    Morning

    We did get some sleep not much though. Think I underestimated how tough going it's going to be. It will hopefully be worth it though.

    Thank you again

    Today has been mainly sitting around and waiting. Youngest is napping (I'm sure I'll regret that at bedtime!)

    So I feel a bit at a loss of how to keep busy!

    Hi WB :) Hope things are going OK. Can you switch off enough to read when DD2 is asleep or have 40 winks yourself ;) Are you in a side room as well? I declined the offer of a room once when I was in hospital because I would have been bored rigid. The ward was actually quite fun to be on with some real characters who kept me more than entertained. :D

    Hope you get home at a decent hour. xx

    I'm not keen on side rooms, I was in one after DD was born and it was really boring - even with a newborn to look after! I didn't really have any visitors until late afternoon and the highlight of the day was a nurse coming in to take my BP :rotfl: Fingers crossed the Dr will be with you soon and then you can head back home. Is the after school club open quite late or do you start to panic about getting back in time? x

    Evening. Just checking in.

    It's got pretty tough but hoping it will settle again.

    There's been some coffee bought. Definitely needed a lot more than I have had. It's a rollercoaster and not fun.

    Anyway not moaning just wanted to check in. Hope all is well x

    I Believe.....
    That it isn't always enough, to be forgiven by others.
    Sometimes, you have to learn to forgive yourself.

    Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery
    Today is a gift. That's why it is called the present.

    happiness isn't achieved by getting extra things,
    but by getting rid of the things that make you unhappy
