Lifes bites you on the arse sometimes

Well here I am back to being just me again. I am enjoying the time on my own but also miss company around me. I know there are a lot of questions but for the moment I want to lick my wounds and not have to answer any. Greg was here for a few days but had to head back home for work and Geoff pops in often as does Cassie and the little ones. Kirsten is off doing her own thing travelling about she is in Europe at the moment and loving it. I have a feeling she may settle somewhere over there. The grandkids are beutiful noisy but beautiful. Speaking of grandkids I have Escher for the weekend so I best get of of here and do some shopping for her fav foods.
Have a wonderful Christmas everyone. Miss you all

Baby poop and lots of crying lol

Well Aaron and Joshua arrived on the 23rd of August safe and sound by c-section much to Cassie's happiness 5lb 4 and 6lb 2 I can't remember which was which now. Cassie had a little trouble with bleeding afterwards but settled down quickly. She adjusted well to having two new bundles to look after and surprisingly manages breast feeding well although both boys are also bottle fed. Hungry little piggys always eating. Escher is over the moon with them but comes to stay with Grandma and Gramps for what she calls her "Peace and Quiet time" usually every weekend. I am at Cassies 3 days a week to help her out and she has weekends (Friday - Sunday) just her and the boys so she is coping quite well. The boys are quiet and rarely make a noise, both sleep well and both very healthy. When they are here there are times we forget they are in the house. Both full of smiles and giggles and love to look at the big mirror on the wall so are usually propped in front of it. They are very funny to watch as they tend to fall asleep cuddling one another and really don't like being seperated at too much of a distance from one another.

I hope you are all well and happy and Happy Thanksgiving to all who are about to celebrate it. If I dont get on here before hand have a wonderful christmas and New year as well. I think of you all often and miss you all very much.

Love always Mandy

weddings twins and such

Well here I am again with more news.
I met a wonderful person last year when I was looking for assistance with my sound equipment I use for weddings. His name is Jeremy he is an American who has lived here for many years and we got married in January, he still works for me but without pay lol he now has a job full time during the week working for a sound and lighting stage company. I dont know much about it except we get tickets to some good shows on occasion.
Cassie and twins are doing well she is huge and gets quite a few strange looks when she tells people how far along she is.

Anyway thats my news ALL of it now. I kept this to myself as there were some people I wanted to tell in email first.

OMG

Cassie had some pain and they decided to keep her overnight in hospital and do a full scan the next day, they suspected a possible ectopic pregnancy. Everything is fine and Cassie she was allowed home after the scan results were done.

However the Scan showed that there are definately TWO baby's. Both heartbeats aree strong and healthy. Cassie not a happy person at the moment LOL Grandma in shock and wondering where they are all going to sleep and OMG those sleepless nights and poopy nappys.

Escher at first was happy with the news of a new baby and then she thought about all that would change and decided she didn' want another so she is NOT happy at all with the idea of twins. She wont go near Cassie and Cassie has tried to get her to talk to the baby's but she just says she will spit on them LOL (and she will if not watched carefully).
So it is going to be a long slow process getting Escher to accept the coming changes.

We took her to a baby store in the hope that she might get a little excited but she was only interested in asking when we were going to leave.

I am off to Hawaii in January and will explain all when I can catch you all in chat room I have been in a few times but noone in either of them. I am thinking we MAY leave a little earlier and take Cassie, Escher and the twins to Disneyland in the new year so maybe as it gets closer and if I am able to get the free time it might be incentive to make Escher feel better about the new arivals. Not sure on the long flight with twins however.
Anyway thats the latest catch you all soon I hope.
