Congratulations on your new baby Lira! Hopefully Immy will be okay, they don't tend to put much weight on once they start walking so fingers crossed it's nothing serious.

Celsie - Sorry to hear about your GD. Try not to worry, it seems to be really common nowadays doesn't it? I was borderline last time and they told me to follow a low GI diet but I didn't have to take insulin. My friend had it really bad both pregnancies and had to inject 4 times a day. However both babies were fine, the second one had to be monitored for the first 2 days and was put in a seperate unit for 48 hours but all was good in the end. I think they will take extra measurements to see if your baby grows more than it should. But try not to stress too much

Yes the fires are just terrible, it makes you realise how lucky we all are for what we have. I work for a charity and a group of staff have gone down to organise kids activites etc. I couldn't go because I have Lewis and DH works nights but I would have loved to have been able to help out.
