About me

I am she who wears the cranky pants: a thirty four year old Mum to two gorgeous ICSI pixies and one bonus baby and wife to one very cheeky husband.

This blog has evolved from over six years of Internet rants and ramblings*, mostly related to the journey into parenthood following over two years of trying to conceive number one child, with an ectopic pregnancy, IVF/ICSI treatment and Graves’ Disease (a thyroid condition) along the way.  Then there’s the epilogue involving the very surprising and against the odds natural conception of our third gorgeous daughter.

Who knows what the future holds?

So strap yourself in and enjoy some hastily written and mostly ill informed commentary, coloured by my propensity for rapidly changing moods. Who knows, maybe I may actually engage and entertain you with my little tales, and hopefully I will develop some writing skills to boot. Provided I actually pay attention and put in some effort or something.

*I started this blog in August 2005, however I had been keeping on online diary of sorts since November 2001 on a site called Essential Baby. Luckily for you (or not as the case may be) I have imported this preblog diary and it can now be viewed at random via the archives or starting from here.
