Just wanted to give you all big hugs... especially BW, BG and Green. I feel your pain with the work situation as am in the midst of it myself at the moment. I'm lucky that work itself has been great and really busy to keep my mind a bit distracted from missing my girl. But it is all new to both me and Jasmine. She is doing much better this week as she is finally over that cold - and now I have it! Nevermind, I would rather be sick than watch Jasmine in pain any day.

Re the sugar water - I know that when my sister's baby (born at 24 weeks) was in NICU they used to use sugar water on a dummy as pain relief when they were taking bloods etc... not sure about the laxative effect at all, but they used it a lot as a pain reliever.

Better run as just on my lunch break. One good thing about being at work ladies is looking forward to those big beautiful, heartfelt cuddles that your little one gives you when you see them at the end of your day.
