I'm so relieved to hear that everything's settling down Helen - such a relief ! And hey, I only sat at a pc and typed - YOU are the one who made sure those piggies were okay  :-*
Now, aren't you supposed to be working ?  ::) lol!  ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

Yes she's settling in to it nicely now eve. I'm still a little nervous everytime they're round her head but she has shown absolutely no more signs of aggression since just after they were born thankfully. Once they're another  few days old I'll stop the guinness (weekend when im here all day) but for now it's keeping her chilled and it's not hurting things.
Kimmie continues to do well as well, think she wonders what all the fuss was about  ;D

Thanks scotelf, my take on it is its my duty to do the best I can for them regardless of how much sleep it loses me or stress! I owe them that they're my responsibility we shouldn't have any animal unless we're prepared to do what it takes to do what's best for them. I regret I wasn't better prepared when things started to go wrong but thankfully with support we got through but I won't be caught out again and I will have supplies in next time.
I've still not relaxed about it all yet may take until they're a bit older for the sigh of relief stage but so far progressing nicely now.

Lol traumatic isn't the word! Will aim to get pics on at the weekend but I'm not great at getting them off my iPhone.. Will do my best though.

Wow - what an adventure- thanks for keeping us all in touch with the goings on :) And extremely glad it all seems to have worked out.
Is Kimmie a bit jealous that she's not getting any beer??  ;D
