36 stitches - ow ow OW! I REALLY hope that doesn't happen to me. Last time I tore, was cut and then tore again, so I reckon I probably had nearly that many (they called it a second degree tear). Hopefully everything is 'limbred up' down there because it hasn't been too long since last time. I meant to ask too - does DP stay with you to help with bubs, or does he visit? I suppose I'm not sure how it would work being that DH is here every night and I don't know any other way. How's your flatmate coping with Em too? Does she wake up? I reckon if it wasn't my baby I'd be able to sleep through it anyway.

Did you say that you had MSN up and running? We're always on here at the same time! Good luck getting the housework done - don't overdo it!
