Glad to hear all is well. Isn't it amazing that the world (well, the forum, anyway :lol: )now has access to photos of your bump before it even emerges into the world? Sometimes we forget how much technology has advanced in just a few years.

It certainly is amazing that we can all see the baby despite the geogrpahical spread of us all and that most of us have never actually met each other

Isn't this incredible? His/her very first photo call! Gorgeous!

A very much clearer image than I remember scans being. Fantastic, really!

it does seem the baby was palying along!

Apparently when my mum was pregnant with my brother and sister they never of very rarely saw my brother, he was always hidden behind my sister who also spent most of the time with her thumb in her mouth. And 22 years on my sister is the one who likes to be centre of attention etc! :)

Exactly the same with my twins. Well not the thumb in the mouth thing cos she was always talking, she even kicked him out first to see what it was like.

ahh sister came out first but swiftly followed by brother. although my brother started walking at 9mths she waited until 12mths-but enjoyed 3mths having her brother push her around etc.
Its funny how traits at such a young age show their character for their lives :)

A quick update. Theo arrived 9 days early on Wednesday morning (6 August) at 2.39am weighing in at 8lbs 13oz after 1 1/2 hours of labour at home (result!). Big sister no.2 slept through the whole shouting match and woke up delighted to a little brother. Big sister no.1 is in Belgium and also slept through the event!! He is, naturally, totally gorgeous and wonderful and we are smitten with him. Will post a pic when he allows.

We called our first bump 'Frog' cos he was always jumping around so as I couldn't find any flowers either I thought this one would be good.
