a few things

[Jackie Kitschke]

Well young Harrison is going great guns. He feeds, sleeps (in someone's arms or bed) pees and poops. He is a week old and looks great. Mary-Ellen went home when he was 2 days old and has been cared for by Michael and my Mum went and stayed with them. Of course I have been up there when not at work. I have come back to earth a bit. Thank you to all of those people who responded to my email. I forgot to say that mary-Ellen didn't have any stitches either, something she was awfully proud and grateful as well she should be as she listened to her body so well.   Did anyone see the article in the Woman's Day about Dee Smart and the birth of her daughter, Charlie? It was such a nice story about childbirth. She had her baby in the Sydney Women's Hospital birth centre and then went on to explain how they rested and shut the door except to grandparents for 2 weeks after they went home on day 2. Wishing you all a geart year and my thoughts are with all of those people whose lives have been affected by those bushfires. Jackie
