Ali- I think we all feel this way when our 2nd or 3rd or what ever number you are up too, as it seems almost impossable to think who you could love another child as much as you love the one you have, But your heart and compassaty to love in a amazing thing, your heart will exapand to love another you will be able to share you time ( even if it is a bit one sided to start with ) But that the joy of having children, you get to see them grow see there personaltys devlop into the wonderful little people they are. Tori will love her brother and be a wonderful big sister and alway remember that she wont remember the tough time that you feel you have I am one of 7 and come in at number 5 two yrs and 4 days after my sister and 20mths before the next sister so mum must have been run of her feet around the time I was a baby/ toddler and I only remember the good times I have with my sisters. Hope you could understand most of that ..

I hope you get your christmas wish.

dee- now I know that you dont want her to lose her finger but I thought I would let you know that my mil lost hers at the same age ( her dad choped it of with a axe ) and she has gone through life just fine she too is a nurse and was a train midwife and she had the only hand that could tell 10 cm with one check as with the missing finger it was the right size.lol plus it was great for babys to suck on it all babies have loved it must be the nub at the end. But I do really hope all the dressings work out and she can re-grow her skin, its a shame it happen now with summer on the way. I will send up a little for you all .
