I was at National Womens Hospital in the delivery suite having some rather painful contractions...
My mum was there and my husband and my SIL. Think everyone else had left by that stage. The contractions were drug induced so i was bed ridden and being monitored.... Still a long way to go yet!  ------------- http://www.myfitnesspal.com/weight-loss-ticker">

awwww......
Every year the night before C's birthday I write her a letter, that always makes me cry .... Its cool that you'll be able to tell him (if he ever asks) the story of his birth ....I dont think telling Caitlyn " i begged your grandmother to drown me and she refused " is what she wants to hear...but you have so much more detail , am v impressed -------------

Five years ago I went up to National Womens to see little Gabriel who was about to get his Vitamin K injection. Mum was either almost in tears or actually in tears, I can't remember which. Gab slept through the whole thing. I think I gave him an orange tiger one piece outfit with a matching hat.
Happy birthday Gabriel!!!  ------------- http://lilypie.com">
