Hi Beany - ha ha that's not embarrassing I think that's really sweet. I've had a couple of times where Amelia has smiled at me and looked me right in the eye, I got a flutter in my chest and I started crying. I'm like you though and I think these are just the most special moments and times that we'll ever have, there'll be moments when they drive us crazy, moments they'll test us and moments they'll make us as proud as punch. This is being a parent, I always wondered what it was like and now I do and I love it!

As for the heat, I'm wondering how on earth I'll cope at aqua aerobics tomorrow, it's in a small indoor heated pool and it's hot on the best of days.
