Could well be, I know lafrog was attempting dipABRSM singing whilst pregnant but I think she left before the baby was born. It must have been born by now though; I wonder how she's doing.
Congratulations again Ellie

Fantastic news - quite a Distinction performance. Bet she'll add aurally to the family and you'll be standing on the scales to see if you're getting back to the right weight. Should think you're thrilled to pieces and we are all overjoyed at sight-reading your message
Many congratulations - give her an oboe reed to suck and get her interested now! (Only joking in case anybody thinks I'm serious - would in fact, of course, be highly dangerous!)
Hope you and little Kate will be very happy and all will go well for you. Let us know how you're getting on (and her Dad too)

Wow, well done. I've heard that pregnancy is worth all the pain and struggle and although I'm not sure if I strictly agree ( 
) I do respect very much anyone who carries through with it. Hey if we were all as squeamish as me, none of us would be here. Congratulations!

Congratulations! she sounds sounds lovely
Congratulations! Thats great news.
Congratulations, elliewelly. You have just embarked on the most important job in the world and I'm sure you'll be really good at it. My advice is to try and get as much sleep in as you can (memories of sleepless nights/days! 
).
Congratulations elliewelly! If you have any pictures of her, I'd love to see them. (I'm quite happy to let other people do all of that childbirth malarkey thank you very much, but end up being Universal Aunt at most large gatherings, so Kate Alexandra is just a welcome member of an ever-expanding tribe).
Welcome to the Forums, Kate Alexandra. <hands over knitted virtual bootees>.
And thanks to whoever supplied the cake, champagne and port.
