Hi Epi,
Can you weigh in on this thread?

I mentioned you but am not sure if I got my facts straight.
Warm regards,
Susan

Hi Epi,
Our son's GF's folks are here from Australia again, this time for birth of a new grandchild, next Tuesday-ish.
Our first grandchild, their third.
Excited and nervous for her - she's doing great so far but her friends keep having delivery complications. Don't know if the docs over-intervene with pitocin and epidural stuff, etc. but more deliveries seem to go haywire than I remember in my day. Will let you know.
It's tough on her mom - she really wants her only daughter back home and I understand. We still haven't picked ourselves up to get over there but I know how beautiful it is from all the photos the mom keeps sending me as an inducement to visit. They live by a national park in Pretty Beach and it's a dream. Wow.
TTYS
Susan
