so true!! on both accounts!
I feel myself being extra protective of him even though he acts like he doesnt give a flying ****


so, based on my experiences....I would rather be there in case something went wrong, you know

exactly. A million quid is all well and good but i'd toss it away in an instant.
There is nothing I wouldn't have given or done when wee man was in nicu.

Not overly protective now but i hate even seeing an nicu on tv, brings back an awful feeling deep down
