26-05-2007 11:57pm#1As the title suggests,
My worse fears came through today.My eldest daughter had her communion this morning at 11 and yes of course herself went into labour at 9.I just knew this would happen:D well at the time we didnt know if we where going to laugh or cry.
Of all the days,but thankfully we have an understanding daughter.She was brill about it"dont mind me mam,you just go and have another brother or sister for me" well talk about our hearts sinking.
So on the phone to the mother,the two sisters in law(one being the hair dresser,the other up to mind my other 2 childers) my mate out of work(dont ask me why i rang him
)
It was pandomonium.In heavy labour at this time,herself stuck it out to see our daughter dressed for her communion(fair play i say) before i had to whisk her off to the rotunda in saturday traffic.sssshhh,down the bus lanes
Anyway in rotunda at 11:05 and baby boy was born at 1:01pm our fourth,2 boys and 2 girls.
A healthy 8 pound 1 ounce and mam and baby are fine.
Now heres the fun,left rotunda at 3,meal booked for 4:30 out in malahide,had to gather rest of family,stuck in a downpour,rushed home to put suit on and meet the clan in restaurant,ate meal,got indigestion,went more visiting,got heartburn,mother left her car keys in my house so had to collect her.
Then sis in law said she have my lot for a sleepover:) Got beer put pc on and now im telling you lot:o
Its amazing what one beer does to you after a month off it.:eek::o
So to summarise the whole day,it went well,the communion and the birth and thank god also for families:)0

Well they say things come in 3s,well it sure did again this evening.My communion girl slipped running out of the house right down on her face and banged her knee on the ground.The howls and screams from her told us that it was serious.She couldnt bend her leg and knee swolled up something fierce.:(
An hour passed and things went from bad to worse,she was clearly in agony.No joy getting at all for her getting into the car so we had to ring for an ambulance as hospital was last on our mind but she is not one to con us.So off we went in a bee baw(which came 10 mins later after ringing them:) ) and paramedic said her knee dropped and looked dislocated:(
To cut a very long story short all she had was ligament damage,X ray showed up no breakages/fractures etc. ,thankfully.As always temple street staff where brill.:)
We have had a very strange weekend of bad timings and near heartbreak and joy all together.Such as life i suppose but hospital visits has had its fair share on my ticker of late but with happy endings.Im grateful for that.
Soz for the essay,it wouldnt be something i would usually share but near relevant to to my OP but not looking for poor me poor,as all parents we all have our worries and concerns and misfortunes but what are the bloomin chances.
Suppose it could have been much worse.:)
