We've had a good but very busy week (I curse these summer holidays!), so once again it's been difficult to update the Blog. Elizabeth put on another 6oz which was amazing and she's due another weigh in this Wednesday. She is now going up in line with the 2nd centile. She is looking very well and her exomph seems to be shrinking before our very eyes.
We had Charon and her lovely baby, Grace, to stay last week. Charon was a great help. Gone are the days when we would salsa until dawn - it was lights out at 9.30 for us!
We still have the community nurses in every morning to help me to dress the bump, but are able to go out and about other than that. A was away this weekend at Howie's 40th celeberations in London, so my mum came to stay and we went to the Life Centre in Newcastle. Because of Elizabeth's condition we can claim free entry to a lot of the major attractions in the North East, so Chloe will enjoy some great days out this summer. Yesterday's highlight was a rocket making workshop!
Must sign off - I had a very busy night with Elizabeth last night and I am losing the will to live...

Hi Famille
I've been tracking the blogs and delighted to see the progress Anna has been making. No doubt the benefit of a loving family and friends - with some help from the NHS of course. I'm sure the exomph will continue to shrink in proportion to Anna's continued progress. Kind regards and best wishes, Richard Hannam.
Wish I could lose weight as quickly as Anna seems to be gaining it! (lol!)
Love,

PS. Technical question:
When Anna is weighed this obviously includes the weight of the exomph. As her 'bump' is shrinking it is presumably gradually weighing less, so how does anyone know how much 'Anna minus bump' actually weighs?
Hi Sue,
The answer I guess is 'no-one'! It's certainly weighing less and less, which is making Anna more and more comfortable.
We still don't know for sure what's left in the bump; Mr Jaffray reckons it might be mainly liquid and 'muck' as he puts it, but I wouldn't know the relative weight of that vs Anna's organs!
