    SJ - meant to say before, you commented on how well Laura looked after giving birth just 4 wks ago....you'll be even more impressed when you hear about her labour. Baby stopped her bladder from emptying....which then got too full to let baby out! She was in full labour for 3 days in excrutiating pain at home (even tho her waters had gone!) coz the midwife who examined her told her it would get much worse and not to come in until then. She thought she needed a massive number 2 and couldn't go....her DH was getting her prune juice for 2 days! When they drained her bladder there was 2 litres of urine and baby's head was there ready! MW was so shocked she forgot to give her gas and air (way too late for anything else!) so did it all with no relief other than a local right at the end. Poor Bella's head was so stretched coz she'd been in the birth canal for so long and they both had to stay in for 5 days with Bella in special care for 3 of them.
    Makes my labour look a breeze in comparison lol

    Evening all..

    Hope everyone is well :) *hugs* as required :o

    Had a letter from Rhys' consultant about the latest blood test. Results are once again either good or "unremarkable", and we can reduce his meds yet again. Down to 0.2ml twice a day - not too convinced what difference less than half a ml is going to have! - for a week, then stop completely :D :j Still on special milk, one lifelong med and another for his kidneys but we're hoping to reduce that one again once we see the kidney specialists on 26th :)

    Work is manic but all the plates are still spinning (for now!) :) Have been getting wound up by my replacement not doing things [STRIKE]as quickly and efficiently[/STRIKE] as I used to so been a bit ranty today! :o Also, am having a change of workwear - switching from formal office wear to jeans and poloshirts - so my mission tonight is to find totally plain black jeans :cool:

    Maz – I use Tiger Balm, not cheap but it’s the only thing that works on insect bites for me – it’s all natural ingredients as well.
    Hello Beenie and Weezl
    Eeek for your friend Gill
    SM – I’m all sorted for Thursday, tickets purchased and busy trying to work out what to put in Katie’s bag. I have decided that breakfast is being taken with us and consumed on the train.
    Hugs for everyone.
    No work for me until Friday, then it's only the morning :)

    MDW, we've found tiger balm in the pound shop before now :)
    A very proud Mummy to 3 beautiful girls... I do pity my husband though, he's the one to suffer the hormones...
    Krystal is so smart and funny and wonderful I am struck dumb in awe in her presence.
