So here we are. Hoping to conceive. I've been to the family planning clinic, started doing some research on what to eat, and all that jazz and 4 months on I'm still not pregnant.
Now I'm 34 years old so I realise I only have a 20% chance of conceiving now. Pretty scary. But come 1st January, I'm giving up the alcohol too. I'm also looking forward to lots of baby making practice.

It's the start of something exciting
Well at least I have high hopes. I've gone through a real transition over the last couple of years. I was one of those people who never ever, and I mean ever, wanted children. Then something funny happened. I met my husband. He offered me trust, love and security, something I'd never had in a relationship before. And so it happened, I could actually think about having children. The others that came before him had never given me that combination of things that let me even consider having a baby.
Another thing that made me rethink my position about children was that my career was also not giving me the same sense of satisfaction it used to either. So I headed off travelling in November 2006, thinking I needed to find out what business I wanted to start. And came back instead wanting a baby.
It's taken Simon a while to warm up to the idea and he's still very nervous about it. But hey - so am I. But I'm confident it's going to be the biggest and best adventure we'll have ever had together.
