We're home!!!

Pea has been discharged!  She is now sporting a rather fetching bright pink hip spica - a plaster cast that extends down both legs & up around the hips.  It's tricky to deal with.  If it get's wet or dirty, we're back up to the hopsital for a refit.  But we're home.  It nearly didn't happen.  She has had 2 previous plaster casts, that kept slipping.  If Pea couldn't cope with the spica being fitted, while awake, it would have been traction over Christmas.  But she coped.  And we're home.  The Stamp's have been reunited.

I will post more about the events, but for now we're going to enjoy being together & working out just how you change a nappy on a hip-spica-wearing-bub in under 10 minutes.  For now...here is a picture of my girls when they met the local football team....

Well...it's not what we had planned....

At the beginning of last week I invited you to join The Stamp's on our staycation.  So, we have had an eventful time, since my last post.  But we weren't having fun. 

Last week Dear Hubby slipped down the stairs, while carrying Pea.  Thankfully Dear Hubby was not injured.  Poor Pea, however, is currently in hospital on traction.  Our baby has a broken leg.  Hopefully, she should be discharged early next week.  So, I am staying with her.  Dear Hubby & Bean are home alone.

I just want to say a HUGE thank you to our friends & family who have looked after us so well.  Hospital visits, feeding Dear Hubby & Bean, babysits, baby purees, love, support...the list goes on.  The Stamps are grateful for all those around us who care.  Thank you.
