My local shops are 3 minutes walk down the road, & if I walk down without them, I'm in a lot of trouble! Most of the people who work there know us by now, and they all have to have a look and make sure "their" babies are doing well, and ask how I'm doing.

One lady I see quite often asks me which one is hers, as she is not going to have grandkids, so mine are her substitute. I love the fact that I can make everyones' day!

When I was in hospital waiting to give birth, I too had a lot of midwives popping their heads around to see when everything was going to happen' cause it was getting to the end of the shift & they didn't want to miss out!
