Facebook

I must admit I am quite addicted to Face book.  I was even posting just before I had Noah.  I know some people hate it but I have found it to be invaluable in bringing together our rather fractured family.  I don't mean my direct family, but our extended one.  My mum is one of seven.  Only one of her brothers live in Harwich.  One is in Kent.  One is in Scotland.  One in Germany and two in Australia.  As well as the aunts and uncles there are rather a lot of cousins.  Some of these cousins I have never met and some I haven't seen since we were tiny.  But we now talk.  Sometimes its just comments on status updates or photos and sometimes its a proper chat using the rather unreliable chat facility.

My three girls are on it and probably talk to relatives far more than I do.  One time we were out for a drive and Charlee said....a strange man started talking to me on face book.  As you can imagine that would strike fear into the heart of any parent.  Strange man we replied....yes he was in an airport and said he would see me soon.  More worrying.....then I had a thought.....was his last name P......  Yes she replied.  It was one of my uncles from Australia.  They were flying over to visit and he was on the 'net at the airport and she happened to be online at the same time.

I do tend to post a huge amount of photos of Noah on there.  I know some people don't like to put up pics of their children but I personally think its nice for our family to see a snapshot into our lives.  And with so many people rooting for Noah its nice for them to see how well he is doing.  He had an awful lot of people praying for him and asking after him when he was in SCBU and not gaining weight.

Talking of Noah we finally have a date for his MRI.  This Tuesday.  Luckily Mick was already off work that day.  He isn't allowed to have milk after 2.30 am...then no water after 7.30 am....we have to be at the hospital at 9.30 am and he is booked to have his MRI at 11.30.  He is not going to be a happy baby.  Good job he has plenty of body weight to fall back on.  Though he will only be missing one feed.  I just hope and prey that we'll get some answers quickly.
