Well my DCs seem to strip off at any given occasion so not very long Grin maybe 18 months old?

About twenty weeks between conception and scan confirming gender. LOL.

Maybe forty weeks if scan did not confirm.

After that, nope.

i cant hold my own piss, so erm 5 mins at a push ??? Blush

About two minutes. I can't play that yes/no game, so I doubt I could stop myself fucking up with the him/her game!

Not that I ever would try to hide it though.

My ds who is 3 comes home everyday undresses his bottom half and hangs about the house in a top and bare bum.

I had the chimney sweep around and my ds and his friend also 3 came down the stairs starkers. My guess would be about 3 mins.

I have known the sex of my baby since 15 weeks and am now 37 weeks. I have managed not to tell anyone or slip up. Don't think i can keep it up after birth though.

Cutiecat - congratulations - and isn't it difficult when you buy clothes, that you can't show them to anyone?

Atswimtwolengths - i have one of each already so just washing the white stuff. It has been hard at times but DH wanted a surprise and the children lve the whole guessing element. It does mean i have the upper hand with names. :)
