I wanted to take a few minutes to thank the crew up in Ward 14 at Wellington Hospital for doing a sterling job in taking care of Second Chef and Chef Du Plunge. This isn’t just because of the great view from the room she enjoyed on her own:
But because they took so much time to set us on the path of good parenting.
Also because although I’ve spent a fair amount of time complaining about the local District Health Board, I know you’re not all bad, as proven in the days after CDP’s birth.
So from Second Chef and I, thanks.

Oooh, that’s the ward Liz was in after the sun-roof entrance of Jack.
I slept like a POW in the corner

I’m sure you don’t need extra lessons in how to be good parents. Technical details on how to care for a mewling puking baby, maybe…

CDP hardly pukes! surprising?
was to me.
however, he does these long f@rty rumbles into his nappies. very loud, very funny.
good lad.

Oh great stuff – I know some of the staff there and really they do their best.
And in my experience of 3 – some babies are pukey, some aren’t. #1 is still a puker at 5!!

Told you I would get you the plush service, didn’t I?

hmmm… your partner wasn’t one of the people cooing over my boy was she?

No, our neighbour is a midwife at Grace Neill, not to mention the loveliest woman you’ve ever met. But she was on annual leave when CdP came on the scene – so the plush service you got was in fact standard fare.
