Updating on everything

Here's a brief update since the last post before Christmas:

* Well we had the Hutchison's down for Christmas and we got to meet the new addition to the family little Maddie who is incredibly cute.
* Regan celebrated her 25th birthday party as much as she could as Little Monty is developing into quite a pain in the butt even before he is out (update will follow).
* Steven has had an offer on Joe's business, were in a determining the numbers phase.
* The house.....oh the house well we were told before Christmas that the land would be ready before the end of the year (yeah right), I rang the real estate the other day for some info as 3/4 of the stage 1 has been developed but not our block yet. I was told that they had a 5 1/2- 6 week delay with Barwon Water at the start as they (Barwon) wanted to upgrade the pumping station from 100houses to 750house therefore more planning needed to be done - were they only working 1 day a week to delay for 6weeks. Then the developers had their 3 week break over Christmas so a 9 week delay in total. I was also told that we "SHOULD" get the titles in April quick calculation our house should be done by October...hopefully.
* Now Little Monty- at 20week scan showed abnormality with his kidneys and his bladder, we were sent up to the Womens in Melb for further scans and test. Had an amnio done not long after that, more scans, more scans, more scans results showing that we have a posterior urethral valve blockage causing swelling, scarring and blockages that get periodically relieved every now and then. More scans, more scans resulting in his bladder being drained twice with giant needles. I cant do anything for about 48hrs after each needle for risk or preterm labour or miscarriage. Next appt is scheduled for the 16th of Feb and talking to a Urologist from the Childrens to discuss procedures and what they might be doing after he is out, they wont let me go full term so they are looking at inducing me around the 32-34weeks gestation which really isnt that far as I'm 30weeks + 2days now (09/02/2010). I was told as 2nd last appt that they will keep him up there until he is full term definately but it may also depend on how he is going developmental and possible recovery from surgery wise.
So all of this has happened in the last 2 1/2 months and who says pregnancy is easy....
We will try to keep everyone update if not here possibly on facebook.
Cheers
Steven and Regan
