@Catllar @fajita @charley Thank you ever so much all of you!!!!
The hosp rules were 'eased' a touch last Wednesday when DSIL messaged and said can you come..she needs you.
So everything was dropped, things were wildly grabbed and shoved into an overnight bag so I could do the 3 1/2 hour drive to get there so I'd at least have one hour of visit time. The only folk meant to be there were the partner and one other nominated person which was her sister because I brought them up to be super close and the fact that she lived only 5 mins away.
So I did the mum things, console, do the multiple trips to the shops until the right size bra was obtained then back again to get more when sizing achieved..and feed my son who was looking after their house and pets and then DD had to droip around for some mum cooking as well.
Wind forward a few days and I'm finally home. Totally knackered yesterday so was a bit of a zombie and just now, finally getting back in the mood for chatting.
Oh and when I was picking up the most gorgeous bear in town, what was across the road??? Spotlight! So I just had to drop in there for a look and I have to admit, a metre of knit with gumnut babes just happened to be purchased. No idea on design yet but it should be enough to make her something.
Oh and the gorgeous addition is known as Zoe.
< totally biased of course.
