Welcome Allison and little Anais. Sounds like you had a bit of a hard birth. Poor little Anais having the cord wrapped around her neck. I am glad she is ok. And you loosing so much blood. It must of taken alot out of you. My mother lost alot of blood when my sister was born. It was due to the placenta detatching from the uterus wall. She woke up one morning in bed laying ina huge puddle of blood, and you can imagine how much a mattress soaks up. My sister was born via emergency c-section at 36 weeks. She was healthy and strong but it was touch and go for my mum. Anyway...my mum had lost alot of blood and I think it took her about 6 months to get all her energy back. But... you probably didn't want to know all that, LOL. Can't wait to get to know you

Kayla is doing well. I got her up this morning though and she started to vomit, although nothing was coming out because her tummy was empty. Am hoping it was just due to being very hungry and that she isn't coming down with something. She has kept her milk down so far and seems happy so I will just keep an eye on her.

My Oma (dad's mum) is coming over from Germany tomorrow morning. She is 76 this yeara nd my Aunty wanted to put her in a nursing home. She is a little forgetful, but is definately not needing to go into a nursing home. I think becasue she doesn't really have anyone where she lives (besides the residents in the unit block), she is just going crackers from being alone too much. She has always been up and about and always travelling her whole life, and has always ,lived in a house with a garden and always had something to do. So I think being cooped up in a unit on her own makes you deteriorate quickly iykwim. Anyway....dad said that is not going to happen to his mum, and he wants to care for her untill the end. In th meantime we arte going to put soem life back into her. I haven't seen her in 7 years and for my sister it has been 11 years. She will be staying 3 months at a time, untill dad gets her permanant residency (which is ALOT of paper work). It will be nice to see her, and I am sure she is very excited to see us all again and to meet her first little great grandchild (Oh and to meet DH too)
