Jamie's a week old today and still hasn't found a job. I'll give him a couple more days yet but I am getting a little concerned at his idleness.
In the meantime, he had a visit this morning from Alison the community midwife (pictured above).
Alison is a wonderful ambassador for her profession; what she doesn't know about babies and new mummies simply isn't worth knowing.
We first met her at the LGI last Tuesday when she was on the ward. As I mentioned in a previous posting, Jamie had a little problem with his arm at that time and required an x-ray and a scan.
Alison set up both of these for us and even personally accompanied Jamie and I when we went off to have them done. This was not her job and she was on her break but she came anyway, leaving her cuppa and piece of cake behind.
She gave both Jamie and Vanessa their first once-overs last Thursday, our first morning at home. She repeated the checks today and all seems well.
Alison's dedication, skill and understanding have been invaluable to us over the last seven days and it's something we will not forget.
I hope, one day in the future, Jamie will have the chance to say thanks.
