Macca- didn't end up doing the hospital thing yet. I want Joel to be able to come and at the moment he is very full on with work and by the end of the day he is just too tired. ATM he is prepping for the Solomans. Only going for 4 days though which is good.

julesy- Thats good that you went and saw family....you sometimes just need that close family support so that you don't feel like your going mental huh?
My experience is quite the opposite actually, all of the girls that I know that have had babys recently have all had boys and all of their partners are in defence except one! As for the "BIG A" situation...Joel is raring to go! He can't wait to get another trip and get over there. When we found out on the news we both just sat there, stunned. Although, like I said to him, it was bound to happen. It's not like us being over there was going to be incident free. I just really feel for that poor man's family.
