Congratulations to Keri Russel and Fiance Shane Deary. They announced today through Keri’s PR rep that they are expecting a baby.

This will be the first child for both Keri and Shane, who have been together for several years. The bundle is expected to arrive at this summer.

Keri played the title role of Felicity Porter in the hit WB drama from 1998 to 2002. In 2006 she appeared opposite Tom Cruise in Mission: Impossible 3.

Her new movie, the indie romantic comedy Waitress, was directed by the late Adrienne Shelly and screens next week at the Sundance Film Festival. The Cover Girl spokeswoman will also star later this year in August Rush with Robin Williams and Girl in the Park with Kate Bosworth.

NURSERY RHYMES FOR THE BLAHNIK BRIGADE

A cute book for the posh baby. If you are looking to get something unique for the baby who already has everything, this could be your gift.

This Little Piggy went to Prada is the must-have gift for new mums. It’s politically incorrect, utterly frivolous and lots of fun.

Glamorous businesswoman, successful entrepreneur and first- time author (and mother) Amy Allen has made poetry out of her inability to relate to pease pudding and attempts at talking fashion with a gurgling newborn.

Sumptuously bound in contrasting hot pink and rich red linen, This Little Piggy went to Prada features spectacular colour illustrations by Eunkyung Kung to coo over, and tongue-in-cheek humour to make mums smile, even when they’re knee-deep in nappies.

This book is different that the nursery rhymes we grew up with. A modern adaptation for the fashionista in training.

Available at the books official site thislittlepiggywenttoprada.com for 12.95£

When Jasmin Nethercoat had her photograph taken on her first birthday, little did her parents realise the picture would save her sight.

Her mother Vicki had the photograph developed - only to notice a strange spot reflected in her daughter’s left eye.

After seeing an optician, a GP and a specialist, the family was sent to Great Ormond Street Hospital where doctors found cancerous tumours in both of Jasmin’s eyes.

There was a risk that she would lose the sight in her left eye to the cancer, called retinoblastoma, and so within two weeks she had begun chemotherapy.

Retinoblastoma (RB) is the most common eye cancer in children and it can be inherited.

Although the most common eye cancer in children, retinoblastoma is quite rare and occurs in approximately 1 in every 20,0000 births.

The goal with retinoblastoma is early detection to maximize the visual outcome and the quality of life of the affected child. Fortunately, the survival rate for affected children is 96%.

In order to achieve our goal of early detection, we believe it is important to educate the public and other health professionals on the signs that might manifest themselves with a child that has retinoblastoma. We encourage people to share this information with others as many of the signs are very subtle and may not be picked up even by a health professional, due to the rarity of this disease.

EARLY DETECTION IS THE KEY!!!!

Common signs of retinoblastoma include:

* a white “glow” or “glint” in the pupil of one or both eyes in dim lighting
* white pupil in a color photo
* crossed or misaligned eyes

This photo shows the “white glow” often indicating the presence of a tumor. If you notice this white glow in any of your children’s photos, please contact your pediatrician or ophthalmologist immediately and have their eyes examined. Request pupil dilation of both eyes. If your physician is unable or unwilling to do the pupil dilation, please insist on a referral.
