Wow its been a busy 2 weeks. No babies yet, which is a good thing. Gemma is now 33 weeks, and we need the twins to stay in for another 3-4 weeks.
Last weekend we moved apartments, I think you forget how much stuff you accumulate, and by stuff I mean junk.
With Gemma being pregnant she could not help at all, much to her frustration, so we relied heavily on friends. Without them I could not have moved us. It took 5 of us 10 hours to move a 2 bedroom apartment. I was exhausted by the end of the day. Great strength workout though.
So now we are in our new place Gemma can start nesting. The cribs went up last night, and Gemma can start getting the babies room together. (I can put the bike up on the trainer in the spare room and start nesting with my sports kit!)
On the training front, I have been able to keep up my low level of training. Continued to do 2 spin classes a week, 1 core class and 2x 5-10 mile runs a week. Nothing major, just enough to keep myself ticking over until the end of this month when training will start to increase for the run up to IM FL. Need to get back into some swimming as well. (Update.. got a 6.3 mile run done plus a 36 mile bike this weekend. Bike was on the trainer and I noticed the speedo was still reading 112 miles as that was the last time I'd ridden my bike!)
B-FitB-Day
I have joined Romans B-FitB-Day site. Originally I didn't sign up as my Birthday is the beginning of Jan and the site wasn't set up then. So I was talking to Roman and I am going to nominate a Birthday for this year as my Birthday was before the site was up. After further discussions I am going to choose the week the twins are born (sometime in May). I doubt there is a chance I can do the Gold, of all events in 24hours, but I hope to be able to get the silver (all in 72 hours). For me that means 3 miles swim, 30 miles bike, and 3 miles run.

Way to keep the base build going.
Congrats on the move, but it sounds like you have WAY too much stuff or not enough friends - lol!
It's very nice of you to dedicate the twins birthdays for B-fit B day.
Congrats on the move. My sister-in-law moved while on bedrest with twins just last year and I understand how hard it must have been on Gemma! It's probably nice that she can finally start getting things ready! What an exciting time for you both!
Great job with training... it's a hard time of year and with what's going on in your life, seems like you might be a bit busy! I'll be anxious to hear how your training continues and will hopefully see you at IMFL! Keep up the good work!
Just found your site. An Ironman and future father of twins-already a hero in my book!
