Hi ,

Thanks for the update - I was wondering how things were going, but

didn't want to ask, as I know how much you have on your plate...I

would tend to agree with you about the nursing unit trying to

cya...Wow, as if a $50 gift certificate can erase everything. I

probably would have felt better about it had she just sent the

apology...Glad to hear you are going to the lawyer.

How are you feeling? And how is Miss Hannah? She must be what, 6 or

7 weeks? Or am I totally out to lunch in that regard? Probably so as

I have been up all night with a migraine and a sick hubby coughing

and sputtering in my ear...lol..He came through his GBP alot

smoother than he is getting through a cold! But thats a man for

you...gotta luv him...

Anyway, hope to hear how you and Hannah and her daddy are doing.

Hugs,

19 weeks today! Yippee
