Lady you don't have a lot of nerve...

Update on leg if you're interested... Tests showed yesterday that I suffered some nerve death during labour. Next birth I go through will have to be a c-section unless I want to risk the nerves that are left, but that's no big deal in the big scheme of things. Full leg function should return, as new nerve fibres will grow from the remaining nerves to compensate. Hopefully my limp and slow walking pace will all be a distant memory by the end of the year....

Master of small things
Meanwhile back at the ranch, E-chan is mastering some basics:
- projectile snot and vomit in Mum's hair (tick!)
- projectile wee in middle of nappy change (tick!)
- and Dad's favourite... poo squashed up the leg and back requiring a full outfit change! (tick!!)
- grabbing (has action right but no strength)
- smiling (tick! very cute little crumby smiles at play time)
- focussing on basic pictures 30cm away (tick!)

Mum is trying to master settling E-chan in between feeds, and team E-chan are all trying to master breastfeeding with still some attachment problems (we're seeing an osteopath tomorrow in the hope that might correct something).

Ciao for now... there's something to attend to as usual!
