FLASHBACK FRIDAY




Anyone recognize the baby above? The first picture was taken in 1978, the second, less than two years later. If these hints don't help you, then maybe a more current picture will...


Still nothing?


How about the name Louise?


Are we getting closer?

"Louise Joy Brown?"


All coming back to you now?


If none of this makes sense, I'll end the mystery and tell you the photos are of Louise Joy Brown, the world's first IVF baby. Of course when she was born, the term was "test tube baby" - one that today, thankfully, is recognized as politically incorrect. She was born thirty years ago today - July 25, 1978, paving the way for more than 3 million other children who have been born via IVF since then!
