  • Oh great, we are up to week 16, I did not see this earlier today, I look forward to every one, I am going to be very sad when we get to week 40, please continue the newborn phase at least, this is so lovely for would be mums, new mums, and us old mums who in some cases missed the high techie stuff with ultrasounds that are available now, I had twins and lots of ultrasounds and xrays, but my daughter I had one at 12 weeks, then she arrived at 40 weeks so I missed out on the growing bit. thankyou for sharing.

    • oh yeah that would be great to see the newborn phase even up to the first year

      • at this stage, there isn’t that continuation
