It is so great to see so many replies!

Nadine, I'm also sorry really for your loss. it sounds like you are still really positive though and that is very important. I really hope it happens for you soon and i'll keep my eyes open for your announcement :-)

Wilson - the new place is great. It's so different to where we used to live. I've met a nice American lady who has a little boy who was born on the 23rd Feb 06.. So only 2 days older than Ben. So Ben has a little friend. Dh loves his new job and things are going well.
I am planning to visit home for a couple of months (alone with ben) early next year. We have started talking about TTC number 2. Most likely we will start as soon as the Australia trip is over. I had a huge shock when i realised there will be (if all goes to plan) a whopping 4 years age gap . I really didnt want that but time goes by soooooooo fast doesnt it? Originally we wanted a maximum 2 year gap.

It's great to hear about the kids being TTed. I keep planning to start Ben but things keep getting in the way!! AGHH! note to self: START THIS WEEK!
