    Mel- sorry to hear about your nan. Actually i really need to go see mine. she is in a home and is not much of a life anymore. been there for 5yrs and no one thought she would still be here this long. she cannot walk, hardly hear or see and a skeleton of her formerself its horrible to see someone go like that. My mum took Nixon to see her yesterday when i was at work.

    ik- been meaning to ask u and sorry if u have mentioned it and i havent picked up on it. Is oscar still in bed with you guys? just wondered if he is how is he going? i think nixon wriggles so much in his sleep he'd keep me awake all night!

    My SIL bub is due tomorrow (pretty ironic 1st june was Nixon's due date!) tues she found out her heomagloban (sp) was only 70 (should be about 120) and now is high risk, had to change hosp and order blood incase she needs a transfusion.
    she has an appoint at hosp now and waiting to hear the outcome, i think sooner bub is out the better. it would be bizzare if bub is born tomorrow and the family gets a June bub afterall!
    anyway Nixon has just woken up, hope your all well speak soon

    Nic - I can't remember if I'd mentioned it or not, but yep, we've got the 'family bed' thing going on, and happy as pigs in poo with the arrangement Oscar wriggles in the morning when he's waking up, but when he's asleep, he's a little log. Um, a gently wheezing log! So, yeah, it's still lovely. I know other babies who are real wrigglers, too, so I'm appreciating Oscar's cooperation! It's sort of like having breakfast in the morning...I do it, but don't talk about it especially unless it's relevant, even though I might make passing reference to it in conversation if it's something to do with sleeping or going to bed, or waking up etc! Sometimes I realise once I've made a natural reference to it that the person I'm talking to doesn't see it as a normal thing (if I don't know them very well), but once I realise that, I just keep talking about whatever I was talking about so that they also realise that it's a normal thing to do and that it's no big deal - I don't want a medal, I don't want to be told I'm bizarre (as I was a few weeks ago...who does that?), I just do what we wanna do. And it works extraordinarily well for us, too. And it doesn't interfere with 'intimate relations'
