When I was pushing DD out the midwife said "now's the time to ask for that diamond ring you've been wanting" I didn't think it was very funny - jewellery couldn't have been further from my mind at that point! When we saw her the next day in the nicu she mentioned it again and the Bear said "that's all sorted". The first time his parents came to visit after we brought DD home, they gave me an antique diamond eternity ring - Bear's grandfather gave it to his grandmother when she had FIL, and she gave it to MIL when she had the Bear. So it's a family heirloom and Beth is named after its first owner, Bear's grandmother!
Happy Birthday Shel
Well Shel is playing Mario Cart I might go sit and make annoying distracting comments (like screaming, "watch out watch out! oh bugger you fell!" and then laughing my bum off
PMSL! That's the idea!
Mel, I hope A, M and the dog recover - sounds like it's a war zone in your place today!
Squiddy - I'm not thinking about more kids yet, although I think the Bear is! Just trying to get used to having one little one.... but eventually I think I would like one more. I think the Bear wants two more. O and no c-sections here so far (touch wood)....
Thanks for the tips on the BBs.... did express between feeds last night but its hard to find time when she's feeding every two hours! so instead I think I will just put her on that BB every feed, for most of the feed one time, and then only for a little bit the next time if that makes sense.... anyhoo should express some more cause I'm short of EBM atm.
But no time now, gotta get her up, feed her and take her up for her 6-8 week appointment.
everyone.... catch up later!
