been following the blog and thinking about you lots!
ReplyDeleteWell done to you for 'cooking' for that long, I really hope you can manage for as long as possible, but the fact that you are on week 29 and all seems fine is amazing!!
Lots of love and good luck!!

Well done my clever Em, I know how supersonic you are but you are still amazing all of us. You, Martin and my little star are in my thoughts constantly. LOVE x
ReplyDeleteGreat news! Here's hoping that week 29 becomes week 30 and gives your boys more time to cook before joining the big wide world! Thinking of you all,
ReplyDeleteLove Nona x
