    Very much so. Won't be unhappy either way, but a boy would be very nice.

    Do you think you and Lucy will want to know ahead of time? I suspect you'd prefer the surprise :)

    We want to know ASAP. Just to prepare really. I believe we can be told after the Nuchal scan, but if not, we'll wait until 20 weeks.

    Amber can drink through a straw! Does this mean she's no longer a baby? We bought the boys those cups with the straws that wind round the cup (they have lids too) and she grabbed one, I thought she was just chewing at the straw, but no, she was helping herself to juice.

    I think you can get baby beakers with straws? Might get her one. She's only just started using a cup for juice.

    Tia, Caitlyn's a wizz with a straw too... She shucked back nearly a whole carton of apple juice the other day!

    I don't have any cups with curly straws though... They don't go through the dishwasher well...

    My Mum hated mine with a passion! Once it broke I wasn't allowed another one :(

    David is so cute, Hammy! He looks very grown up in that pic.

    We're off to Center Parcs tomorrow and I can not wait.

    Is it a family holiday/long weekend or a hen weekend? I am ever so slightly jealous :o

    David just has water to drink (and house white :p) - at what age are babies supposed to start drinking juice?
    The one thing children wear out faster than shoes is parents ;):o:D
