Congratulations on the arrival of your nephew. Our eldest daughter gave birth to triplet boys in October. They were 8 weeks prem, but they are all thriving now. Biggest triplet was 3lb 13oz when born, but now is well over 10lb. Smallest was 2lb 8oz, but now around 8lb. I looked after 2 of them the other morning while our daughter went out (she had bought something on ebay and had to go and pick it up), it was raining so she just took the smallest as he is difficult to feed (he has a cleft palate). The boys are smiling now, and what a pleasure it is, to see your grandchildren smiling at you for the first time. Our youngest daughter is getting married in May, so that is another exciting event to look forward to. Our daughter lives in Queensland so we are not that involved with her wedding planning. Bev ...

I don't try to dwell on what has happened, but it sure makes interesting reading. In some ways I feel that it is therapy for me when I put my feelings down in writing. ... View more
