I have twin boys (now 18 years old). We moved to a house with open stairs when they were just over a year old. They were 100% fine. No broken bones!! Totally agree with you Ell.

Bless you Ell! My son was 9lb 6oz (born at 38 weeks) and I had doctors asking me when my twins were due! You have two babies that are basically the same weight as my son was - you are amazing! My Aunts twins were 8lz 6oz and 8lb 5oz when they were born which is crazy to me! I’m 5’10 and my Aunt is 5’11 so our bodies were prepared to have big tall babies! You are so tiny and carrying two strong and tall boys who take after their Daddy Fab - you are amazing! I’m so sorry you have gestational diabetes to deal with, I pray that God will heal you and the boys of the diabetes and any of the side effects (on babies blood sugar and weight) that it can have.

I had GD there with my first baby born in September there. I had to test 7 times a day and use insulin at night. I was induced at 38 weeks as they were worried about growth and weight being 10+ pounds at that stage and my girl was born weighing 7lb... It's something you have to do but please don't stress as the measurements and scans can clearly be off. Looking forward to seeing your boys being a parent is the greatest joy 💞

Hello from the USA! You're doing great! Have enjoyed following your journey. Ell wanted to let you know I developed Preeclampsia in my 1st pregnancy in week 37. My "headache" symptom just felt like I was getting a headache, not a full headache. Then when my vision (blurred and doubled) was affected I went to the ER and was induced to delivery my daughter. Please also watch for swelling especially around your ankles. I'm sure you're test results will be fine and I'm so looking forward to seeing your precious bundles of joy. Take care and rest as much as you can.

El, I had gestational diabetes in my first pregnancy 6 years ago and my boy was 8lb 8 (predicted from growth scans to be 9lb 10!) I had an emergency C-section and the only problem after was that baby couldn't get warm and was under a heat lamp for 24 hours. No lasting symptoms or anything. In my second pregnancy I was tested 3 times and never got gestational diabetes but had an 8lb 3 baby via csection. I'm made to grow big babies. you are wonder woman carrying around 9lb of babies already with a few weeks to go! You are doing fantastic xxx

I also had Gestational Diabetes with my first pregnancy. You will do fine. They told me no fruits until after 12pm because of the natural sugars. My go to in the morning was an English muffin with peanut butter on it. Try pricking your ring finger on the side to draw blood, that was my best option for success. Good luck to you, it won’t be long now and you and Fab will be holding your precious boys in your arms. 🥰

Hi Ell, i am type 1 diabetic (and have had it for the last 13years) and like you said, you do what you have to do to be healthy and happy. Your doing amazing and there was nothing you could of done to prevent the gestational diabetes, it can happen to anyone. Although i haven't experienced diabetes through pregnancy, i can let you know some helpful tips on the carbs/ snacks front from a diabetics point of view. Surprisingly vegetables, fruits and other foods also contain carbs but often starchy food have more in. Be aware carbs such as brown bread/ pasta ect are better and fruits like bananas , mango, grapes ect are actually quite high in carbs/ sugar. I often snack on things like nuts, berries, fruit like apples, sometimes some plain/greek yoghurt with my fruit, flavored rice crackers and my fav jelly! As your currently borderline it sounds like you've got a bit more flexibility and i think you will definitely be able to get away with having some sweet treats, it just may be that its better in the middle of the day where you also have time to go for short walks ect after or only when you eat certain meals prior. My best tip though at the end of the day is dont beat yourself up if your blood sugars spike, adapt, adjust and just keep moving forward. Its a learning curve and your doctors will understand that too! Please don't put to much pressure on yourself, your doing fab ;) Love you both!!

I also had gestational diabetes when I was pregnant with my rainbow baby (he will be 7 in December) so I get what your going through with having to test your sugars all the time, I really struggled with changing my diet cause I used to eat rice krispies for breakfast and the diabetes nurse looked horrified when I said that 🤦‍♀️ p.s love the boys nursery and what you have done to the house so far.

Very good speech, Eli, in relation to the gap in the stairs!! I have brought up 4 boys, all very close together in age (3 under 3 at one point) and you are so right. Children need to be taught and they need to learn for themselves. You can't protect them from everything. The biggest thing you can do for them (relating to safety I mean), is to equip them with the info they need to make good choices! And of course they will have accidents along the way... Let me tell you that I had many, with 4 little boys!! But they learnt from them.

@@fabandell exactly! And all of this still applies as they grow into teenagers! Teaching our children how to make good choices is the way forward. Allowing them to make their own mistakes and to ensure that they learn from these mistakes, is key. Above all, assuring them that they will STILL be loved, even when they make a mistake (within reason ha!) in life, is everything. I think you will be a wonderful mother, Eli.

Well done Fab & Elle, watched your insta post re- gestational diabetes, keep up the good work. Yes go for a walk after eating helps burn what you have eaten. I too had late onset gestational diabetes back in 2005, with my 2nd child. Then by 2009 I was diagnosed Diabetic. It's taken me along time to learn what suits me and what doesn't. As far as snacks goes try vegetable sticks, I also agree with Ellen re the stairs. The glass idea is not a good one! Good luck with the Labour, xx

You two are just great. Those little boys don't know yet just how lucky they are. You are both going to be great parents. Ell is right about the stairs if you make your house like a padded room they won't learn the possibility of dangerous things that they have to figure out how to navigate around safely. Fab is right about you going out and exercising their alittle to big for that. Except swimming that is good and risk of danger to babies is zero because no gravity in water puts no pressure on umbilical cords or their spinal cords. The house their room all looking great. I'm so excited you would think I'm part of your family waiting for them to be here. Guess that what happens when you decide to become a youtuber. When I first clicked your video over a year ago I didn't know I'd be pacing the floors counting down days. Love from Missouri USA. Eat salads and stir fry steamed veggies baked dhicken just a few suggestions I was borderline and these kept it way down.

Oh my goodness - your pregnancy sounds just like mine which was sooooo long ago! My identical twin boys were the second and third children and I developed GD with my first child in the 8th month! With the twins, I was on a diabetes diet from 4 or 5 months on....I literally had a hard time eating everything they put on my diet instructions. I'm not sure how you are still driving - I couldn't reach the pedals any longer (I'm 5'2") so had to be driven - I ended up being 48" around and delivered at 35 weeks...the twins were 6.7oz and 6.6oz - pretty big for 5 weeks early. Of course my first one was 9.5oz and born on his due date. Here is a tip - always have pictures taken with Baby A on one side and Baby B on the other - after many years passing by, you think you might remember but sometimes it is soooo hard to tell who is who! They change every week when they are little! I love your channel - enjoy every minute and record a lot in the first year - it was a bit of a gray fog for me. Another thing - if they are mirror image twins, one might be right handed and one left handed .... I did a lot of reading after I had my boys and their hair cowlicks (swirls) actually go in opposite directions - this is why if you went to school with identical twins, they would part their hair on opposite sides. Just some twin fun facts. Some identicals are not mirror image - they are the same on everyting. I think you guys are doing great!

When I was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes I found it extremely difficult with what to eat because I also would eat a lot of carbs. One thing they told me I should do is only have 1 meal a day with carbs in so if I had toast in a morning then I wouldn't have anything with carbs in for the rest of the day. I also 'mixed' rice and pasta's with white and whole wheat. If you are not a massive fan of wholemeal bread, try hovis 50/50 to start off with. its about learning to compromise on your diet. Hope this helps you x

I had gestational diabetes, like you said its trial and error but I gave up chocolate, cake and biscuits just to be on the safe side. I had a baby boy two weeks early (induced) 9lb and I am 5ft!

Please can I also give you another tip. Alternate the boys in the carseats it strengthens their necks so they are not constantly looking one side !

The vision change for Pre eclampsia for me was obvious like little water specs all over my eyes and I couldn't see defo not blurred. The headache too was also out of this world. Also trace of protein can be fine in most cases Mine was the highest plus when I had it but I will say I did have just a trace for weeks and weeks so defo keep an eye. Some people get they're own strips for at home instead of waiting inbetween appointments. Now that I've had it if I have another I will be doing my own blood pressure and urine tests myself at home.

Little tip. Pack things for Fab in your hospital bag ie spare tshirt (accidents happen) deodorant, snacks. It was 1 thing my husband wanted when I was in labour .

Another great vlog :) Totally agree the glass will look gorgeous on the stairs but have you considered the fingerprints? The boys won't be able to reach the handrail so will touch the glass everytime they go up and down once they're walking. My mam has this exact issue whenever the grandkids visit 😂 X

As far as the corners - amazon has corner protectors for babies = i.e. toddlers. I'm in the U,S, so can't send you the link. Nice when they are learning to stand and walk.. I'm a older lady who has children and grandchildren. Head protection is never out of line.

I had gd with my second one,I generally had big babies they were both over 9lb 😅I know it’s scary I was devastated when I was told I had gb but managed to control mine with a good diet and a tablet I had to take. U very much can have what u fancy in moderation still it’s just the reading from ur finger prick test may be a tad high when certain sugars are consumed ,they do come back down it’s only if they remain high that it’s a problem but don’t stress all will be good u got this🤞❤️

You should put a clothes line up in your back yard for the washing Fab. And maybe make another register cover for the toy room to keep them from burning their fingers. Ell you can eat your oatmeal, yogurts, fruit, salad, raw veggies. Just eat small meals throughout the day. I am type 2 diabetic, I eat granola bars ,fruits, eat your cherries in a smoothie and make other smoothies with yogurt that's low in sugar. Drink lots of water. Fab she needs to walk alot to burn off the sugar or small amounts of carbs she eats.

We have one but it rains a lot in England :(! I unfortunately can’t have oatmeal, yoghurt or fruit as it makes me spike :(! I’ve also been told by my diabetic nurse to avoid smoothies at all costs as they are packed with sugar x

@@fabandell oh wow. There is low sugar yogurt. And if you buy lactose products, they have less sugar. That's what I eat for my sugar. Soon it will be over Hun. They'll be here and your sugars should level out. Mine did. But as soon as I hit my late forties it came back as type 2.

All I can think when you say 4lb1 and 4lb7 is 8lb 8oz plus everything else going on in there like placenta and fluid etc!! At 31 weeks!! Could you imagine having a singleton that weight at that gestation, everyone would be freaking out 🤣🤣 Twin mums must be picked from above specially for the job you’re just amazing I don’t know how you do it xx

I have a serious complaint to make: Can you guys stop being so cute and watchable? 😉 Super excited to watch you both embark on this next life chapter. Apologies if you’ve listed it somewhere and I’ve missed it, but do you have a registry of any sort (Amazon wishlist or other) so that your KZfaq followers can send you a little something as you prepare to welcome your boys? Congratulations again and so happy for you! ❤️

One more thing to get for baby boys' bums is have hydrocortisone ointment (cream will dissolve when wet) on hand for any redness that the normal bum cream did not prevent. There is nothing worse than changing a little one with a sore bum. If the hydrocortisone doesn't work they will probably have a yeast infection, and need a doctor visit for a prescription.
