we live in Greenock, Scotland (about 60 miles outside Glasgow).

I work in social care supporting adults with living disabilities to maintain life in the community which I love (although dreading going back and leaving my little Matty-man)

We were ttc for 3 years with a cycle of IVF in there, fell preg naturally while on a 'break' between cycles 10 weeks bedfore my wedding last Sept

. 26th Sept will be our first wedding anniversary and 13 years to the day we met (childhood sweethearts)

Hiya Gillian-I am Donna and am 23 from Bracknell in Berkshire (Darn Sarf to you!

)

I live with Brooke's Daddy who is Alan, 29. We have just celebrated our 3rd year together.

Brooke was a planned (and very much wanted!) baby, we concieved on our 3rd cycle of 'trying'. Unfortunatly I suffered 2 miscarriages before her so she really does feel like she was meant to be.

Nice to 'meet' you all

everyone. I'm Emma. I'm 26 and I'm from Portsmouth. I live with Molly's Daddy, his name is Dave and he is 30. We have been married for two years and together for 9 years. My husband does the same job as you Gillian! I'm on maternity leave until November then I'll be going back to work as a deputy manager in a call centre. I love my job but I'm dreading leaving Molly, but I know she will be safe with my mum. We conceived Molly the first month I came off the pill, we were very lucky

Matthew and Brooke are gorgeous

Hi
I'm Bec, I'm 34 and am married to Paul and living in Manchester. We were trying for 15 months before we were lucky enough to conceive Poppy.

I'm going back to work as an Office Manager in October and am dreading it, even though my mum and dad will look after Poppy and it will be for 2 days a week.

Big

to you all

hi ladies, great idea for post,

Danielle, 27 from very rainy Kilmarnock, ayrshire and my dh, Kevin and i will be celebrating our first wedding anniversary on the 18th sept! Had Emma four weeks later though that was highly unexpected lol!!

Very lucky to conceive on first cycle though was mega surprised and had to bring the wedding forward or i would have waddled down the aisle, that decision was major blessing as low and behold Emma came 14 weeks early.

Work as a mental health nurse and due back two days a week first week October!! Good that grandparents be watching Em but still gonna be hard, only got her home end of June, but needs must eh!!

Cant wait to celebrate ems birthday and 2nd but proper xmas, never thought ad see the day!! ok am going on now......!!! xxx

Hi ladies...I'm Nicola, I'm married to Kyle..we have been together for over 12 years. I'm 30..we live in North Vancouver, B.C. (Canada). We had one late miscarriage at 19 years old...another missed miscarriage in 2007 after they failed to find the babies heartbeat on our second ultrasound. We decided to stop trying when we found out we were pregnant with Lakai.

I worked as an accountant before having Lakai, but will not be returning to work when my maternity leave is up. I just feel its pointless for me to work to pay for daycare alone..when I could just stay home. My hubby is self employed so I will be helping him out from time to time with grant writing. So I will have some income.

Nice to meet you all.

Hey there,

My name is Dona and I am married to Gordon and live in Edinburgh. We have been married for 12 yrs...my wedding was the day Lady Diana died. Anyway, we planned to have Archie but had a miscarriage. 4 Months later we were blessed with falling again and Archie was born on 8th February 2009 13 weeks early. I work for a large Life Assurance Company in Edinburgh as a Sales Manager and go back in Jan or Feb...can't decide yet, and Gordon is a Sheriff Clark in the Sheriff court.

Archie will be going into full time nursery upon my return to work. I am a bit nervous but I know its for the best.

Nice to meet you all!

Hi

I'm Sandi (23) and live in Edinburgh, with my OH (27). We have been together for 4 years (and as some of you know we were engaged but I have now put this on hold)

I was a administrator for a nursery franchise - we are still unsure whether i will return however due to Alex's crazy arrival. (12+4 weeks early)

We had two miscarriages before having Alex. (one 'blighted ovum' and one very early m/c) We were starting fertility testing and OH started to have tests and I was having scans.

I had basically given up all hope until I discovered I was having Alex just a few weeks after my last m/c. Of course I was very tentitive about the whole thing. But finally seeing a heartbeat at 6weeks was a huge deal. I was even told at 8 weeks the pregnancy was unlikely to last - but here we are.

Nice to meet you all!!!!
