midwife's muse

Just visiting

Loads has happened since I moved away, not least these little poppets

Jamie and Louis. Born 23rd August weighing in at 5lbs 15 and 6lbs 2.

They were born by elective caesarian at 36 weeks and 1 day. Louis spent the first day and a half in SCBU as he was having problems breathing but since then they have been inseparable. Poor little Louis was also the victim of a drug error, we won't know if it has caused irreparable damage to his hearing until the end of October so we are all keeping our fingers crossed until then and he is being constantly subjected to whistles and claps to see if he responds!

My job-share partner of 7 years has retired, lucky thing but it has left me trying to manage a full-time plus caseload on half hours. This has all come at a really bad time as daughter needs quite a bit of help, I feel I may be spread too thinly (if only it was reflected in my size).

I'm still blogging, ranting away in my other blog but I do come back here sometimes.
