Just a quick one for Grub...

Congratulations on the wonderful arrival of the little Grubby Bub

ahh, you corrected yourself before I could be a smart (well, Grub) When I read the name as Asthon, I thought, no you wouldn't give me that much amunition, it was just too easy You know what I mean. I thought you might have snuck a bit of the pethadine after all.

in all seriousness, I got back from Townsville and was sooooo anxious to follow your progress and I read and skipped through everything to read your story. Oh man I was in tears with you on that low day you had and felt like you were dreading the experience I had. Though you put a positive spin on it, it was heartbreaking to read you were so sad. i bawled my heart out for all the same things the first chance I got. we couldn't be together at home for 7 days and it really was hard for me being in hospital and DH just visiting. DH had to take on everything and then for another 6 weeks post-op and post baby pretty much. I'm so glad you got your big happy birth experience and everything went to plan with your lovely man being home. I can see both you and his Daddy in him. Your lips definitely. I don't have to tell you to enjoy...you will
