Here she is.....

Little Addison Ivy was born on Friday morning, just before 8am weighing 8pounds and 5 ounces. A bit smaller than I'm used to, but so much easier to carry around! All went well with the delivery and we are all now home and getting used to our surroundings. Can't believe that I now have 3 girls and 1 boy. Uneven numbers I know!!, but feeling very blessed right now.

This is it!

I basically never allow myself to be photographed while pregnant, but I thought I'd post this before picture - and obviously a later will come next week. I am 39 weeks on Friday and will be having my c-section on Friday unless the baby decides it can't wait till then. Since we don't know what we are having - it will be a day of surprises: Girl or Boy? Big or little? Names?? and ofcourse my only request is that the baby is healthy and that the operation goes well. Will keep you posted.

Daddy's Home

After his two week trip overseas to Sweeden, England and Ireland - Dad returned home safe and sound. He had a great trip and luckily we were able to speak to him almost everyday. I was impressed that he took some pictures - so here are a few. He started off in Copenhagen, Denmark (which he thought was beautiful). Then made the drive through the tunnel and over the bridge to Sweeden (The home of IKEA). You can literally see from one country to the other. After staying in Helsingborg for a few days and being welcomed into the IKEA family!!!! he headed back to Denmark and flew to London. He spent a great weekend in London on tours and bumping into some old friends at church in Hyde Park on Sunday. The last week was spent visiting numerous IKEA stores in both Ireland and England. It was a great learning experience and he even got to catch up with an Uncle he had never met. He promises me that I can come next time!!

June/July School Holidays

This school holidays we spent with Dad away on his overseas trip. They were very relaxing and mostly enjoyed lazy mornings, getting chores done, having friends over and a few trips to the movies. Mum and the girls went and saw Hannah Montana while Lachlan had fun at a week long soccer clinic. We managed to see Ice Age 3 together which was pretty funny. Today is our last day and we are going down to the waterfront at Manly. The weather has been great - who could ask for more? Oh yes, and Dad came home!!!
