Two become four…

May 15, 2017 By Poppy Dinsey 22 Comments

Blimey, it’s been an awfully long time since I’ve blogged. I have had an excuse though, as I’ve been growing two little humans…

PoppyD Twin pregnancy

I announced the pregnancy on Instagram last week and was completely floored by the hundreds of lovely comments and messages, especially from twin mums who have completely dazzled me by their willingness to offer advice and encouragement to a complete stranger. I’ve learnt more in the last few days than I had in the whole of the first trimesterΒ and hearing from others has given me such a boost. I’m feeling more confident than ever. (But ya know, also still a bit terrified because TWINS.)

I really wanted to wait until the twenty week scan before shouting about my pregnancy, I’m 15 and a bit weeks now, but as you can probably tell from the pics it has been getting harder and harder to hide. Plus I haven’t been well enough to work for months and I was getting increasingly paranoid that every PR and agency I’ve ever dealt with was about to write me off as the flakiest flake around. (Which wouldn’t have been that untrue to be fair, WHAT is the deal with pregnancy lizard skin?!). So rest assured I hadn’t just decided to give up on blogging/vlogging/existing altogether, there’s just been a lot going on…in the best possible way.

I said it on Instagram but I’ll say it again: I really can’t believe I’m going to meet a tiny human who is half me and half Stephen, let alone two tiny humans. It’s just mad, isn’t it? I mean I know that’s what babies are – a mix of their parents – but I’m so excited to meet them and get to know them. I’ve got a real feeling that they’re going to be proper rascals.

If all goes smoothly, please god, they’ll be joining us in mid October. We don’t know the genders yet and we’re not sure if we will find out (I think we will, if only because you have so many scans with twins that resisting will feel nigh on impossible) but I certainly have my suspicions!

Thank you again for all the lovely messages, they’ve truly meant a lot.

    I know I’ve already said this to you but CONGRATULATIONS!! I am genuinely so happy for you. I’ve been reading your blog for bloody yonks and it feels almost like I’ve watched you grow (in the coming months this is going to be true in a much different way!) This next chapter is so exciting.

    xx

      So so kind. Thank you! And god yes, I really WILL be growing. I can’t imagine what I’ll look like by autumn! I might have to just draw a pumpkin face on my belly and be done with it πŸ˜‚ xx

    Ah congratulations Poppy! To be honest, I had my suspicions. Being pregnant myself (29+6) I watched your most recent food favourites video soon after it went on YouTube and thought it sounded like my pregnancy diet, so I wondered if you might be πŸ˜‰
    Twinnies? That’s really amazing. I have no advice, I’m expecting one, and this is my first, so I’m learning too. But, from the bottom of my heart, congratulations, you’ll be ace! Xx

      Congrats to you too! I’m going to do a pregnancy special food faves this week I hope πŸ™‚ And then normal service should resume – although I don’t trust my tastebuds any more so who knows!! Maybe half the things I think are nice are actually horrible πŸ˜‚ xxx

    Congratulations, Poppy! My son just turned 6 months, and it’s amazing! That thing you mentioned about having someone who is half you and half someone else…mind blowing. I still find it hard to believe. Enjoy the ride, and near the end, take it easy and let Stephen do a lot of the work around the house. You’re going to be really uncomfortable. But once all is said and done, for me and my wife, it has been an amazing and fun ride. Cheers!

    I read your announcement on Instagram and was instantly surprised at how much happiness it was possible to feel for someone you don’t know! You’ve always come across as a really down to earth blogger and youtuber and I can’t wait to follow your journey as a mum of two! Wishing you all the best for the rest of your pregnancy! πŸ™‚ Charlotte x

    Congratulations! You look gorgeous (and not just because of that fabulous rainbow dress!) – they’re going to be seriously cute tiny people. I’d been wondering where you’d gone but you have a pretty good excuse πŸ˜‰
