That sounds great JKS. And I'm liking the idea of a changing light thing and am off to investigate!
What time would you need to come Simspon? I'm sure we can work somethin out.
Filly - yes it's the same one and actually it is on offer again now in Toys r us, so you could get it for next year!
so, as you will see from the time of this post, Sabela hasn't been sleeping too well since we've been here. I'm beside myself with tiredness. Sabela, Daniel and I are all sleeping int he same room and Sabela is constantly trying to get into my bed. I'm not letting her as I have night feeds with Daniel and I don't think any of us will sleep any better with three in a bed and probably much worse. I was so cross when woken by her at 5.15 that I got her to try to sleep for an hour and then got up. Very cross mummy, especially as Daniel has been spark out all night.
I suppose it can be expected with all the disruption. She's very worried about her Grandad, and obsessed with things medical. We got her a train set from Tesco yesterday (she's being spoilt but we need to pass the days! Train set is fab for £10 by the way and you can get another bridge to make it go further). Anyway, it has a little hsopital in it and she's been asking and asking why people go to hospital, so I've been focussing on mummy going to hospital to have Danny and people getting better etc.
Dad is very weak, and often confused from the morphine. His wife still has most of the pressure on her as we all believe that she understands him better when we can't, which she often doesn't and also she is the one he wants if he wants something. He is talking less and less, and often we can't understand it but hen occasionally he will say something so sharp and funny that makes us all look like fools. We still don't know whether to expect weeks or days.
Both of my brothers are here and one is being very helpful and between DH, myself and him we're doing all the household stuff. I think I am going to stay with the children when DH and brother have to go back as I don't think it's fair to leave Step mum caring solo anymore. She's done so much. Not good for my sleep though.
Other brother is essentially looking after himself and rubbing people up the wrong way, but he is making an effort ot be friendly and sensible (although failing). I am very sceptical about him suddenly wanting to be nice to me (which he hasn't in 37 years). I'm suspicious we ar ebeing lined up as a replacement crutch when Dad is dead. HE has already mentioned in passing coming to Aberywstwyth. I am not going to allow it.
God help us all!
Sorry for long post. Splurge time!
