Green with.....
Well it could be green with a cold bug. Yes, the sniffles of Wednesday turned into a nasty full blown cold, complete with the obligatory cough, and indigestion. What was that all about? I hardly ever get heartburn, but last night Hubby became so concerned that he asked if we should go to casualty. I have to admit that one teeny, tiny part of my brain was questioning whether this amount of chest pain was to be expected with indigestion, but I braved it out and I'm still here, so I suppose it was.
Could it be though that I am green with envy? I went into work today on the understanding that I didn't have to go near any newborn babies, so I just stuck with the Mums busy growing their babies safely tucked inside. My student received a pressie from one of my ladies, and it's the best gift EVER. It's a photo of baby Grace, in a wooden frame with an inscription on it that says ' The first of many', and then the date of the birth. How amazing is that as a momento of her first birth? My student burst into tears, it is something she will treasure forever. Mind you, I don't think you ever forget the first birth you ever witnessed, or the first one you were ever 'hands on' at. Tears flow, Mum, Dad, and the red-faced, sweating, student midwife. The most amazing moment.
Not going out tonight due to nasty cold. I'm just going to snuggle down infront of the telly, swaddled in a blanket, supping a couple of Irish Coffees (the whiskey is good for a cold!!).
