    Sammy - I got both boys passport pics done at max speilmann it was really quick n easy :)

    Age gaps I like a 2-3yr gap the boys are 2yrs5mth apart and I would love to start TTC in June which if I got PG straight away would give a 2yr 9mth gap. I don't know how anyone copes with exhaustion and sickness with a demanding non talking toddler?!

    Thankfully I don't have sickness, but exhaustion I do.. and the little imp allowed me to get about 5 hours broken sleep last night.. today I could kill. And she isn't a toddler, she is a baby!!! Toddlers are easy.. but Squeak wants boobing and changing and feeding and entertaining and carrying about and my back is flooked.

    sammy any photo shop on the high street does passport photos or somewhere like timpsons. Much easier with a baby than in a photo booth - the rules on expressions etc are a bit more relaxed for babies

    A very proud Mummy to 3 beautiful girls... I do pity my husband though, he's the one to suffer the hormones...
    Krystal is so smart and funny and wonderful I am struck dumb in awe in her presence.
