Hi all,
Any word on who the father is? LOL
When the belly comes off is there a
baby?

Hi,Me again;)
I've found a picture and some info on Midge, worth
a look if your interested. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/americas/2608867.stm

This information was passed to me today from a an NCT colleague:
"The Telegraph reports today that Claudia Schiffer had a baby boy yesterday at
the Portland by cs . ' She had been hoping for a natural birth but was
advised against it because she had injured her foot'. "

which he read on the way home. He had finished the book by the
