esme - wow, what a fab job you did on the cake! And I LOVE the new pic of Jasper you have up - what a cutie pie, I just want to eat him up! Sounds like he had a great time at his party.

jen - good luck with the needles! I hope Amber handles them ok. Catherine was fine after a few minutes of screaming. DH has been great lately - he is really good with DD, I think he finds it easier now that she is older. Plus she just adores her daddy - she would take him over me any day! Of course that often makes me pretty sad when I get to clean all the dirty nappies, do all the night duty, etc, but I guess that's all part of being a mum; my mum tells me my sister and I used to do the same thing! Your cupcakes looked beautiful!

prama - the nurse did DD's needles one at a time. It was difficult because after the first one she knew what was coming and she didn't like it at all! She sobbed into my shoulder afterwards the poor little thing! I'm glad to hear the party went well.
