Got a really nasty pain in the scar area yesterday and called the midwife who told me to take my painkillers, I was given a cocktail of painkillers to take home from the hospital after the c-section, one of them being Codeine. I had heard of it before but not really knowing how strong it is or what side effects it can have. (more…)

Tycho is here!
25th April 2009 by Hellie
Just a quick post to say that at 12.15 pm on the 22nd Little Tycho Finally came out! Tycho came 7 days early but was delivered with an emergency c-section due to brow presentation.

Been waiting in a telephone queue for nearly 30 mins to get through to the Swedish Embassy, very boring and once you get through they are so effective you forget all other questions you might have! I think I got what I needed though. After nearly one year of being married, I finally called them to have my name changed. Hopefully they’ll send papers quickly. (more…)
