Hey everyone,

V, have you tested yet? How did work go today? I bet you had a blast and went just fine. Let us know about AF

Sacha, sounds like it was a great day to celebrate Auties birthday on Sunday. And she got some great presents as well. I bet she just loved all the attention. And big yey on her first steps, that must have been exciting.

Danni, so sorry to hear about the tough him you are having at the moment. Is little Oscar any better yet? What is Coup? I have heard of it, but don't know anything about it. Thanks for thinking of Jack as well.

Raels, Oliver sounds like a very happy little man. What a cheeky little thing with the head banging, it must have made you laugh. Jack is very similar with his walking, or lack of. He takes a few steps on his own, then realises what he is doing, starts to laugh and falls down. It's so cute to watch.

Well, can you believe tomorrow is the big day for us. It's Jacks 1st birthday I still can't belive how quickly it has come. Unfortunately he is going to hospital for another dressing change, but hopefully he will still have a good day. We had a party for him on Sunday, with just some family and close friends, and he had a great time, and got very spoilt as well. My cake was a hit, Jack loved playing with the cars I used on it afterwards. It was so funny when it came to blowing out his candle. Of course he didn't attempt to, but when I said to all the kids standing about 2 metres away that they could help, Jack and I were nearly blown away with all their efforts and Jack cracked up laughing at them all, it was so lovely.

Anyway like I said tomorrow is another dressing change, not looking forward to it, but I had a dream last night that they removed the dressings and it was all healed, just a little red, I can only my dream comes true. Hopefully this time he won't get to upset, it should be just a dressing change, and they won't have to remove anymore skin, as he seems to be fine until they do that. We might find out tomorrow more about the skin graft.

I'm waiting to find out when exactly it will happen, before I talk to my Doula clients about theirs births. It's unfortunate that 2 of them are due within a month, one any day now. They know what happened, I just said I'll have to play by ear what's going happen. Hopefully they don't go into labour while I'm in hospital with Jack. But I guess if that happens, it happens, I just hope they will understand.

I just noticed, in 3 hours, 365 days ago I started to labour....... Wow, it's just a little exciting and sad at the same time.

Hope everyone else is well.
