Jack Thomas Murray is here!

On the 29 June 2007 at 2.26pm we welcomed Jack Thomas (we ditched the Cooper and went with Thomas!) Murray into our family!
He weighed 3465g, was 52cm long and had a head circumference of 36cm...and he is beautiful!

I am so, so in love with my precious baby boy and Hannah and Noah adore their little brother.

He is now 3 weeks old and we are slowly trying to establish some kind of routine, but it's early days and we are all adjusting slowly! Here's a photo:

39 weeks today!

I am 39 weeks pregnant today...can't believe we have nearly reached the end of this pregnancy journey and will very soon meet this precious little person who has been growing and developing inside me and is already so much a part of our family!

Hannah and Noah are getting very excited and are constantly hugging my tummy...Noah likes to call me "big belly"! And Hannah keeps telling me what she is going to do to help out - she is going to be absolutely wonderful!

Needless to say, Hannah is wanting a sister and Noah is wanting a brother!!! But I am sure that once Hannah meets her new little sibling she will be smitten...I hope!

Jonathon has been a part of the Bega Valley Rally all day and has had a great day. As tomorrow is a Public Holiday we are all looking forward to a family day and are thinking about taking the kids to see "Shrek 3" at the movies.

The kids and I went to lunch at mum and dads and then had a relaxing afternoon...Hannah has a cough and says her throat is sore - hope she is not coming down with a cold!

It has been very cold here over the last couple of days - we did have some sunshine today, though, which was very nice!

Am wondering constantly who this baby will look like - Hannah or Noah, Jonathon or I...maybe a little bit of all of us! Still very active in there despite the limited amount of room. I have a little wriggler in there!

Little Jack - mummy cannot wait to meet you, precious boy...continue to grow strong and enjoy your last week/days...you have some people out here that can't wait to hold you and love you...

Love Mummy

Today we went bush!!!

31 weeks pregnant

Today we had a "family day" and Jonathon decided we should pack up some lunch and go driving through the bush...well, we all had a ball!

We took his work ute and did some 4 wheel driving until we came to the most beautiful creek where we decided to stretch our legs and have lunch.

We saw 2 large goanna's - Hannah and Noah thought they were great! We kept our distance though...their claws looked incredibly sharp and fierce...and apparently they are FAST when they want to be.

We then continued on to some cascades which were beautiful. The hike down to the water was fun, the trek back up was not so much fun! Especially for this 30 week pregnant woman!

We saw plenty of horses on farms (much to Hannah's absolute delight) and Noah was such a trooper. He took a fall on some rocks, took skin off his elbow, but didn't miss a beat - we have one tough little cookie!

Unfortunately we forgot the camera, so no piccies - bugger! Next time....

I have my 30 week doctors appointment tomorrow...can't wait to see "Jack" again...Jonathon is coming to meet this new doctor. I think he is wonderful, hope Jonathon likes him!

Hannah, Noah and Jack???

29 weeks pregnant

Hannah - Born 8 October 2001 - Our gorgeous, cheeky, funny, independent little girl who all of a sudden had become a "big school kid"...

Hannah started Kindergarten this year at our local Catholic School and she is loving it - thank goodness!!!



Noah - Born 7 March 2003 - Our adorable, mischevious, soft, but strong little boy who loves his "mama"!!!


Noah is at Pre-School this year without Hannah and after an initial adjustment period is now making friends and starting to enjoy himself - thanks goodness!!!

And we are expecting a baby boy in June...the 17th...we have already chosed his name -

Jack Cooper Murray

I am 30 weeks pregnant today!

Easter is Good!

We LOVE Easter in this house!!! The lot of us are chocoholics...dark, light, white chocolate - it all tastes sooooo good.

Hannah and Noah are enjoying the continual stream of family members popping over bearing their chocolate goodies...rabbits, eggs, ducks etc. And tomorrow - well! We are having an Easter egg hunt...even I am excited and I'll be hiding them!!! LOL

We DO understand the true meaning of Easter and yesterday we all enjoyed our Good Friday fish lunch at mum and dads, but boy do we love those easter choccies!
