You order a pound of meat for example.

Who from the past can we blame for this

Girl, 7lb 6oz.

And for some strange reason, I had a dream about this last night. I don't remember details, but I woke up this morning and your baby was one of my first thoughts (after fighting the dogs to get to the loo first!!).

Hair?? Well they say loads of heartburn = loads of hair and it certainly turned out that way with casey...same this time so hopefully not looking too much like shearer
