David, breast feeding and cloth nappies are a no-brainer. You might also consider - when you have to use a bottle sometimes - trying the kids on soy milk formula in case either of them is lactose intolerant (as my daughter was). Get them used to the taste. And if a milk powder rep tries to hand out free samples in the recovery room, do what I did - physically throw them out (docs and nurses had to break up the fight - LOL).

Congrats David, I know how you must be feeling, we are expecting a boy(Alexander) early November.

Children changed me completely. I never backed down from a uck or a fight. I knew it was time to shape up when the first arrived.

No more missionary style, take it from the sides.

Congrats once more, mamy poko is a very good diaper.

David,have you worked out with miss farmgirl whether its 12,000 amonth for milk formula and nappies or the old style breast feeding and washing nappies.

Yeah we did the old fashioned way....never regret not polluting the environment with tons of crap that lasts for decades......kids can start their life with a better environmental background and not even know it.

What I hate the most is waste and, while 'disposables' are convenient and a great product ... say when you go for a Family Picnic etc ... where the disposables are indefensible.

But ... her decision ... but our discussions to date are cloth nappies ... anyone got heaps to lend?

Not exactly organic, but if you have a section of land that is very sandy and is difficult to grow anything without constant watering. You can split the mama pokos and dig the gel into the soil. The gel will help to retain moisture and your babies will be contributing essential nitrogen to the environment.

Fan-bloody-tastic news mate! Congrats!

Can't say it better than your friend Mr Smith.

So David and MissFarmGirl

You'll need a wide angle lens in 6 months mate

My wife massaged bio oil on her belly during her pregnancies while i put the speaker near playing soul music.

The baby's used to dance and kick really enjoying the stimulation.

CCC

Yep. If your wife is preggers and the doc asks do you want ultrasound, sounds live CCC has got the answer.

Hope he keeps forgetting for many many more years.

We know what you been doing, we know what you been doing....lol.....

Congratulations to both of you and the warmest wishes for the future, twins! Wow, you had the stamina to make them, know you,ll need more to cope with them...lol....double trouble, but also double joy! Fantastic.!

Congratulations to both of you!

"A grand adventure is about to begin."

- Winnie the Pooh

congratulations!

its going to be crazy when they arrive - re-usable nappies and 100% breastfeeding are definitely better in theory but looking after babies is not a theoretical exercise - especially when there will be 2 of them - try to plan ahead but don't be afraid to change (or feel guilty about changing) those plans later!

also worth discussing what level of involvement your respective families want/expect to have - we learnt there are big differences between the role of the extended family in western/thai culture, which caused some awkwardness that could have been avoided if we had discussed with everyone before.

also worth mentioning for you and others with pregnant thai partners -make sure they get some cream to deal with stretch-marks - half-farang babies are relatively big for thai girls' bodies, never mind with twins- and girls don't share our pride in bodily scars (regardless of what great event it represents)!

good luck!

great news...Congratulations to everyone..

now I am little bit bigger

doctor says about 5 months

David and MFG

I'm sure I said it before, but at my age every day is a groundhog day .... ooooh clouds!.... Congratulations to you both. It is fantastic news and I hope you'll enjoy this new adventure. My kids are in their 30s and I have grand children now........life just keeps getting better and better.

May you find the same happiness.

Hope it is two little farmgirls....two more David48s may be a little too much.

Ha Ha ...

Actually, you are correct, that is what she is hoping for.

We have no idea.

I'll let her (MissFarmGirl) know you posted that ... she'll get a buzz.

Humph ... no more David48's ... ... grumble, grumble...

Aw, c'mon mate.... There's always next time.

Food for thought OP......................

............. ..............

My cousin got twins and I feel bad every time I meet them coz I cant see the diiference and have to ask their dad before addressing them. Any idea how to solve this problem, David?

Mate ... I have no idea about that.

I asked their mother to be, and she just replied ... Mothers know this.

Till I work a system out I think I will just be seeing ...

(Feeding time ... their boys and it will be natural)

Maybe this is my last photo to show.

Every month we make a photo.

Merry Christmas everyones.

You look to be what a cattleman would say is a heavy springer. The word heavy in no way is a reflection on you Miss farmgirl, as you my most favorite contributor to the farming forum.

Take care of yourself and don't keep us in suspense after the additionS to the family.

congratulations david you are probably worried about your wife giving birth in Thailand don't worry at all as my wife had our second child born in Thailand and it was a better

experience for her than in England . I don't know but you might not be able to be by her side at the birth as I wasn't but that was 12 years ago . cheer s mate

both of you don't worry as every thing will be fine

Yep, you're carrying pretty low, and with twins they could come a bit early. We had our first child in Bangkok, and am currently sitting with my wife in labour with our second. I'm up against the clock coming up with a name, I don't envy you having to come up with two. Don't leave it to the last minute! Good luck.

'And a nappy new year......

Best wishes.

Pray for girls, David. They gather some, hmm, interesting friends as they get older. My daughter has just spent several days here and several of her friends have comes down from Bkk to stay. One is a model. To keep my blood pressure in check, I stay away from the bathroom in the morning - but I won't bore you with any details. You wouldn't be interested, I'm sure.
