As the witching hour descends I have JUST received word that Tess and Abigail are all well, shaken but not hurt.
I am relieved. And grateful.
Abigail on her way

Into life my latest grandchild lurches, inch by inch, contraction by contraction. As Abi showed no signs of joining us herself, and because of Tess’ heart problems, mummy was admitted to the maternity ward late last night and a gel pessary used. Which did not work.
At 5.30am this morning they broke her waters and contractions [...]
A date…

I spent two hours at work and then walked the two blocks to meet Pandy and Nick, Tess and Tony at the coffee shop in front of the Family Court.

The Day After

Valentines Day came and went and for once Tony and I had absolutely NOTHING scheduled; no work, no carting anyone around, noone at all to consider except each other.
We lay around in bed until almost 4pm and then we retired to the lounges which we pulled together and lay alongside each other. Breakfast was consumed [...]
Happy Birthday

Today she is 14, and yesterday and the day prior she filled the house with her school friends and folded in a day at the beach.
The sleepover went well – Tony left the house at 3.30am seeking coolness and quiet. And went and slept in the car. The loungeroom was dotted with some sleeping-some waking [...]

I did have fun.
The loungeroom is littered with a variety of 14 year old ( plus one 13 year old) bodies and largely they were immense fun. They arrived in dribs and drabs and I just came home and went into a Maggie cooking frenzy.
