Hi i am a mother of Charlise who is nearly one (born the day after Christmas!) and am living happily in a long term relationship with Mark with whom i have been with for the last 14 years.  We are currently trying for our second child (the trying is the fun bit LOL) and are building our first home in a nice country town in Victoria, Australia. 

We hope one day to have a family of about 4 children but all will depend on how my body copes during future pregnancies as i got very ill with Charlise - i developed HELLP syndrome which is a very sever and rare form of pre-eclampsia - and as such ended up having an emergency caesarean at 33.5 weeks.  Charlise ended up spending nearly 4 weeks in the Special Care Nursery until she gained some weight as she was only 1.5kgs born (TINY!!!)
