So Pleased Sally to hear the good news, warmest congratulations to Mum and Meg. Been busy all day so missed the great updating of events throughout the day. Bet you and Meg are both worn out and ready for a good nights sleep. Not had baby piggies yet, will they settle down for the night or feed regularly for through the night?  :thumbsup: :pig: :pig: :pig: :pig: :pig:

My first time too Miss Piggy, although I worked on an intensive pig farm in the 70s.

I understand that they'll feed about every 20 mins at the beginning - which explains how they have doubled in size already!   :D

And, now that I am coming back down to earth a little, I can remember my manners and send a very big Thank You  :bouquet: to everyone who has given advice and moral support and helped Meg and me achieve this lovely outcome!
