well cause iv been very busy i havent had a chance to update you all on the babies so....

lilly is out of hospital now and doing really well (eating, sleeping, pooing and keeping mum and dad up)... she is now just over 8 weeks old and still going with the trend of early as they would normally keep babies in till around there normal due date and little lilly was not due till 17th dec so you go girl...

(sorry no updated pic of lilly yet)

grub is going great guns too she will be out any day now because bree has mild hypertension and the doc has put her on maternity leave as of last wednesday. bree is booked in (at this stage) to get induced on 19th, 7 days before her due date so grub should be here no later than the 20th but we will see i guess...

(bree with gub in her belly)

clone well there is no denying that he is a HE!!! christy's scan on the 23rd confermed that so they are a little more excited. at this stage with about 7 weeks to go there is no problems, complications or anything like that and at this stage christie is still at work but iv been told getting quite big...

(clone at 32 weeks)

im now a nail technician...

woohoo

go me!!!

i became a nail technician on friday last week

with a pass on my practical's,

100% on my gel exam and 120/130 on my main

exam...

so i became a little smarty...

my finger

'my finger'

woohoo i did one on me and i must say its very nice

getting ready to pop!!!

well just check this out people!!!

Bree is at 33 weeks and look how big she has gotten already...

still 7 weeks to go and still growing

with this Bree is now finding it hard to do a full days work and even pretty bugged getting to the car at knock off time.

you can check out her "grub" site at

http://www.totsites.com/tot/grub

we had a laugh and Bree recons she needs a wheel barrow to help get the guts around!!!

helloween

well last night was Halloween

i have no idea what it is meant to be about, only that people dress up and go door knocking to get lollies and things so i got into the spirit of things and dressed up.

i had heaps of lollies for kids but only had 1 lot come around.

others were saying that there were lots coming to their houses but they must have been to tucked out by the time they got to our house but anyway i went to craig and MJ's to show off my outfit and nilly gave MJ a heart attach...

this hasn't killed my enthusiasm i will still do it again next year...

grub

~grub~

well on wednesday i was lucky to go to one of bree's scans and this was the best i have ever seen, with this 3D image we can see SHE has her mum's nose and her dad's mouth.

leaps and bounds...

~go girls~

well melissa is now out of hospital, she was discharged on thursday.

lilly is also doing very well being moved up rooms again, now in room 3 its just awesome to see.

there isn't much else to report there except that but here is a photo of all 3.

piglet has a name...

well they announced piglets name today... it is

"Lilly"

i am so excited cause i really love that name but sorry ill take a few steps back...

melissa woke up on friday and where they keep patients that have been in an induced coma in ICU for a few days after they wake, melissa was put out of there the very same day... mel is doing very well improving every day, she is up and giving everyone cheek i think they were going to try to make her walk a few steps today. she had all her spirit yesterday singing and playing the air drums... lol...

now "Lilly" she is going great guns, on friday she was moved from room 8 (room 8 is the highest care and it goes down to room 1 where that is the last room before they go home) straight to room 5, they normally keep the baby in room 8 for 2 to 8 weeks and she made it out in less than 1 and even jumped a few, she now the only tube in lilly is the feeding tube in her nose and even then only because a baby at only 30 weeks dose not have the sucking motion yet. lilly is still in a humidity crib due to her body temp needs to be kept steady and something about oxygen levels. melissa and craig got to hold lilly for the first time today so very exciting for them.

well that's it for now, i will keep updating when i get more updates.

update on melissa...

updated news for melissa and 'piglet'...

well first piglet is doing well and pretty much breathing for herself now but they do still have to have her on a c-pap machine and she is now been put in a humidity crib (sounds worse but they said it is a step up). today she got t have some of melissa's breast milk cause she was screaming her little lungs out and again they say its a really good sign...

now melissa... well she is still in an induced coma since sunday ( she dose not even know she has had a little girl yet let alone had a baby) :o( the liver is doing ok but they need to look at her heart and did a cat scan on her head to rule out other things. she had ALOT of fluid on her lungs but today there is less so things look good there. craig got to do her hair this morning and her face screwed up and went red so there is good response from her. so each day she is getting better but still don't know when they will wake her up properly. i hope its soon so she dose not miss to much of piglets first few days plus she needs to be better for herself and us.

craig is a very proud dad and at the same time a very stressed husband as you would expect.

well that's it for now and i will update more when i can.

but all in all things are getting better NOT worse...

it's a..... GIRL!!!

well iv just had news that mel is ok... sick but ok!!!

and piglet is a little girl, whisked off to ICU but they say she has good colour,

so once again fingers crossed...

ps. read the post under this and you will see what is going on...

complications...

well melissa has a few complications today, she has just been rushed into surgery to get piglet delivered today at 1 day shy of 30 weeks. this is because melissa's liver has actually failed so mel wont be in the all clear for a while but we have high hopes for piglet but we do have everything and i mean everything crossed for them both to be well... i WILL keep you updated when i know more... :o( i am flying down tonight to see them, i will be there for at least 2 weeks...

BIG weekend...

WOW what a weekend!!!

Kylie and David came for the weekend to visit

they arrived on Friday night and first stop was

back home for Kylie to change cause she was hot... lol...

well after that we went and showed them the night view

of Townsville including up Castle Hill. They were just

amazed at the view. Then on Saturday we went to Reef HQ and

the Museum then back home for the boys to watch the AFL

grand final, after that we zipped up Mt Stuart to see the sunset

but we just missed it it was at dusk by the time we got up there but still

was beautiful. Then on Sunday we went to Magnetic Island to

go snorkeling and oh my god how awesome was that we had

the best day catching the sunferry over and hiring a purple moke...

yep the only purple moke on the island, we nick named it the

flying purple people eater...lol... and we were home

to go out for a great tea at an all you can eat Thai restaurant to

make it home to watch the last half of the NRL grand final.

Then today was a lazy relax day as we all got sunburnt yesterday

and they were going home tonight. We have just dropped them back at

the air port and they are reluctantly on their way home to cold old Victoria... :o(
