Long weekend!!



I have had such a rough weekend but thankfully the outcome was good. A week or so ago I mentioned I had to go for a routine mammogram and they told me I should have the results within 3 weeks. Well I got a letter on Saturday morning asking me to return to hospital for more tests. No mention of why etc just an appointment for today at 5 to 9am. So you can image the weekend I have had, think I will definitely be the biggest loser with the Ladybug girls this week:)
So to cut a long story short, went today, had 4 more tests done over 2 hours and the outcome was a cyst! Its is totally benign which I am so relieved to hear and they are leaving well alone so no surgery either. Phew!

Onto my card. I had a set of 5 christening cards order to make and this is one of them.
Image - Digi Doodles

But, lets just be grateful that the outcome was as straight forward as it has been. That is just the best news possible and I am so very pleased for you and your family :)

Oh by the way, your christening card is very adorable, that little dumpling looks just perfect sound asleep in his tummy!
