First IVF baby is now pregnant

Andy, in case you haven't heard I'm sure you'd be interested to hear that I read in a newspaper that the world's first IVF baby (Louise Brown) is now three months pregnant herself. The baby was conceived naturally and Louise described it as 'a dream come true'. It's said to be a relief as she reportedly feared that the fertility problems her parents faced may have been passed on to her. She is 27.

Look what I did!

Since there are a few proud daddies on this blog, and Father's Day has just been, I thought I'd point you all to this Look what I did design. It's a fun and cute way for a dad to be to boast about his exciting news while bringing a smile to everyone's face.

If you have any fun stories about how you announced that *you* were about to become a father, Send them to pregnancyannouncement@yahoo.com and it could be published at this pregnancy announcement website.

Playdough Recipe

Today my kids have been at a loose end so we decided to make some playdough. A quick trip to the grocery store for a bag of flour and some cream of tartar and we were off. My son asked for two colours - green and gold - which is kind of sad given that Australia were knocked out of the World Cup in the wee hours of this morning. Never mind - we've still got playdough:

PLAYDOUGH RECIPE

Ingredients

* 1/2 cup salt
* 1 cup flour
* 1 tablespoon cream of tartar
* 1 tablespoon oil
* 1 cup water
* food coloring

What to do:

1. Combine ingredients in a saucepan. Heat gently and keep stiring until the dough is no longer sticky. Take it off the heat and allow to cool. Store in a ziplock bag or airtight container. Non-toxic (just doesn't taste all that good!)

Baby Pirate Gear

Yo ho ho! Looking for a cute baby pirate t-shirt or onesie? Or a pirate tee for an older child? Then look no further! At Zavvy Zoo Kids we have a whole lot of pirates to choose from. Our pirates were designed originally for our two kids, Loll (7) and Zavvy (19 mths) who love dressing up and play acting. Zavvy looks cute is his pirate captain t-shirt (see below) and Loll loves his red pirate baseball jersey (see our store homepage)


Baby Pirate Infant/Toddler T-Shirt

Introducing our 6 year old baby.

Firstly, thanks Andy for inviting me to this blog.

Like the father from ‘3 girls and us’ I’m a dad with 3 girls. However we have 2 boys too so the gender balance is a little more even.


Our CafePress Store was started in 2000 because my partner wanted some shirts for a Natural Birth Support Group she founded. Once I started, I kept having ideas for things I’d like to see on a shirt and the store grew quickly. The first designs were all about natural birth , home birth and gifts for midwives (my partner chose to give birth at home with all our kids).


But then I also started to have ideas for mothers to be to announce a pregnancy , ideas for gifts for dads to be , brothers and sisters to be , ideas for telling first time grandparents the exciting news etc. Now there are hundreds of designs about pregnancy in many different sections at Materni-Tee.com


Now that we offer an affiliate program for baby and pregnancy sites, sales are increasing faster than ever. I’m very happy to share 20% of the sale price with the people who post links to our designs because it means people who wouldn’t otherwise know about them are getting to see the cute knocked up tanks , I’m going to be a big brother kids tees and dad-to-be sweatshirts as well as all the pregnancy announcement shirts for mums (or moms).


I love receiving feedback so please send any comments to Materni-Tee@myway.com And if you haven’t seen them before have a browse through the pregnancy designs atwww.Materni-Tee.com
