Jess, so glad to know the op went well and you had a good nurse to help you through. I'm sure you're giving Ethan as much touch and cuddle time as possible and that will help him more than anything. Thanks for keeping us updated, we've all been worried for you. Hope you're all back home and back to normal real soon.

Mel, your question about the shelf life of the food got me wondering, so I emailed them. They said that it's a combination of the acidity in the blends of fruit they use, the heat process and the packaging process that extends the shelf life. Also, more flavours coming soon - yey!

Em, that's a huge sleep! How did he end up going today? I think your parents did a great job with the consequences for driving the car - pats for them, they are obviously doing a great job (and it must be hard one)

oops got a cranky one at my feet wanting dinner...
