Cinta - The mouse wheelie bug is gorgeous!

Well M had a great time with the grandparents. Apparently she slept through (that would be right) and they took her on a walk along the beach and down to the park this morning. She's bombed out in bed now lol.
DP & I went & saw 'Taken' at the movies. What a great movie!! We also had a bite to eat, and just enjoyed our time together really.
I'm a bit sad today though as my parents have just retired and are itching to go travelling. They initially said they would wait till after M's bday and then go, but they have changed their plans and now wont be here for her 1st birthday. I am dissapointed as it seems that my inlaws spend more time & effort with M than my own parents, and now for them not to be here for her very first bday hurts a bit. Its actually really put me off having a party for her, but we will see how we go I guess.

Now for some good news, my lovely friend had a baby boy last night, she named him Solomon. I am so happy for her, as she has had such a smooth pregnancy and her birth was even better. Started cramping at 2pm yesterday arvo, was in the bath by 6pm with contractions 3 mins apart. Headed to the hospital at 9pm and was 6cms dialated already. They put her back in the bath at the hospital, 15 mins later she wanted to push, they said no no too early but she pushed anyway. Sure enough the baby's head was right there & ready to go, so she'd birthed him by 10pm with no epidural, but went for the pethadine. I'm so proud of her!!!! So now I wanna know how come I had to have such a painful long birth HAHA.
