Heading into 27 weeks

Well folks we have made it to 27 weeks and we are thrilled. This Friday we get another ultra sound which will be the first time in months since Liam has seen the baby. Suzer is awaiting her newest arrival. Christy is holding on tightly and awaiting to find out how long she can keep her little one safe (she is 20 wks and is already dilating). So to all the babies to come we welcome you with open arms!

Good luck Suzer were all pulling for you. Literally cuz we all know that baby doesn't want to leave!!!!

Oh the fun

I just love my girls. Yesterday was Roses 5th Birthday. She and I played all day (She was the queen for the day). That night we went out to dinner with Memaw and Poppop and Aunt Sara and Uncle Seth and Leah and Eli. Barbie was the theme for the evening. She had a good time and went to bed really easily. I of course developed a problem. I began bleeding not a lot but enough to cause problems. So Liam and I end up in the hospital and Rose goes to Grandmas. The doctors can find no reason as to why I was bleeding. It stopped while I was there and so we went home and went to bed. Today no issues so on we go. We are now 26 wks pregnant and awaiting for the baby to make it and to grow and hold on. So baby number two is following after her big sister. My girls are wild ride! The above photo is of one ot the gifts Rose recieved

My nose my enemy

I have developed the cold from hell. Okay its not that bad but it does make my nose bleed and my face ache. I am up all night trying to breath. Not only that but the heart burn is burning a whole in my esophagus. So sleeping isn't my favorite thing. So to I pray for a nice sleep filled evening cuz trust me I am getting no sleep here.

Ps,

Its finally raining in Adelaide so our Aussie friends are doing better!

Sorry I'm back

Please forgive the absence of Mrs. Morgan she has been moving home and purchasing a car.

Sorry gang life has been up in the air for over two weeks now. We moved into a great townhouse in the country 9 mins from my parents. We also bought a used mini van. Rose is still not in school due to a lack of a second vehicle for Liam. She is taking it well (she is driving me crazy). Baby is now 25 weeks old and still chugging along. We are now guessing that she will join the family at about 32 weeks. So not much more to go. February will be the time to get the babies room up and going. She is still missing everything. Liam is enjoying his work again which is wonderful. The commute is a bit long but it's worth it to live in a small country town. I am just playing mom and running back and forth from the doctors. I go to each doctor every two weeks so I am there a lot. Vision is starting to go in my left eye nothing I have noticed but the test show some deterioration. So all and all we are hanging on. We will have our phone hooked up next week and the computer well today is the first day its been working. So we should be in the swing of technology again very soon

Hey my friends we are looking to you! Yes you stop looking around. Do have unwanted baby stuff laying around collecting dust? Would you love it to go to a good family? Well we are in need of everything! The only thing I am hoping to buy new is rocker for the babies room. So send us your stuff.

My brand of crazy

I am now cranky! Apparently I can only handle so much and then I go a little mean. So if you have spoken to me recently and I sounded well nasty that's cuz I am. I apologize for my brand of snotty. I am tired and not feeling well and all of those things have mixed into a lovely cocktail of aggression.

I sorry so sorry...

The week of fun!?

Beware I am complaining in the post below

-----------------------------------------------

I now declare 22 weeks of pregnancy the miserable period. Our darling baby girl has made herself very comfortable right on top of my pelvic bone making it difficult to sit or walk. Not only that but she has the kicking skills of a professional footy player.

The meds I am taking to combat my on going illness is causing many unwanted symptoms. My knee is swelling and my feet feel as if I have been hit with a taser gun repeatedly. The good news so far is no permeate vision loss yet. They are now guessing they will take the baby anywhere between 30 wks and 36 wks so not to bad.

Rose has decided to give us a crash course on getting up every few hours. She seems to being going to through another pattern of waking up at night and wanting things.

Baby thinks getting up to pee all night and feeling sick to my stomach is oh so much fun. She takes these moments to let me know she is all good and ready to play.

I have swollen glands around my jaw line and I have cold sorer which is making me miserable.

Okay I am all done complaining. Perhaps week 23 will be better?

Happy New Years!

Happy New Years

from Liam, Morgan, Rose and baby yet to be named!

We hope to see all of you in the coming year. Okay maybe not the John in England or the Australian crew (I am never flying again), but the rest of you. We love and miss you all even if we can't see you as often as we would like!

It's a Girl!

all home and safe

We are all home and safe!

Life goes on.

Moving home is the best thing that could happened for us. Then why is it that I still feel so loanly? My parents have been wonderful to us and yet I still feel the need to be on pins and needles even though its nothing they have done. I just feel I need to constently be on Rose to clean up and sit still and not move around. During the day its just Rose me and the inside baby. I have no car and the weather is weird so mostly we are stuck inside the house. I can't seem to get her to play by herself and she seems to have forgotten how to listen. I miss having my own place where if I want to leave it a mess I do. I could have people over anytime I wanted to. Here I feel like a child and I don't want to mess the place up so I don't feel like I can have people over because it isn't my house and what if they mess something up and I can't clean it up in time? Silly worries but worries all the same. I am starting in on the worse part of my illness. I have to take medication that cause me not to be able to feel my hands, feet or mouth and makes me feel weird all the time. Spinal taps are still in my future even though they aren't sure how they are going to do them since they tried 10 times last friday and it never did work. I have to much scar tissue. Then theres the matter of the growing baby who now plays all night long and loves it when I roll over. The baby is getting bigger and I seem to be slowing down. I have pregnancy symptoms and PTC symptoms. I can't seem to tell if I am coming or going anymore. I don't have an illness that you can see but trust me I am suffering. My head hurts nearly every minute and Rose does not have a mute button. I am need Liam to join us. Not that I want him to have to take over everything its just nice to have a partner who understands and has been there with me before. I need the next few months to go better then the last few.

So this is Christmas

Its nice to be home!

need I say more?

Thank you easter bunny *bock* *bock*

life in the slow lane

Nothing to report!

I am a bit trapped with not a lot of money and no way to get out.

But we have a plan now or at least I hope we do.

1. Car (not to expensive)
2. Place to live (not to expensive)
3. School for Rose

in Australia
1. Pack
2. Sell everything
3. Finally reunite

Life is stressful but we still love you

Ps, Rose was evaluated and I was told she could easily be placed in first grade. They were quite impressed! She is already where they are at 3 months of schooling. I will however be placing her back in Kindergarten for the emotional stability. Which school not sure yet.

Oh the places you'll go

and the things you will eat!

SO far I have eaten
My moms homemade spaghetti
Taco Bell
Arbys
Eat-n-park
and had cake for breakfast

The spinal tap was a bitch. It took two hours and 14 (3in needles) and countless smaller needles to get the tap done. I didn't cry once but I did swear a few times. I look like a human pin cushion. Today I am trying to recover and reconnect with lost friends. Rose is bored (whats new). Its 60 some degrees and raining not typical for Pittsburgh in the winter. We expect snow on Saturday.

We have reconnected with my sweet Eli and bad little Leah. Rose and Eli fought twice violently. Poor Eli got bitten twice by the evil Rose. She has not done that in years not sure what got into her. Leah is so funny. She won't let anyone near her food. She will spear you if you get to close.

We have been invited to two parties on the same day so let the fun begin! I have spoken to one school and I am awaiting the return call from the principal who probably will give me a hard time about Roses age. Nobody wants to believe a 4 year old can read. I am telling you there are tons of kids out there who can do why not her!

Well I am going to go my back is killing me. If you didn't receive a call from me it may mean I have lost your number so just drop me a line and I will call you soon.

Back in the USA

Were back...

Hey quick note to say we made it. Not without its bumps and bruises. I threw up off and on from Melbourne to Pittsburgh. My parents were called and met us at the gate (something not normally done these days). We made it through the weekend seeing most of my moms side of the family. Monday I went to the Neurologist and will have a spinal tap on Tuesday morning. I have also been moved over to a high risk OBGYN. The lack of a car and a school for Rose to go to is causing me frustration. Hope to see you soon. I just need a few more days to recover.
