What about you lot?

Is this the royal 'we'???- if so ideas way above your station or a poor imitation of the 'wicked witch of the west. Alternatively is it because you have a urinary problem???

What a horrible post. It is you who has the problem if your increasingly crazy posts are anything to go by. This is a grandfather who is concerned about his grandchild's health!

It's all unclear. Both will be staying in for at least a couple of days.

The panic is back.


Try not to worry too much at this stage, you will probably know more tomorrow. I imagine if we had a bruised face it would be uncomfortable for us to feed too.
If there is a problem, best it was noticed before they came home.
Hope 'Mum' is recovering too.

The hospital staff will ensure everything is ok before they are released Gravitas, it's early days yet and babies are stronger than you think...

I am pleased to hear all went well with the birth of your granddaughter Gravitas, it must have been a worrying time for you all.

I would say the day my son was born was indeed the best day of my life...

Feeding is about the same. But they will persist. Test results came through yesterday and were good. But there was alarm at this end with the lack of a report of results even after a text to the father. Fearing the worst. Just heard they have been given an honourable discharge this morning, to much relief, and it's just a case of time now.

Re: We Are to be a Grandfather

It's amazing how we parents spend years of our lives bringing up and worrying about our own kids only to have all the same worries and concerns about our grandkids. I'm sure everything will come right soon.
