Look who else came to visit!

Chaz and her darling little man Dante came down to visit us!! Between the porcelin hugging and explosive nappy changes courtesy of 'gastroispickedupfromtheairportis'  the three of us- chaz, katie and I, and our three boys- dante, eamon and levi, had a great time catching up! Many a day was spent discussing the challenges of sleeping and eating- who knew that babies slept in 45min sleep cycles and pureed gravy meat mixed with vegies made a great meal!  hehehehheehhe! We did also marevl at our darling husbands, one of which put up a patio while his wife was in tassie, and at the joys of the post baby bod- (with the exception of Katie of course who looks like she stepped out of a add for the worlds most perfect mother :- ) ) .  All in all though we had a marvelous time- thanks for coming down honey! Looking forward to seeing you in December! All our love x mmwah x

Afternoon Play Time



Hello blog world!!

So sorry we haven't been around! Its been a very tiring few weeks, Levi decided he wanted to get much bigger than 10lb7oz and decided to wake up and feed every two hours for two weeks!! We were both  zombies but i am pleased to report that we have now commenced the farax cereal world, mum's on fenegruek for her milk supply and we are sleeping more now too!  We had a weigh in and tipped the scales at 11lbs 1/2oz and grew to 61cm long! So, another speed bump done and dusted until the next growth spurt! :)

It was my birthday on Sunday and Des spoilt me once again with a digital single lense translucent camera!! Very flash, just need to learn how to use it now!!  The following photos are of Levi and his first attempts at food, i was very sneaky and gave his usual medications to him at the same time and it seems to work!

Love to you all xoxoxo

Bluey Boys!

We've finally had a few hot days! Des came home from work wearing his bluey and coincidently Levi was wearing his too! So cute i had to take some photos! Bring on the hot weather and holidays in Esperance!! xoxo

Look how much I've grown!

I am now 56cm long and weigh 9lb8oz! I am 18 and a half weeks old and smiling and talking! Mum says I'm a very happy boy and in the last week i have even started sleeping from 7:30 pm till 2am and then till 6 am!! I am lifting my head up and dad says I am getting strong like him! I am still a 'Neville-no-neck' and getting fatter every day :) Love hugs and kisses to you all xoxoxo

Aunty Carmen and SNOW!!

Aunty Carmen has come all the way from sunny perth to visit us! A trip to the snow was on the cards and since it has been -1-11 most days we were in luck!! We had a great time building snow men and falling knee deep into the big white drifts! It was Levi's first time however he didn't seem too impressed and slept the whole time!! :)  Thanks Aunty Carmen for all your cuddles mmwah I Love You xoxx

Operation Levi!

We made it!!

On Sunday we travelled to Hobart in preparation for Levi's bilateral inguinal hernia repair. It was a big deal for the little guy because of his prematurity and as one specialist put it 'any surgery at this age is a big deal!!' So after an agonising 7 hour fast- agonising as our little man still feeds every 3 hours- we handed him over to the intensivist and nervously waited for the call that he was out! We had been informed that Levi would need to be ventilated for a couple of days and therefore tube fed once again so when we got the call to say he was out and breathing on his own you can imagine our joy!!! The surgeon and intensivists were extremely impressed that he was able to recover so well considering his lungs are still so immature!! What a little legend!!!  6 hours later he was crying and breast fed no dramas and two days later we got to go home! Although we loved showing him off to all the doctors and nurses who saved his life (they were stoked to see him again :-) ) we are so glad to be home! What a gracious God we have, He continues to guide and protect us and blesses us in so many ways!

With love Des, Sylv and Levi xooxxox
