Morning campers. Candles lovely, I would have lit one, but they're wet..,,,
Flippancy aside (my defense mechanism when stressed and on the edge!!!) the lighting of candles to remember women, babies and their families affected by stillbirth is beautiful. My thoughts with you rainbow and my friend and her baby girl who died in April.
Jeez I can't remember who else I wanted to say stuff to, that's the worst of being on phone, Ethel I'm sure I want to dash off a line to, hmmmm.
Possum how was the big city (
) and Kevin Bridges? At the music hall? Did you go somewhere yummy for your tea?? We are supposed to be going to ABZ early Nov to see Michael macintyre, as long as grandma can baby sit DSS that eve.
So the roofer came yesterday. We are worried given the first thing that he did when he got up on top was to be silent as he survey the lie of the land and then laughed. Quite a lot. Apparently he has only seen 3 roofs worse than this. Ever. One was a byre that had no roof.
%23sigh%23 not had numbers yet but all indications are that McGuez's uni fund is screwed. Royally.
So, good progress Jojo with study plans, that always makes you feel better knowing where you stand and what your targets are. Your literature review subject sounds really interesting. If it is of any use I am more than happy to proof read as second eyes (used to do this a lot for other PhD colleagues) mand I never offered for you at the time, as I kept thinking you were submitting book imminently! 
sorry.
No doubt I'll post again as I realise that I probably haven't written anything I wanted to ah yes!
Birth plans: not had to go there yet, but it's quite emphasised here, but so is the acknowledgement that you can't always have what you plan due to circumstance.
As it is a midwife led unit tho, there are keen on women driving the birth, and do there is not a lot of planned intervention, do for example if you or baby not at risk they won't induce you for ages, until there is risk to deterioration of placenta, after 42 weeks ish.
The birthing room is fabulous, pool, wee bed, lamps, Cody throws and night-lights!!! Apparently people come from London, Glasgow, Inverness to have their babies here, 80% of babies born at our unit are water babies!!!
So gonna try for that, knowing that if it all goes a but squiggly then I get wheeched off to Dundee (other half asked very pointed questions bout transfer time, location of ambulance station, and the monitoring and testing schedule of key equipment checks, very manly , aw!!).
Sorry such a long essay, makes the trip to work quicker-it's not my week to drive for the car share so am doing a Lady Penelope (nice name?!). Nearly at the door so will love ye and leave ye quinnies (!) (not rude that honest, just the Doric [ie northeast of Scotland] word for girls or lasses).
