Storm, what's a granuloma? Poor Angel, it doesn't sound nice
About the booby juice, well that's a bummer. But gee, it's like you say, things could be worse. You and Angel are healthy and that's what counts.
Charly's mum - has Charly been in a sleeping bag all along? I'm thinking of getting Natty into one when the weather cools down a bit. We wrap her, which she likes, but she unwraps herself overnight - I often find her spreadeagled in the morning, arms and legs everywhere, with the useless wrap underneath her! Fortunately, our bedrooms hold the heat (didn't think I'd ever say that after those hot days we had...) and she hasn't gotten too cold (I hope).
Does anyone belong to a mothers group? I've put my name down for one and haven't gotten a call yet. I'm hoping it'll happen soon - I really need the reassurance, am pretty insecure about this whole parenting thing...
