26 weeks pregnant (Friends like you)

Dear my wee little girl,

I still can't quite believe that you will be joining us really soon, it probably won't hit me until you are actually here! I can't wait to see all your little fingers curled up to make a fist, all your tiny toes and little bits of hair, it's making me teary just thinking about it now.

Well, I have a funny story to tell you about grandad, he's just been given a new F1, called Zosia. I'm kinda getting the impression that he's bitten off more than he can chew with her! She's so much like Mummy, just the way she acts, she's so self driven and open minded it's uncanny! It's like they were separated at birth!

Me and Bonnie are still going strong, it's like we never left each other when we were at nursing college, obviously I still have feelings for Mummy, because of you we will always have that bond between us and we will do anything together for you! Just because we are not together doesn't mean we do not love you any less, you are our world.

Anyway, just a quick post today, I need to crack on with some work
Love you lots, Baby Girl
Love Daddy xx

Hello Princess,

It's Daddy again, today has been a brilliant day, had lots of laughs with Aunty Mo, who is still looking on those silly dating sites for Mr Right, whatever that may be. Anyway some of the people she's bringing up are right idiots, half of them look like they've got dressed in the dark! But there was this one bloke, Joe I think his name was, who she really liked, I mean really really liked. Just to warn you, when your older and are interested in boys, they will have to get through me and your mum first, I won't settle for just anyone with my little girl.

Mummy also made me laugh today, even though we are not on talking terms, she shown an interest in the dating websites, saying something about how people big themselves up on them, when in reality they are nothing like they say they are, but quickly rectified herself, claiming that she wouldn't know as she's never been on one! Yeah right.

I got to admit, the shift did get a draining, especially when it came to the new F1 Zosia, who was being completely rude to grandad, not respecting him and his wishes one his ward, so I decided to show her his research project, that has taken him over 10 years to construct and perfect, I'm sure Mummy will fill you in more, I've always been rubbish with the technical side of things, but basically it's a robotic heart, does the same things as a human heart, just with the aid of a computer.

Well, that's your lesson over today on the human heart,
I'll write later,

Love Daddy xxx

Dear my little girl,

What an exhausting day it has been, not only have I had to supervise another foetus in scrubs, who enjoys disrespecting her superiors, I've had to deal with your daddy's sniggering when I commented on the dating websites, I have not ever attempted to go on one and never will, I overheard someone saying that when they met someone off a website, they appeared shorter than they said they were, so ignore what Daddy says.

I understand that Daddy's having a difficult time with the F1, but I'm finding it amusing bossing her around and getting her to do things that I really don't want to do! It's like a have my own personal slave' I could get used to this. I sent her out on a little shopping trip earlier, as just recently I have had a craving for pickles from a deli in town and mint tea, (I haven't forgotten that I need a word with you about this young lady!).

She reminds me so much of myself when I was her age, intrigued into the workings of complex procedures and pieces of equipment and wanting to be in on everything, she's not one for surgery, she has made it clear that she does not want to specialise in surgery and is still adamant that she wants to become psyc, so it came to me as a bit of shock when she showed an interest in the Hertzig case that Elliot and Daddy were working on, I don't blame her for wanting to get involved, as she said, what would I do, I would have done what she did and went to the procedure. I have a feeling I'm going to grow to like Zosia, just don't tell her.

Oh before I forget I also set her a little task for after the surgery, to reconstruct a plastic skeleton from scratch, hilarious!

Mummy's going to go now princess,
Write soon

Love Mummy xxx
