Jen, that is SO bad. I can't believe it and no, you shouldn't have those worries.

Can you get your DP onto someone tomorrow and get them to send that information out to you ASAP? They should also fax a copy to the nurse who comes out from the council. I would insist. That is just disgusting. Your whole experience is absolutely terrible in fact. Not even being in the maternity ward. I am stunned. I would be having a breakdown by now. I would definitely get your DP to get onto the hospital first thing in the morning - especially if you're having troubles settling Amber. At least get someone out to see you and someone to send that info out. I realise you can't change what happened but those two things are important. If there is anything I can do, please let me know. Billy and I like driving in the Billy Cart in the first half of the day (well, I love it as it puts him to sleep) so if I can pick anything up from the RWH for you or drop anything off, just let me know. I am heading out your way on Tuesday or Wednesday anyway to see my friend's new tattoo shop. Please, just let me know.

As much as I hate how the hospitals here throw you out so quickly, the Mercy has been wonderful. I would highly recommend them to anyone. Their after care has been great - even doing extra visits to check on Billy after his weight loss. I know we are only 10 minutes from them so perhaps that makes a difference too.

Hi April!!! Glad you guys are doing well.

OK, what's the deal with their sleeping and awake time? Is Billy meant to be awake for a whole 4 hours between feeds - if he wants to? Should he sleep most of the time? Where is the instruction manual?

Jess, I will assure Mum that you are not going to starve. I swear she was about to jump in the car and come down there. I told her your mummy is looking after you!

Well, I hope you girls get some sleep. Where is Jo??? Mary, how is Sammy??? I'm off to bed.

Love to all.
