Day +119
Hello to everyone. We hope you are cooling down nicely, but still enjoying the fine weather?
We have had a quiet day today….well Ella has. She has snoozed all day long and is fast asleep now. She did wake up when Reg and Mummy came back this tea time, in fact she even helped us to eat our tea. She is a real expert with a knife and fork now, and always manages to feed you the tastiest morsels….just big enough to get the flavour, yet small enough to fit in your mouth.
Rachael and I started the day with tea and toast, very nice, and then Rachael started to get organised for the trip home. I thought it was a good idea to carry on with downsizing in the cubicle, so we decided that Rachael should take the buggy home this time. After she had left I got on with sorting out some of the boxes. What a job! What should go? What should stay? But as I’ve mentioned before, we can take very little to the new hospital, so I had to be ruthless. Mind you, there were still 4 full boxes left, even after I’d put 3 by the door to take home, plus numerous bags and bits.
(As I am telling you this they are winging their way to Ainsdale on Sea, in the back of Reg’s car.)
The move for us is 2 weeks on Saturday….it will soon be here. The rest of the hospital is gearing up for the move too. There are many people emptying cupboards, lugging bin bags around, pushing beds from ward to ward and generally looking harassed. From what we can gather there will be teams of nurses to receive the children when they arrive and of course a skeleton staff here, to see them off! I think it will be all hands on deck that day!
Sally and I are just getting ourselves organised for the night, at the moment. Calendar Girls is on and I can feel a cup of tea coming on. We have got an early start tomorrow…I’m off back to Southport early to have the boys, whilst Rachael is at her sewing class, and Sally will be here solo. I’ll be back for the evening though.
Well, night night once again, and thank you for all your prayers and loving support.
Ella,Sally and Annette.xxx
