Me: I bought a new dress. Do you like it? Try to marry truth and tact.
Him: It’s ideal for around the house.
I went for a scan during the week and tested the doctor’s scales, in the interests of everyone’s happiness, we have no weighing scales at home. For your information, the twins now weigh 1.3kgs each. This is average for a single baby at this stage. This means I am twice as large as a normal 7 month pregnant person. Are you scared?
Me: Do you know what I weigh now?
Him: No.
Me: 71 kilos
Him: Well, you are pregnant with twins etc.
Me: What do you weigh?
Him: You’d really rather not know.
Me: TELL ME.
Him: 72 kilos.

I could tell you how much I weigh and it would make you feel slender and positively sylph-like- but then I’d have to kill you xx

Mr W is brilliant – ‘it’s alright for round the house’ indeed. I can see why you married him. 0

Like Minkleberry I could do the same! I’m just seriously hoping my thyroid function is out of kilter else I have some serious dieting and exercising to do. As a pregnant mum of twins consider yourself extremely sylph like! 0

Stroppy, of course there are no right answers, but he SHOULD have known that. Um, yes, pog. Minks, StarCorner, you know that I measure 163cms in my stockinged feet. I am short alas whereas I am sure that you are both tall and willowy.
Yes, HJB, I worry… 0

Belg, I love you for thinking I am tall and willowy. Sadly, I am 161 centimetres tall. I envy your extra 2- What does the world look like from up there? 0

Well, I’m 173cms and never you mind how many kilos and the ultrasound tech said today that my baby was sizewise ‘above average’ and that’s my excuse and I’m sticking to it, dammit. 0

Minks, you sound tall and willowy and I’m sure it’s all in the mind. That’s what I try to tell myself anyway.
KE, that sounds like an excellent excuse. With the added merit that it may even be true. 0

I think that if I were you, I’d pretend that it just means I can eat THAT MUCH MORE. ���
