This is going to sound mooshy, but because HotI, Bella and I all shared our pgs and then HBed within a couple of weeks of each other, I drew a huge amount of strength from knowing both of you were 'there'. I feel incredibly lucky to have had such great HB sisters! .
Not mooshy at all- it makes perfect sense. I will probably think of the three of you 'HB sisters' at some point to give me strength too.

Oh Cassius, I had to watch your montage again So beautiful, and it made me teary again.

Bella- I live in the Far North Coast of NSW. We live on a hill so we are safe, but there are a lot of road closures.

My back-up MW was flooded in today! She said if I went in to labour, she could hike across a couple of paddocks and wait on the road for someone (like my mum) to pick her up. I am not worrying about it. I am not expecting our bub to turn up for another couple of weeks, and I doubt that we will still be having flooding issues at that point. We will probably be back to our usual heat wave weather! If I went in to labour while my MW's were flooded in, I could still get to the hospital. All roads to the local hospital are clear but I really don't want to entertain that thought.
