This afternoon when Luci arrived home, her Mum relayed this funny story…

Lyn takes Thomas and Lachlan shopping with her every Thursday. They usually go and visit Luci’s Grandma (who they call Granma Max) at a nursing home called John Whittle House. They went again today and as they walked up the hall toward my grandmother’s room my Mum warned Thomas about the death of my grandmother’s roommate – it happened over the weekend. She said, “Now you know that Grace has gone to Heaven and so she doesn’t share the room with Granma Max anymore.” Thomas replied in his usual matter-of-fact way, “Well, I wish she had waited to die until I got here because I would’ve liked to watch and see what happened so that I know what happens for when I die.”

Luci was speechless but when she told me the story I thought it was hilarious!!

Now, where do we order these from??? They’d be quite handy I’d imagine….

Another great comic from the Joy of Tech…

(Please forgive the corny title – Luci suggested it!!)

Luci is pregnant and had her first ultrasound today to determine dates and health. I thought someone had slipped the radiographer $100 to play a practical joke on us – I was barely in the room, getting Thomas and Lachlan into place and shutting the door, when the lady says, “Is this your first scan for this pregnancy?” Luci answers, “Yes” and the lady replies with, “There’s two babies here!!”

My first thought was that she was joking, but a look at the computer screen revealed she wasn’t.

We were both shocked (and probably still are!!) but are gradually becoming accustomed to the idea. Of course, we have some little worries also, as apparently there can be greater chance of complication with twins, and we all know Luci’s history.

Twin A and Twin B (this is how the doctors refer to them) are due for delivery on 16 January 2009, but again, with Thomas being 5 weeks early and Lachlan being 4 weeks early, we’re guessing it’ll be much sooner than 2009.
