They're Back!!!!!!!!!

Hooray!!!!!!!! They're Back!!! Yes our beautiful friends spent a couple of days visiting us last week as they ended their mammoth tour of our gorgeous nation. I was finally able to introduce my beautiful little girl to Aunty Lis and Uncle Ant. Fin was so excited to have 'His Nat and Noah' back to play with (or maybe torment lol - poor Natty was so great playing with little Fin who was so over excited he didn't give Nat a break). We had missed them all so much. We had a really great time with them. Next job on the agenda - to make a flat caravan site to entice them to come stay more often lol (Our whole property is on a hill ).

We couldn't go a visit without a game of 'footy ' out in the paddock. Well as much as can be with little ones - lets just call it kick and throw the ball in all directions. A lot of fun though. I was inside feeding Eliza and having some lovely one on one time with little Noah as he wasn't well

How Blessed we are to have such special friends.

Our Breakie visitor

The other morning I was enjoying some freshly made scones - made ever so lovingly by my dear hubby - and a cuppa when I had a very impressive visitor. A gorgeous King Parrot came onto the verandah to say g'day. It seemed almost friendly and very inquisitive of us. I tried to get a few pics before the kids scared it but it hung around in the tree near the verandah for a while. We seem to get quite a few different parrots around so we should really invest in a bird feeder. I love living here.

Bathtime Babe

It's so funny how with your first child you barely have a camera out of your hands but by the time you get to the third it seems I never have it with me. Eliza is so sweet and getting so chubby I hate that I'm not capturing her as often as I could. These were taken (although not so well - I'll just blame poor lighting lol) the other day at bathtime. She is starting to love her bath and nuddie time, kicking her little legs about. She seems to be changing everyday. I can't believe she is 2weeks old already.

Her big brothers are still very much in love of her and constantly want cuddles and kisses (I hope it last a while yet lol). How blessed are we to have three such gorgeous little ones.

Master 2

Our gorgeous Luc celebrated his 2nd birthday on Monday. It is hard to believe he is so big already. He had a great day with some pretty cool presents (one being a cosy coupe car that is the source of way too many an argument lol) and lots of time with Mummy, Daddy, Fin, Eliza and Grandma. Seeing as I was only 5 days post op we had only a little family party with some of his favourite foods and a choccie cake covered in smarties and lolly sprinkles (I still feel a bit guilty not doing the whole sugarpaste decorated cake thing - there is always next year). But there were lots of balloons, streamers and lollies to make it a true birthday.

Happy Birthday our sweet Boy. We love you so very much.
He is such a little monkey being a grub in no shirt and he would not look at the camera so we could see his big brown eyes.

Welcome to Our Little One

We welcomed our beautiful little daughter 'Eliza Rose' into the world on Wednesday the 1st of October at 1716hrs.

Weight - 7lb 9ozs

Length - 49cms

Head Circ - 34cms

She arrived as planned by caesarean. Eliza gave a beautiful cry right on que and the paediatrician gave her great healthy scores. I did really well and recovered quickly (we came home yesterday morning). It is great to be home with my boys. They are so excited at being big brothers. Little Luc just seems to be in awe and wants cuddles all time (just have to watch the eye poking and rough patting lol). Fin has taken the big brother role on with so much excitement and energy. I'm sure he has grown up so much in the last few days.

We have been so blessed and we thank all of you for your prayers and kind thoughts.

One Day to go!

Yes it is hard to believe but our family will become a family of 5 in just over 24hrs. I feel like I have been pregnant forever but I can't believe it is tomorrow already. It is exciting to know we will meet our little bundle so soon but I am so nervous at the same time. Everything from the actual procedure to how my little boys will be with my mum and stepdad and their reaction, and to how bub will be post op is all racing through my mind. It is still such a miracle to me that God gives us such a gift in bringing a little one into his world. We pray for safety for her delivery and so many thanks for the bubs and my health so far.

Next post will hopefully be of our beautiful healthy little girl (hopefully a name too lol as we are still a little undecided). Please keep us in your prayers.

Baby Girl (no not arrived yet)

We had a scan of bub yesterday just to check on growth and a few other things. Baby appears to be definately a girl so I can go and wash the cute little dresses I have. She seems to be growing and developing normally. A little chubber though lol. Very round little cheeks and nice meaty lips. I can't wait to meet her in a week and a half (If I last that long as I had a show yesterday morning). Just thought you guys might like a sneak peek. Its a bit of a messy pic as she wasn't in a good position and her little hands kept moving about in the way. I'm sure you will work it out.

If you look towards the centre and to the right you will see a round little nose and then lips below and round little cheek left of her nose just before the shadowing. It is a little tricky sorry.
