Thank you for the good wishes.
Fortunately my son seems to have avoided any hoarding issues - when bringing all the items required for the baby down from the attic room he was already plotting to get rid of them as soon as young Dylan has no more need of them. My daughter in law has been told very firmly 'no more babies' by the consultant she saw during this last pregnancy.

I actually held Dylan on my last visit - he is still slightly furry, having been induced early.

Now I have to get back to a more ordinary routine. At least I have managed to continue to return the milk bottles to the delivery man in some numbers.
