TWIN BOYS

Our beautiful baby boys born 5th February bb1 2.2kgs bb2 1.65 kgs both should be off oxygen by now, will have some more updates this afternoon...we were up all night, now trying to get flights cannot get out til Saturday!! More to follow ...:)

Hospital again...

Our Lovely SM has been doing a great job, but the babies are still not playing nice. She was released after one week in hospital with abdominal pains, had a week out of hospital, and before I could update you all, she is back in again with the same. Im a lot calmer this time, I hope its not as bad for our SM...We are week 34...

Tough week? Not so tough after all...

I have been getting into trouble for not blogging...sorry about that.  Bit been going on...

I had all my beautiful friends and family over for a baby shower last Saturday. One special one missing was my little sister who lives too far away, but is saving to see us when babies arrive  My luck it must have been the hottest day of the year, I lost what I was drinking in champagne in sweat!  We received some beautiful thoughts and gifts and it was touching how genuinely excited and happy my nearest and dearest are for us.  As you guys know, as Ips who have been through the infertility ringer, it's hard to sit back and relax and truly believe this is all happening, so for our closest to acknowledge the extension of our family was a big thing for us!

But after a few champagnes on Saturday, Saturday night we received email from SCI, and I worked out why mums don't drink to much (it's in case they have to deal with a kiddy drama!). The email told us that our lovely sm was having contractions and stomach pain and she was admitted to hospital.

O oh, that's too early! Too early! We were 32 weeks at that stage, we had received a scan that morning and I had read (sometimes you don't need all that info from dr google) that scans have been heard to bring on labor.  No update on Sunday as SCI closed so next one was Monday night for us, babies going well but sm still in pain.  Scans for babies again on Tuesday, Tuesday night we received them and showed that babies have started powering on the weight.  We have had no further scans but have had daily updates with much the same information.  So babies sounds like they are having a great time in there and giving our poor sm trouble.  I hope that's not a sign of things to come!

So I haven't been the easiest person to live with the last week(again)  I have tried to relax about the situation, sent some crazy emails to margarida and meg as well as SCI, called my 'BFF' a few times to 'unload' and following advice started putting my energy into positive instead of negative.  Packing has started which brought on another mild reaction, as I thought I was well and truly organised....not
organised!  So that has kept me busy getting organised!

Reading blogs during the week has really brought it home as well as other ips I have been following are all getting ready for their impending births, so why wouldn't I be as well at this time?  I think it's been hard to imagine that after all this time it's actually happening!

We will not have another update until early next week as its a holiday in India as well (australia day holiday for us!) so will post if I have more information.

Congratulations to all those with beautiful babies in arms this week, and good luck to all those preparing and on their way to India.  Special good luck and thoughts to those that had an especially hard week gone, who after reading their blog put mine into perspective. Xo

fur babies after hard day with kids at baby shower

Cute caterpillars eh?

Week 30

I had to check with baby headquarters what week we were in...I'd lost track.  Week 30 it is...so only 5 to 7 weeks to go!!
That's putting things into perspective; I'm now madly downloading previously read lists of what to pack and what paperwork to start getting organised....
Nursery is finished...we are not due another update for another fortnight...so will post again then.

Well...just one more shelf to go in...

Best wishes to all xo

The Wave

A few waves this blog...firstly the work wave!  Wave of work that is...our industry (building) is ridiculous this time of year.  The older I get the more I dislike it (stronger words used in closed circles!) Its like the world is ending at Christmas and everything has to be finished before we break for the holidays.

We do get a lot of new jobs though that have to be rushed, so it all helps towards the twins nursery roll out!

Oh not forgetting we also got married in the last month :)  We had a fantastic day, just small with family, and very casual.  We had a great time.  Our twins even got a mention, so every one is eagerly awaiting their arrival.

Thanks so much for all the wishes and beautiful wedding cards guys!  Everyone has been really sweet

The resort wouldn't let us bring our furbabies so we had them put on the wedding cake!

Reading some blogs this morning of new arrivals has brought tears to my eyes, so Im hoping I can hold myself together when it finally happens for us.  Gosh it has felt the time has dragged on and on.  People saying the time is going so quickly....NO ITS NOT!  I guess we have waited 6 years, another couple of months (but with a positive outcome this time!!) should be bearable.

Plus it will give me time to finish off the last minute items for nursery and babies arrival and dont forget the three week stint overseas to collect them.

Im still struggling with the idea that we will finally have/be a family.  Its hard to believe that it's
almost our turn.  I guess the first few sleepless nights will sort that out for us.  Reading another great blog, they mention as their new baby grows every day, the pain they went through to have her diminishes just that little bit more.  Well said! Looking forward to that!

Our neighbors baby is a gentle reminder of what is in store for us. He has just started crying as I write... I hear him early in the morning and around 5 in the afternoon, he really puts it on!!  It will be a competition soon!  These are the neighbors when we first moved in, had a party or three every weekend, regular mid week sessions, lots of drinking, smoking, etc etc and had not one scrap of trouble it seems falling pregnant.  I saw her out the front of her house on our last failed IVF attempt,

very pregnant, and burst into tears!  My poor hubby...:)

Well, now the good stuff... the last wave, but not the least - THE BABY WAVE

Love and best wishes to all
