Pictures of the girls

Stephanie was passed out on the lounge


I took this one of me and maka


Stephanie can already hold her head up

Makayla and I were having some fun on the grass - she loves going outside


I think Makayla loves her new sister...
Good evening! It's been a while since I have updated, So I thought I should. Life has been pretty hectic atm, lots of appointments and stuff with the girls and myself. Life has improved so much. The last three weeks we're hell with Stephanie. We didn't know what was wrong. She would basically scream and cry whenever she was laying flat. It was bad. We thought it was colic, coz steph seemed to have trouble bringing wind up. So we tried stuff for that. It didn't work. We then put her on losec and reflux formula to see if it was reflux. We think it could of been a little bit of that, but she still didn't really improve. So three weeks after she had STILL been bad, I was ready to loose it. I ended up deciding to go onto antidepressants again. When i was at the appointment for that, Stephanie was screaming the WHOLE time! The doctor then said "get a urine sample" It was then discovered the next day that she had a urine infection - oh thank god in a way (that we found out what was wrong) she has been STACKS better now. Shes had antibiotics. She has got to have a ultrasound on Monday just to check her kidneys are ok and it's not urine reflux.
In other news. Makayla is starting daycare two days a week next week! I am going to miss her sooooo much, but I hope it will help her. She has been really slow at learning new things and isn't walking yet (some of that is to do with her being premie) Anyhoo, I think it will be really good for her. I am also taking her to playgroup once a week - it's the same one my sister in law goes to too. So she gets to see her cousins!
We all have colds atm, although makayla and I are just getting over it - But steph is coughing and has lost her voice. Michael has just started getting a sore throat. If I get it back I will be soooo shitty!!!
Oooh! And our grass is looking very nice! We have the BEST lawn! It took really well and it's very green too.
Righto Ill talk to you all later! Byes!

Just some new pictures of the girls

This was taken last saturday, I left makayla to eat her pasta herself, so michael and I could go and do more of the turf! We came back to find this. She looks like she enjoyed herself!

Some photos of stephanie taken last night - I suddenly realised, that with steph, I had hardly taken any pictures! It's so hard having two, and I suppose when it's ur first your always taking pictures (hense why I have soooo many of makayla.) So I took some pictures. Finally.

More of our backyard

Yesterday, we rotary hoed our back and front yards, (after the bobcat dude had been in on Wednesday) in preparation for the turf that was coming at 3pm. We started doing that at 9am, with a couple of breaks here and there, and then we continued on at 3pm laying the turf, then we did that until 10pm that night! Having a break for tea etc. We got all the front yard turfed - we did leave some room for a new hedge and garden, and we did the rest of the turf in the backyard. We are getting another two pallets of turf next Saturday so we can lay the rest of the backyard (if it's enough turf for it!) We layed 250square meters yesterday, and next Saturday we are going to lay another 100square meters. What fun! But it looks fantastic!!!!

This is before we got it bobcatted and rotary hoed it and layed the new grass


Which one looks better??? (this is after!)

This is our backyard filled with lovely weeds, n crap! (and our old car!!)


This is after!! Just a tad nicer!!


Like I said we still have a lot of turf to lay, and we have a concrete area going in where the yellow tape and bricks are, and that will prob take a couple of months before we get the concrete area in, but it will be great when it is in! I can't wait!!! :D
