And then there were 4....
Much has happened in the past few months but we will begin with the most important news of all. Following our month in Canada, Doug, Nylah and I returned home to life as usual in Melbourne. Only one thing was different.. I could not for the life of me figure out why I couldn't shake the jet lag from the flight over. Even Nylah seemed relatively unscathed, however I seemed to be walking around in a haze for a week or so after we landed. In cleaning out our bathroom cupboard I found an extra pregnancy test and without thinking much of it decided to take it. (There was no other reason to believe that I was pregnant other than a bit of light-headedness). I must have stared at the big + sign for 10 minutes before reality actually sunk in.
I believe the first thought that came to mind was..." hmmm...funny that they would use a positive sign to indicate a negative result". I actually had to google the test result to make sure I was reading the test correctly (the box with directions were long gone). In shock I called Doug and made up some silly excuse for him to come home quickly from work for a minute. We both stood in disbelief as I told him the news. Although the baby was planned, we never thought it would happen so quickly. We were over the moon!
I am now 22 weeks pregnant and it has been confirmed that the first week of July we will be bringing another little girl into the world. Doug has come to terms with the thought of a life full filled with oestrogen... and we could not be happier!

A bit of Musical Fun....
Well some concerts have come through town that we didn't want to miss. The first was an AC/DC concert organized by our friend Rich, one of Doug's University buddies. A big group of about 20 of us took a step back in time and joined about 50,000 other people in Melbourne's Etihad Stadium for a solid night of good old head banging. Although the band is now in their 60's they still had plenty of energy and the mixed crowd of youngster, seniors and everyone in the middle (we felt young) certainly went all out.
That night we had a massive rain storm leaving all of us starting the evening as drowned rats. The look actually worked very well with the environment :o) All in all a great night, and our unborn daughter certainly seemed to respond to the music with plenty of backflips and head banging.
A few weeks later the girls and I hit the town for a ladies night out with George Michael. Now I am sure we all have fond memories from WHAM's "Wake me up before you go go" and "Careless Whispers", to his Faith album, but in his late 40's George Michael's voice is still one of my favorite and his songs just as memorable. Being the very last concert of his world tour, he gave it everything he had with the very last song being Freedom in which we could barely hear his voice above our own. This concert did not disappoint and I sincerely hope it is not the last time I see him live.
Here are some Pic's and a video from our AC/DC concert....
