Buzz Lightyear – to the rescue
I came home this afternoon and was having a little snooze on the lounge. The kids thought it was funny to get their Buzz Lightyear blanket and dress me up – then they had to have a go too.

A Baby (x2) Bump – 27 Weeks
Here is the latest photo in the series – 27 Weeks.
We have had ultrasound scans and doctor visits this week – and discovered that Twin A (the boy) weighed 1016 grams on Monday, whilst Twin B (the girl) weighs 798 grams. Our girl is a little bit small, but that could be explained by things such as all the data is based on single births, girls are generally smaller, the girl might not have been fertilised till sometime after the boy was fertilised etc. The doctors are going to keep monitoring, with fortnightly scans to track her growth.

Hi Everyone
Well I am now 27 weeks and am still feeling well. No real complaints thus far!! I am of course growing larger by the day but I’m sure this is a good thing! I am eating non stop and drinking more milk than I ever have before! I am still sleeping well (which I thought would not last this long!) The babies seem to nuzzle into some internal abyss which is fine with me!
As the arrival time draws closer (hopefully 9 weeks +) I am starting to feel a little nervous about things we may need to still get and about the new dynamics of the Gray family! I am still at work for 4 more weeks which takes my mind off things a bit! This week was my first week back after 2 weeks holidays so it was quite tiring!
We are looking forward to the twins arrival but don’t want them to arrive too early. Thomas and Lachlan are really enjoying feeling the babies kicking and moving around and they always have lots of questions about what’s going to happen! It is lovely to see their smiling faces when they feel their brother or sister move around when they hear their big brothers!
Hopefully I am still feeling this good next time I blog.

Personalised Plates
Tonight I ordered some personalised plates for the new Tarago. Once they arrive, I’ll take some nice photos of the Tarago for everyone to see.
A Baby (x2) Bump – 26 Weeks
OK, so we missed last week’s photos as we were away, but here are the 26 Week photos.
We also went out to the movies tonight, so thought we’d include a photo of Luci looking radiant.

A Trip to Katie & Greg’s House
We went to Katie & Greg’s house for the long weekend. It was to be a relaxing weekend for Luci and a car hunting one for me.
I can report that the weekend was successful – Luci had a relaxing weekend and I found a car. Also, the boys got to see Katie & Greg’s Sydney house and their “secret garden”, we went to the Sydney Aquarium (and found Thomas St along the way – much to Thomas’ delight!!), went out for lunches and dinners, played the Nintendo Wii, watched Wall-E at the movies. Oh, and I got to go to the Apple Store.
We had a great few days with Katie & Greg. Hope you enjoy the photos, don’t forget you can click on them to see them at a larger size in a fancy lightbox window.
Oh, and here’s some photos of the new Tarago – I’ll take some nicer ones later on for you all to see.
Can I whack it???
The boys found a little praying mantis in the back yard today. Thomas quickly found his toy golf club to poke it with and, from his medical kit, a pair of surgical tweezers to use for inspecting it. Thomas was being very gentle looking at it and wanted to feed it a leaf.
Lachlan, on the other hand, was quite the opposite. He came up with his little cricket bat and asked,
Can I whack it???
