Hi all
Sorry i have not been about much the last couple of days i have been helping my friend who has been in labour for two days, she finally went to the hospital four hours ago and i have been with her. Nothing unusual in that you might say, but i have been coaching her via her computer and mine as we are thousands of miles apart!!! She live in the States and her husband says i am the only one she trusts and listens to. They could not get her to go to hospital, i persuded her it was time to go and i am glad i did, she has just given birth to a beautiful girl 6 weeks earlybut they are both doing well she did it with no drugs!!

She wanted me there withh her thats why they took the laptop to the hospital and i have been talking on Im to them both, giving her encouragement when she wanted it and calming her husband down. This is particulary specail as they lost their last daughter three years ago to still bith and she has been petrfied of it happeneing again but mum and baby are doing well. They are about to try to get me a picture sent. If i get one i will post it for you all to see. I cant stop crying with emotion at the moment!!!

Love
