thanks again, and even more to all you extra catters who have posted! I got back from another long day at the hospital tonight! how lovely to come and read all these welcome comments!

it has been an intense few days - a truly long and painful labour, followed by a caesarian conducted with an anaesthetic that didnt work, despite three attempts. my daughter has endured an exhausting relentless amount of pain, and today is calm, happy and positive, and very much in love with her little Rosie. Rosie apart from being very tiny and delicate has beautiful pixie ears (from her father) with little pointy peaks on them. I feel a little elf has come to visit!


... white haired, shawl-wearing grannie, but not an old one!
