    I see - ours has rooms for Labour/Delivery/Recovery and you only go on the ward afterwards if it's very busy or you stay in for a while afterwards.

    Ya know, it dawned on me the other week that I didn't know how old you were. You're only nine months older than me but I thought it was more (on account of you having Charlie, I think). I am really struggling with the fact I'm 26 next week and don't feel in the slightest bit "grown up" :o I guess I have all the grown up things (baby, house, car, job etc etc) but just don't feel it.. :cool:

    Most people think I'm older than I actually am so I'm used to it. My friend and her DH thought I was about 33 when I asked them a few weeks back (I'm not 27 yet! :() I don't it changes - I still don't feel old enough to be in charge and responsible for 2 little beings let alone a house, car etc
    :heart2: Charlie born Aug 2007 :heart2: Reece born May 2009
    :heart2:Toby born Apr and taken by SMA Dec 2012
    :heart2: Baby boy failed M/C @ 20 wks Oct 2013 :heart2: Sienna born Oct 2014

    Bruno and Mazcabs: have you checked whether your library is subscribed to ancestry.com? I just remembered that ours does so might be worth checking.

    They are but think you have to buy vouchers to print off stuff. I did what Bruno suggested and looked up one of my ancesters unusual names on Google and found someone that had a website with all their family tree stuff on and managed to get loads of info off there.. cheating I know but very :money:...gonna try some more when I get time.

    can you email or use a usb stick on the library comp? you could print to file, saving on stick/email file then print at home :money:

    :grouphug: This is why I am already writing my birth plan for next time. Apparently it was so important to weigh Alice that they did it before I even saw her. (And it was apparently more urgent to put a pampers nappy on her than hand her over too.) I am also planning to thoroughly brief OH on all my preferences.

    My parents were both born 1956, ILs 1960, OH and I 1985, My sister ruins it a bit because her OH is18mths older than her :naughty:

    Dad 1958, Mum 1960, Not sure about IL's :o, OH 1982 & me 1983 (11 months between us)

    just having lunch, mummy friends gone - kinda glad to get house back :o think its cos I'm tired & irritable today
    A very busy Yummy Mummy to a 1 year old gorgeous boy :smileyhea

    Was going to suggest what Sami said but I see she beat me to it. If you have anyone famous then they're worth a google too.
