It’s a little small for me but I reckon, for the babies I deliver this week, it will fit perfectly when we make the Grand Final. Thanks to Baby Lucy and family.

Last week was a first for Burnside Hospital when we had support dog Moon stay with us for a few nights. Perfectly behaved, and very popular with the midwives, he is now home helping baby Jack settle in. Good boy!

Wild night of weather at Rose Park. Technically not in her job description, but my practice manager had it sorted before I got there.

Most Obstetricians and Gynecologists in Adelaide learned so much from Professor Alastair MacLennan, particularly in the area of menopause management in which he was acknowledged as a world expert. It was a pleasure to have his grand daughter Imogen at our rooms this week for her work experience. Should she choose to, she would be a great addition to our profession.

Today we said goodbye to our dear friend and colleague, Elise Ross. On my nervous first day as a doctor in the Emergency Department of the Queen Elizabeth Hospital she was the friendliest, most helpful nurse there. When I returned to the QEH in my first year of obstetric training, she was a midwife and, once again, a valued support. We were delighted and fortunate to have her with us at our private rooms in Rose Park for nearly 8 years where she used all her experience as a nurse, midwife and mother to help so many of our expectant mothers. She will be missed by us, her army of good friends, her family and particularly Nick, William and Sam to whom Liz and I send our deepest condolences.

Some notes on RSV vaccination in pregnancy

A really special day at work. It was delight to help out in the birth of Mabel, the first great grandchild for my Aunty Carmel. Both classy ladies and both remarkable for their age. Congratulations Kahrynn and Lachy.

Good news. We will make this available to our patients through the practice as soon as possible.

A new government program will give pregnant mothers and newborns free access to RSV vaccines, a move that is expected to lower childhood hospitalisations by 90 per cent.

Will be back at work very soon but for now grateful to be enjoying lovely wines, fantastic friends and snow in beautiful New Zealand. Everyone hold on until I get back!

A tip for Father’s Day- if you sing this song loudly in the car, replacing the word “baby”with “Daddy”, you can trick your children into thinking it’s called “Daddy you’re the Best!” At least until the oldest is about 6. Enjoy the day.

Soundtrack from the 1977 James Bond/007 film "The Spy Who Loved Me," with Roger Moore, Barbara Bach, Curd Jurgens, Richard Kiel, Caroline Munro, Desmond Llew...

I have been fortunate to receive some very thoughtful gifts over the years but this is the first time I have received my own image in an edible form. Nice one!
