Thanks ladies It has taken me ages to get around to it, but I'm glad I did (thanks Mel ) - it was actually really nice to write it & relive it a bit. I think I might do my other's, just for them to have.

Wow! So beautifully written, and totally riveting. I'm glad I was able to read both parts in one go!
Did you end up curling DD's hair?!
Lol, nope, and didn't make it to the comp the next day either. Pie had low BSL and spent a few days in SCU before we could go home. Panda's dance teacher curled her hair for her

great birth story. Thanks for sharing!
Love that your DD was on the phone..lol. Did she say anything about it after?
She actually didn't want to talk about it much... I don't know how it sounded from her end, or if it freaked her out (I hope not ) I asked her about it & she just kind of shrugged & pulled a face.
