@Rhythm, I would also love to hear any of your meal ideas on this thread http://oliverands.com/community/forums/topic/whats-for-tea-today-mum !

The sewing fairy whispered in my ear that people who’ve given birth are allowed to take more than a week off 🙂 The sewing machine won’t grow legs and walk off.

Aww @Deepa, you are a sweetheart!

Welcome @Rhythm, I get so excited to see new people post here. How wonderful to be able to spend such a lot of time with your daughter.
(And sewing, that is second best)

Thanks @beachmom.

@KarenK I had to be grateful also due to the realisation of my own mortality and fertility. No one wants to leave their babies behind and no one wants the decision to be made for them.

@cybele727 how did you work through it all? I mean I know that this nearly happened to me even though the doctor didn’t actually say but you can…[Read more]
