Surprise!

Sharon (aka @happymouffetard, or my wife Mrs Hopkinson) is pregnant! Working title for the new member of the family is Beetle. Below you can see images from the dating scans, the due date is 21st February. In real life Beetle had a bit of a thrash around and demonstrated various bits of anatomy.

Technically @happymouffetard is described as “Geriatric Primigravida”

    Congratulations to you and Mrs Hopkinson. I will be delighted and surprised if your “laat lammertjie” (late lamb) arrives as predicted on my birthday.

  2. Congratulations! I love the labels on the top scan pic to point out the head!

    1. Thanks Bill x

      Thanks! We’ll let you know how close the estimated date was when it happens!
