12 days old - Evie's first freckle?

So I managed to freak M&D out today - they thought I'd developed my first freckle.
Unlikely since I've only been outside twice, and the sun hasn't been out in Potters Bar since August.

Anyway, turns out (once Dad had decided to be brave enough to touch it) that it was some Nutella!

Nice one Mum.

(and don't forget to comb the toast crumbs out of my hair either - otherwise I'll get the healthcare visitor onto you).

10 days old - Joe's massive clown feet!

listen up ladies - you know what they say about boys with big feet...

10 days old - our first play together

When we say play what we actually mean is M&D trying to get us to play for the camera, and us ignoring them.


We still love to sleep! (except between about midnight and 4am when we're quite happy keeping everyone awake with our vocal harmonies - tonight the bedroom, tomorrow X factor...)

10 days old - our first outing!

Just look at what Dad made us wear in our car seats - I mean really...

and Evie already loves Hello Kitty (apparently)

5 days old - back home

We're quite happy sleeping together on the outside, and according to M&D we're being really really good - gurgling and all that...

(Except that Evie has projectile-crapped on Dad twice - he needs to improve his nappy changing technique.)

1 day old - time for a well earned rest

Joe:


I apparently look like my Dad, which is bad news. I'm already saving for Grecian 2000.

Evie:


I have a very minor 'incomplete' cleft lip, but my palate is fine. I get plastic surgery in 3 months to fix it - plus I get the option of a nose job if I want one when I'm 17 - cool! (not that I need one, but hey - a girl's gotta have options)

We're quite happy sleeping for now.

1 minute old - the break for freedom

We were born on the 18th December 2007 at the QEII hospital in Welwyn Garden City.

Evie - 21.21pm - 4.5lbs

Joe - 21.22pm - 6.11lbs

We escaped via the sunroof.

Evie:

Joe:

minus 20 weeks - getting a little cramped

So by now we've got faces, arms, legs, hands, feet, in fact we're almost fully formed.
If any of you can figure any of that out from this image, you're doing better than Dad.

Mum is getting very uncomfortable because Joe insists on kicking the crap out of her stomach, and Evie is head-butting her uterus.

Joe is also getting hiccups on a daily basis.

minus 34 weeks - the adventure begins...

A quick word about our authors - until Joe and Evie learn how to use a keyboard, Dad will be typing on their behalf [editors note: sorry kids if your Dad's an embarassment, you can always delete this post (and any of the others) when you buy your own computer...].

Welcome to our blog!!

Our plan is to submit a post at least once a week so that you can see how we're getting on, how much we've grown, what we're up to, and what ridiculous things our Mum & Dad have made us do.

So to kick off let's wind the clock back to the 24th May 2007 - our adventure begins.

So everything's pretty dark at this stage.

We're relaxed, doing some simple division, taking some serious drugs (thanks mum, you're already too cool for school) and generally not bothering one another.

All is well in the world.

Don't forget to subscribe to Posts using the link below - it will push a feed into your email application every time we submit a post. That way you don't have to remember to look us up every week!

If you don'tunderstand what the hell we're on about, talk to Dad.
