OMG I am soooooo sorry that you have all been so concerned about us. I am not long home from work and have had dinner and settled down. I just cant believe all the messages from you all. You are all sooo sweet. I hope you are all keeping well and will get caught up on everyones progress over the next few days/weeks, or however long it might take me.
Well Im sure Sara has said I am having a really difficult time at the mo with work, before Grace I was so comitted to my job and pushed myself all the way to the top from the very bottom. I am now in charge of the whole bloody factory and to be honest I wish I had just stayed at the bottom. My priorities have changed so much from Grace has come along and I just cant seem to manage things how I used to. Needless to say I dont really have very caring employees. The business is very much fast pace and very quick turnover in production. I could go on and on about it all night but I am sure you have all got the jist of it already. Basically I am not coping at all with the pressures of the job and I suppose a bit of it is to do with the last year we have had, we have had a lot on,and I am not in a posistion to just walk away from it, I need to find another job first as we have a high mortgage and outgoings and the money is just too good. there is hope in sight though, my friend is hopeful that I will be successful in her workplace as a supervisor which is slightly lesss money but much less responsibility. Keeping everything crossed that something happens soon before I end up in the looney bin !!!! Have been having a few other health problems with Vetigo and some womens problems that I am awaiting a hospital appointment for but generally I am feeling better except for my work situation.
Well now for the important stuff... Grace is doing fantastic !!!! She is a whopping 10 months now and weighing in at 19lbs. Her little heart is doing just great, just a small leak in the valve but nothing to worry about at the minute. Her development is about average for her age. She is wanting to stand all the time and will walk a little if we hold her hands. No signs of any crawling though, really doesnt like being on her tummy so not hopeful she will crawl soon, but, who cares. She is an absolute joy and keeps me going every day. We are hoping that when I get another job that we will start trying for a little brother or sister for her.
We are all just back from holiday a couple of weeks now, mum and dad took us away for a week to Feungirola, we had a ball and it was great to get away from it all. Grace had great fun and made lits of new friends, the spanish people just loved her and couldnt have been nicer.
I promise I will try to get on more often, I have so much to catch up on. Must actually try and do some reading tomorrow afternoon as grace is off to the pool with her auntie so I will have a couple of hours free. I am so sorry to have worried all of you and am looking forward to our little chats again.
Away to catch up a bit now.
Loads of love Shirley & Grace
Ps will post some up to date pics in the picture gallery now

Great to hear from you Shirley!!
Sorry to hear about your nightmare at work, and hope you get your..well how can I say....demotion!.....would be a great relief for you.
Wow I can't believe Grace is walking with your help....thats fantastic! I don't think Lisa could even weight bare at her age!
And crawling??....don't worry about that.....Lisa's brother Rhys was 11 months before he even got into the crawling possision, and he hasn't Downs! In fact by the sounds of it, Grace is doing better than him, he's nearly 14 months, and will walk around the furniture, but as soon as you try to hold his hands to walk, he just sits down! Lazy boo baa! I suppose that is men for you lol!
Glad that you managed to have a nice break away..you certainly deserve it....and spanish people just adore children...very maternal.
Great to have you back hun...and can't wait to see some up to date pics of your lil princess!x

Hi Shirley, sorry to hear that your having such a rough time at work. I hope the new job comes off soon. It sounds like Grace is doing brilliant, George only started to weightbare a couple of months ago but he won't attempt any steps. He's still a little monkey when it comes to sitting aswel, as soon as he realises he's doing it by himself he lies down - like Jojo said, typical male. I've seen Grace's new pictures in the gallery she looks absolutely gorgeous and full of fun. Keep your chin up xx

Hi Shirley
Sorry to hear about your work. If you are not happy in your work it just make life more complicated. I hope that everything works out for you.
Sorry for phoning DSA, Belfast but we were just concerned!!

YAY!!! sounds like Grace is a total star (what can I say, 06 was a good vintage!) Caleb doesn't crawl either and shows no interest, lots of babies can't be bothered and go straight to walking. off to look at your new pics, good luck with the horrid job situation. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
