Hello.
There has not been an update for a while cos really nothing much has happened.
Since I last worte she has got a "little" larger and she can feel the baby move about once a day.
I have booked the whole of September off work (yay) so that I have some time at home.
We are due for our scan on 13.05.04 so we will know more then (we will also find out the sex)
Now it is looking a little like this:

She had to go to the hospital last night because she was getting major back pain and she has protein in her urine, which I don't think is a good thing when you're pregnant. She had a kidney infection when she was a baby and so it might've returned.
Hows your sister?

Could I request that the name of this thread is changed to something like
"The OFFICIAL Joe Public's Baby Thread"
as every time I see "I'm having a baby" I think of Davina on Bo Selecta.

Hello all
Seen as it has been 5 week since I last wrote - Thought I would update you all.
We were away last week in Lisbon and while away I felt it move for the first time. We think that we are at 22w but we are going for a scan on Thurs so we will be able to confirm our dates and find out the sex.
If it is a girl then I think we are chosing Lauren. If its a boy then.... well we have another 18wks yet.
It feels so strange to feel it move. At the moment it feels like little "pops" in her tummy. Although I know that towards the end you will be able to make out distinct bumps (hands/feet/elbows etc) and also see her tummy move from side to side.
This is what it looks like now:

Will let you know details on Thurs.

My colleague's first baby was born two Saturdays ago. He's a wee smasher, and they called him Jack. My other friends, devastatingly, lost their twins with just six weeks to go on Thursday there.
I agonised over whether or not it was appropriate to post this, not least because this is a happy thread for our Joe. I don't mean to upset anyone, but philosophically speaking it is one of those facts of life which happens, although you can never be prepared for.
I'm glad everything is going well for you, Joe.
PS: Put your avatar back. Its not the same without your smile.
PS EDIT: Oh - it just appeared. Spooky

My sister gave birth last Thursday to a little girl.
She's called her Chloe Anna, and she weighed 6'8.
I'm off down to Pembrokeshire tomorrow to visit my new neice for the first time!
