Scottish break


On the Cowal peninsula in Argyle I think.
I am sitting in the most beautiful setting to write this, I am surrounded by intense greens and birdsong. The sun is out but it's breezy enough to keep the midges away and make me keep my coat on. I am attempting the technology again and although I may not be able to post for a while I thought I would try and catch up a bit and bank it while Rosa catches up with her (much needed) ZZZ's.
So much has gone on since the last post which must have been about 3 weeks or more ago now, I will try and remember as much as possible. Since her birthday we had a wonderful stretch of happy Rosa again which was a real relief as we'd been struggling before for a bit. She seemed to find her mellow self again most days and apart from the more or less ubiquitous screamy bedtimes we had long days of being with a baby who was a joy to be around.
We finally got our genetic blood results back on the 1st of June, and they did confirm Rosa's diagnosis. I felt it shouldn't really have affected us because nothing had changed but it was a low few days as it does mean nobody is going to step out of the wings and say there has been a horrible mistake. It also means definitely our options for having more children are not going to include the conventional one which is a sadness. But onwards and upwards as they say! The pursuit of referrals stepped up a pace after we received our confirmation, to little bloody avail though. Rosa is awake now mummy duty calls!
