Hi everyone

What sort of day are you all having today? I love Thursdays as we have playgroup in the morning and that keeps my two year old happy which in turn makes me happy and a happy mummy is very important!

Just a bit about me/us - married to DH with two beutiful sons - the oldest is two years and 2 months and the youngest is 5 months (9/5/06).

We tried for quite a while to conceive with no luck - saw many Drs, specialists etc who all quoted "unexplained infertility" as the cause, which was very frustrating as I would almost have rathered there was a name put to why we couldnt get pregnant so we could try fixing it. Anyway we started IVF in 2003 - first attempt I was told I wasnt pregnant and then a day later was told yes you are, but my progesterone level was very very low so they thought it might be ectopic, but it wasnt so they said well maybe this pregnancy is going to be OK, but I miscarried at about 7 weeks.
We tried IVF the following month, with no success which was very depressing especially as I found out I wasnt pregnant on the day of my 30th birthday.

Then wouldnt you know it I got pregnant naturally the following month with my first son. I had a great pregnancy - minor PE but nothing major and he was born naturally - all in all a fantstic experience.
Fell pregnant again with second son - very similar pregnancy and had a great natural/drug free birth. I can say great now but at the time I was thinking oh my ******** what have I done!!

Since DS birth in May we have been on a roller coaster of emotions and stresses as DS has been very very unsettled and we have spent a lot of time with paeds, CAFHS, hosptials to try and work out what is going on. Silent reflux, allergies have all been quoted and we have tried medication for all of these, with little success, but something amazing has started to happen!! Over the past couple of weeks (touch wood) he has started to become a much happier, settled baby and is now sleeping quite well and is now a great feeder! I have my fingers crossed we a re over the worst of it and we can focus on enjoying him.

Well I have gone on for long enough but wanted to introduce myself and tell my story - albeit a condensed version.

Has anyone started their may baby on solids yet? I was only thinking this morning that it wont be too far away for us.

I had best run as they are both asleep and I am going to vege out for a while!!
