We were out in the garden yesterday, just doing a bit of weeding, as you do, when Holly decided she wanted to go on the slide (all by herself)... and so she did.
Here's the proof... Click Me for Video
And just to prove it wasn't a fluke, Here's another Video

Amniocentesis Results
Friday, April 07, 2006
We had a letter from the Hospital yesterday containing the results of Maxine's Amniocentesis. The results were all negative, or to put it their way, normal. Phew we can now relax and Maxine can enjoy her pregnancy.

It's a Boy !!!
Saturday, April 01, 2006
We had a huge scare the other week, when one week later than expected the midwife knocked on our door with the results of a blood test Maxine had had two weeks earlier. The results which came in at 1 in 120 were much lower than the limit of 1 in 250. When Maxine was carrying Holly the result was just over at 1 in 251.
All this meant that Maxine had to go into Hospital to have an amniocentesis on 22nd March, where they draw amniotic fluid from her to test for Down Syndrome, Edwards Syndrome and Patau's Syndrome amongst other things.
Two days later we had some initial results that concluded that the tests were negative. They still have to grow a culture and retest, which can take up to 3 weeks, but at least we now know that the three worse case scenario's have been discounted.
As part of this full test we opted to find out the sex of the baby. However, Maxine had a scan on 28th March and there was no mistaking what we saw. It is most definitely a Boy.
