Born at 00:58 on 22nd November 2009 to proud parents Tracy & Ricky, and weighing in at 8lb 5oz. Following a long and difficult day of labour, Isaac still didn’t want to be delivered. At 11:30 it was decided to take Tracy into the operating theatre and attempt a forceps delivery, but it was unsuccessful, so Isaac was delivered by Caesarean Section.
Mother and baby are doing very well.

Latest developments from Pip:
- Mummy & Daddy tried to entice me out today by buying a bigger car & apparently I get the whole back seat to myself (and most of the boot) #
- They are collecting the car on Friday – maybe I’ll wait until then before I start my journey ;o) #
- So, this is it… According to the schedule – today’s the day!! #
- Right – I’m off with Mummy & Daddy to the Doctor for a final check-up. #
- Doctor says everything is fine – I’m now 4/5 engaged and Mummy’s uterus has dropped (which is a good thing). Almost on my way! #
- I hear the weather out there is pretty dodgy, but it’s warm and snug in here. Can’t think of a good enough reason to come out there yet! x #
- Mummy says that she is able to list a ton of them though, if I’m interested ;o) #
Latest developments from Pip:
- Just testing mobile updates – not long now until we’ll be updating from the hospital! #
- I’ve not even been born yet and you can already buy a Pip converter! – http://ping.fm/p/XdPF6 #
- Latest Stats: I should now measure about 51cm (20 in) from head to toe and weigh about 3.4kg (7.4 lbs) which means I’m ready for delivery! #
- My amniotic fluid used to be clear but is now pale and milky; I’ve been shedding the white vernix caseosa which has been protecting my skin. #
- Mummy just felt a twinge! Hope it’s the start of something big!! #
- My due date is just one week today!! How exciting… See you all soon. I do my best to keep updating you through the labour & delivery. #
- So the twinge turned out to be nothing at all. Shame – I was looking forward to my journey ;o) #
- Apparently only five per cent of babies are born on their scheduled due date – for Mummy’s sake, I plan to be one of them!! #
- I’m so big now that I keep getting my feet caught up in Mummy’s ribs – she lets me know it makes her uncomfortable and I try to move around. #
- Could this be my last weekend in Mummy’s tummy? I certainly hope so!!! All the hard work is about to pay off… #
- I love you Mummy… Thank you… x #

Latest developments from Pip:
- Apparently my organ systems are now fully developed and in place – strange as Mummy & Daddy aren’t musical. #
- My lungs will be last thing to reach maturity. Even after I’m born, it may take a few hours before I establish a normal breathing pattern. #
- Hmmm – am I a boy or a girl? Place your bets please… [everyone else seems to be convinced one way or the other] #
- Mummy & Daddy are off to see the midwife to discuss a birth plan. #
- I now weigh between 3kg and 3.2kg (that’s 6.6 lbs to 7 lbs). #
- Right – just over a week left in here. I’ve been reading the schedule and am planning to be on time. #
Latest developments from Pip:
- Don’t worry, I’m still here – and still growing – and putting on lots of fat. #
- I should now have a full head of hair – Daddy will be so proud! :o) #
- After much deliberation, testing, mind-changing & more deliberation, my new wheels have just arrived! Black with lime green detail – classy. #
- My head is now cradled in Mummy’s pelvic cavity, ready for the journey, and protected by the pelvic bones. #
- Daddy has just been chatting to me – due to the amniotic fluid, I can’t answer back, so I kicked back instead. #
- Latest Stats: I now weight approx 2.8kg / 6.1 pounds and measure 48.6cm / 19.1 in from head to toe. #
- Now my head is engaged I have a little more space to grow my arms and legs (and to kick Mummy’s diaphragm). #
- Yay – the pictures from my first photo shoot are ready!! {thanks to Laura at http://www.just-shoot-me.co.uk } #

- All fine at the Doctors – I’m now 3/4 engaged!! Can’t wait to meet you all… #

- Mummy & Daddy can now occasionally see my elbows, feet & head protruding from Mummy’s stomach when I stretch and squirms about. #
- The wall of Mummy’s tummy is now thinner and there’s more light coming in. I’ve started to develop my own daily routine… #
- I am now sporting full-length fingernails & toenails and have a fully developed pair of kidneys. My liver can also process some waste. Nice! #
- We’ve been checked out by the midwife again and everything is fine. I’m the right size and in the right position. Mummy has put on 1 stone. #
- I’m now moving much less cos there’s less space in here, but I get hiccups more frequently. It’s fun when people come over to feel them. #
