For the time being, the couple have their hands full with the boys. "Threenagers are tough so they'll do for now," Liss wrote.

"Between us, I have done two pregnancy tests this year already as I haven't had a period for 8 or 9 weeks. Blood test ruled out pregnancy recently," she said.
"All it can be put down to is stress and being non compliant with my medications (thyroid etc)."

The past few months have been a big time of change for the Rawson-Ruthven family.
They recently moved from Melbourne to the Gold Coast where both Liss and Bryce have found new jobs and been adjusting to their new life.
Liss is known for her very down-to-earth and relatable nature. When asked by one follower if she was truly happy, Liss gave a very "honest" answer.
"We have been having a few harder moments of late. I've mentioned before our communication needs work and there have been typical external stress factors, just like what everyone goes through that have put strain on our relationship," she said.

"Bryce gets frustrated easily, I get stubborn and love to give the silent treatment.
"I attribute a lot of late to my health and to Bryce's new job – a lot of changes put stress on many relationships."
But Liss said she and Bryce are stronger than ever, and were simply dealing with the challenges of everyday life.
