He has been on oxygen for his lung cancer and is showing signs of improvement and he made Katherine & I a promise to be around for his great grandchild in January 2014 which made us a bit tearful.
Growing up he was my best friend and I idolised him as my biological father wasn't around and to see him in this way is devastating and slowly breaking my heart - the nurses have said it isn't curable so it's really time to make sure he is comfortable and making some of the most difficult decisions deciding where he should come to his final stop, as long as he is comfortable and not in pain we will rest a bit easier.
Baby Tring was kicking away being around him so we feel like the connection is already there :)
We have been buying the little bits this week but nothing special just sleepsuits and bodysuits from Tesco!
This Sunday the 10th Katherine will be 30 weeks and only 7 until full term which is quite scary - time has moved so quickly!
Not sure what Katherine should pack in the hospital bag or when I should have the pushchair built? Any advice is ALWAYS welcome!
Thanks for reading :)
Id make sure you pack yourself snacks prepare for the long haul :)
