Yeah completely over the moon. I had no idea i was pregnant till i was 3 months along. The ovarian cancer has disappered for now, another blessing from bub, well thats what the doctor says. He told me when i found out i was pregnant that because my immune system went up it would either fight the cancer or agrevate it. And at my last test he couldnt find any but still have to go back for tests every 6 months just to make sure. Yeah next time hopefully will be planned and i can always do those test things to find out when im ovulating and stuff. I feel so happy to have him every day, when my doctor first told me i wouldnt be able to ever have children i was distraught. But i have Caiden now so i am truly content. Ahh diesel duke ouch, kinda glad you won that arguement. My partners last name is Ellem, which is difficult enough to say at the best of times but trying to find a first name truly sucked.

I should have guessed that opposite sexes cant be identical, i still seem to have slight relapses of baby brain it sucks lol.

Yeah im only 18, still have loads of time to have another one, i want to do my HSC again (because i got kicked out for being pregnant, thought we werent in the stone ages but oh well) and i want to have my wedding before the next baby.

Yeah im happier having Caiden young too, i had a friend in school whos father was 50 when she was born so when she had her 18th he was 68 and she hated that he was so much older than all the other parents. It will certainly make it easier to keep up with him when he hits the terrible 2's. My partner turned 24 this year and it seems to have settled him alot too. Its kinda given him more direction, whereas me i dont know what i want to do when i finish my year 12 and stop being a stay-at-home mum.

Wow what a beautiful name ! I bet shes over the moon 9lb is still a very big baby ,Wow so you had no clue you were pregnant with caiden at all i mean you couldnt expect it with being on the pill and having a some what period ,thats really sad about the ovarian cancer is all that passed you now ? it is very hard to get pregnant if you have had something like that but being if you go off the pill you may have a higher chance of getting pregnant he is a little miracle bub makes them all that more enjoyable ,Yea your telling me they come out with weird names my partners last name is duke and he liked Diesel just think Diesel Duke !!! LOL i said no bloody chance ! You do have alot of twins on your side i mean they say twins have to run on the mothers side and only fraternal can be passed down ,but i dunno i am the first in my family part from my aunty who has twins that are 27 and they were identical so not passed down ,they say it skips a generation so it makes sence i thought with my dads mum having twins thats my thoughts , My twins are fraternal as only the same sex can be identical as that splitz from the same egg and sperm ,where i dropped 2 eggs to get my twins still find that freaky ,i didnt know you were only 18 year you have heaps of time to have another i was 17 ,19 and now 23 but i dont really mind that much being younger im happier my partner is 32 this yr and we really didnt wanna leave it any later

Yeah i have a swing i use it all the time. Yeah my sister was getting really fed up with it but not any more she had the baby last night at 11.30, a little girl Annabelle Audrey Grace, 9lb so a bit smaller than her last.

The reason they messed my dates up so much was because i hadn't had a period for 6 months before i found out, as i had on been put on the pill full time to stop agrevation to my ovarian cancer. Yeah i was planning on around 3 years, most likely after my 21st. Thats if i will be lucky enough to be blessed with another bub, my doctor said Caiden was a miracle in itself, as i was on the pill, had only been given a 2 % chance of ever having babies due to the cancer and other contributing factors. My doctor was incredibly shocked when i said i thought i might be pregnant.

Lol i had the opposite sort of problem at one stage, my partner was hell bent on creating his own name and there were many that were weird. I didn't wanna upset him lol but some of them were horrible. Yeah i am nice to him lol, he knows how to get what he wants. Twins run on my side of the family, my little sister was a twin, but the twin died during gestation, my dad was also a twin and i think his uncle was one too. I know there are more twins but cant remember them all. Mostly fraternal. Not too sure about my partners side as his has never met his biological father. So will your twins be identical or fraternal?

Have you got a swing ? they are great to cause you can do washing and take him out with you or make dinner ,mop all that stuff i loved my swings i have 2 now for the twins ,i really bet your sister is just fed up and wanting the baby out ! thats so long to go over she will have another big bub ,i dont know how they can mess your dates up sometimes doctors make me wonder ! they told me 6lb too and they were 7lb 15 so i thought that was okay i was all baby to and thats why i was so mobile right till i went into labor unlike this time round its horrible ,i reckon 3 is a good time to have another bub have them close but not to close cause they should be out of nappies and just life is alot easier my boys were 2 yrs apart and having them both in nappies ,the age mine are now are good cause they are some what self reliant my 5 half yr old can poor a drink and stuff like that ,Yea i dont think its yobbo hes just being weird cause of all the weird names around but he will soon warm upto it lol ,i like both the middle name you had picked i mean if it means something why not thats why we have charlottle after my partners aunt who passed away ,You let him win your nice heheh ,What side does the twins run on ? Are they fraternal or identical ,I have twins on my mums side my great nan was a twin and also my aunt has twins but they are identical ,also my dads a twin ,and my partner has twins on his side still didnt think it would end up me it was a shock and a half _

Yeah i definately need a play pen in my house there are no doors for the kitchen, laundroom and hallway so at least when he gets more mobile i'll know exactly where he is. Yeah i totally agree and so would my sister, shes not getting induced until wednesday, they were going to do it monday but put her back she was so mad. You'd just get so frustrated when i was pregnant with Caiden they werent sure when i was due, then they gave me the 11th of December and when i went in on the 11th my doctor said oh no your not due till the 18th. I was so frustrated i just wanted to see him.

Yeah 8lb is a good size, my doctor was really shocked though, because i didnt get really big, i was all baby as my mum puts it. He'd told me Caiden was probably only going to be 6lb.

Aww thats so cute about your boys i hope Caiden will be like that if/when we have another baby. Bella and Nate they are great names, i like them. Not yobbo at all lol! My partners middle name is Luckus meant to be Lucas but his mum didnt spell it right and i so wanted to give Caiden that middle name, so that he always had a little luck (cheesy i know), but my partner ended up winning that discussion and he got Ian after my father in-law.

I found out for Caiden what i was having but i think for the next one i wont. Twins run in my family so i hope i have some next time, especially as my partner has put the limit on 2 children. It would be great.

Yeah they do get away on ya , a play pen are a great idea i have one i had for my second and it was a blessing ,yes i must say when i had my first my partner was a little freaked out in how much pain i was in and didnt no what to do poor fella lol but like ya said there is always next time he can make up for it then lol i really think they shouldnt let women go over that much i think a week is enough poor thing thats a big baby this baby will prob be bigger the longer she goes over the more fat they put on ,my boys were only 7lbers and im glad for that ,i hope these get to 6lb but we will see
8lb is a good size baby you could go 9lb with another lol my second was smaller ,hes such a cutie little caiden i love they pic you have up very sweet oh how i love 4 to 5 month olds best age !!! yea the boys are very excited my 3 half yr old cant wait he wants to help so much he always kissers at night and says good night babies and same with mornings its beautiful ,we are having a girl and boy bella Charlotte and nate joseph well thats what i have picked my partner doesnt like nate he thinks its yobbo ! im like i dont really care hahah

Yeah i had a really good labour. Yeah Caiden is 4 and a half months on thursday. Yeah they are absolutely gorgeous at this age. His starting the whole mobility thing, guarenteed if i leave him in one spot he'll be in a different one when i come back. I went and got a glass of water the other day and came back and he was under the coffee table. I think im gonna have to invest in one of those play pens in the next few weeks. Yeah i was a bit upset he didnt make it but he said he heard me screaming over the phone and was kinda glad he wasnt there to see me go thru so much pain. He wont be so lucky with the next one.

Poor boys, my sister is kinda the same she has a 2 year old and is 8 days over with her next so for the past couple of months she hasnt been able to pick him up because she has big babies. Her last was 10 pound or something. So much more than my little Caiden who was only 8 pound 1. But your boys would be getting excited about new brothers or sisters. Do you know what your having?

Wow krissy sounds like you had a good labor ! i had a epidural with my first and it didnt work now i believe i have a crappy back from it ,so Your son is about 4 half months ? beautiful age i must say cause they cant quite move ,I love there sounds little cooing so cute ,I think hes just getting over excited lol he just wants him to say dad first lol Thats a shame about your partner not making it he just wanted out to meet his mum ,


Yeah everything is going good aches all over in my joints its hard cant do much anymore makes it hard with my boys cause they are not use to it ,I have the weight of a new born now at 26 weeks its so different from having one baby never thought it would be 11 or less weeks cant wait till they are here to be normal again

Caiden was born at 3.15am. He's nearly got the knack of rolling from his back to his tummy. And he's just starting to babble kind of. My partner swears he said dad dad the other day. But he hasnt repeated it so im a bit sceptical lol.

Wow 1.52 not that far from mine. Whats immy up to now??

Ouch 21 hours thats like my friend, she was due the same day but went 10 days over, 20 hours of labour and ended up having to have an emergency c-section.

I was extremely lucky with my labour kind of, the first stage of labour only lasted about 4 hours and was just the odd cramping, and the second stage my water broke and 15 minutes later out popped my little boy. The only 2 bad things about my labour were the fact that about 10 min before he was born i knew he was coming and the nurses didnt believe me, they kept telling me it was going to be another 3 hours so i nearly had him in the hallway and my partner didnt make it in time because my mum was going to pick him up when it got closer to the time so he wasnt drained when i needed him most.

I'd originally planned to have an epidural because im a wimp but there wasnt time and im so glad i didnt end up having on.

How is everything going with your twins Rachel?

Have you got any names picked out for the twins?  I cant even imagine noah going to school,im bad enough having to take noah to get his needles, i get my frieds to come with me so that they can hold him lol.



So i assume that you's arent working?  If you are, whats it like to try and juggle everything around because people are telling me i need to go back to work, and finacially im coping really well atm, but i just dont wanna miss anything with noah, like i figure hes only going to be little once.  Whats your guys opinion on going back to work?

Hey amy ! backwards crawling is soooo cute ,Some kids need alot of attention my 1st bailey was terrible he wouldnt just sit and play he needed you to sit with him sometimes it was really draining ,But my 2nd joseph was the totally different ,He will grow out of it eventually lol We do know the sex of the babies we are having a girl and boy yay i get one little girl 3 boys and a girl we are soooo happy hehe ...Yes i was so proud of my little man first day at school no tears only from me lol he catchers the bus everyday he has older friends at school and a girlfriend im told in yr 1 im not happpy about that lol ...Do my boys get jealously issues oh yes they do but its only over silly things like toys and clothes they didnt when they were little just now being they are going on 6 and 4 but at the same time they couldnt live without each other they are like twins they have there own bed but yet they sleep together , I think 16 months is a good age cause they tend to play by themselfs cause they can get around and like you said get into things they shouldnt that happens alot lol anyways talk with use sooon

the back crawling is soo funny to watch he is getting there he will be taking off soon enough you wont keep up lol he does look like a fatty but makes em all so cute ! i can tell ya my first bailey he was the same way wanted all my attention and it was hard it can get frustrating being a single mum even harder ....Do you get any help from your family ? I am having a girl and a boy finally get my little girl i will have 2 boys and a girl yay !! Heavy alright i have the weight of a new born now but keep on truckin only 12 more weeks i tell myself lol
Tegan i was so proud i was in tears ! its very special moment ! my sons are almost 2 yrs apart and yes they do get jealous of each other we have to have 2 of everything but in the same sence they love each other so much and couldnt be with out each other the are like twins themself im glad i had them close together but that was by choice ,I have to get my 3 yr old to school in a min i dunno how cause his brother is home arh its going to be hell we will see if he goes lol .......

oh rachel you must of been so proud first day of school!! i think its soo cute first day.!! And just wondering if your bubs had any jealousy issues... coz thats the only reason i have hesitated to have one more...

N yea amy it was really sad that we ended up that way but it was for the better coz i did find cam n he has completely taken on immy (which i never asked him to he really loves immy.. she even calls him dad so yea, immy never really used to play by herself but she has grown out of that when she got a bit more mobile and is happy to play by herself for a bit... probably because she is getting in to things she shouldnt lol, but she still loves going out for walks or drives rather than staying at home all the time....

take care :)

hey rach, yeah he is backward crawling, but hes a lil fatty so hes having a lil diffculty getting his belly off the floor lol. Do you know the sex of the twins?  I really hope it all goes well for you, i thought one baby was extra weight, i cant imagine what two would be like!!!



Tegan im glad you got out of the reltionship too, that'd be really horrible to experience and im lucky iv never been through anything like that.  Noah is really independent which at times is hard because he can only do so much.  I find it hard to keep him amused though which as a single mum is sometimes a lil frustrating.  I have a mate that has a lil girl 6 weeks younger and she'll just sit and play by herslef but noah needs the attetion, theres been many a time iv threatened him with ebay if he didnt learn to play by himself lol.



have a great night girls
