I am 30 years old and have been married for almost 9 years with two of the most beautiful girls I know .(I am biased I know) We are currently undergoing IVF for a third child (the girls were also conceived this way) and I am going a little crazy and consumed by it all. I am currently a stay at home Mum and am starting to toy with the idea of going back to study, I have developed an interest in Midwifery, possibly because of our situation who knows.

My eldest daughter is going to be starting school next year which is exiting for her and a little sad for me, she is 5. I got lucky with her she is such an easy going, go lucky kind of kid. I am constantly surprised by the level of her caring and empathy for other people, she amazes me.  I suffered post natal depression afer having her and once i got passed this (with amazing support from my husband) she was truly the light of my life.

My youngest daughter is 2 and she is almost the polar opposite of her sister. She is stubborn as a mule, rough as guts and completely unaware of what is going on around her more ofter than not, plus if tantrums were an olympic event I would have a gold medalist in the house.  We have had some health issues with her as well , she passes out when she gets really upset or hurts herself which is scary because you never know how, when or why it happens, we have recently been told that she is an extreme breath holder with exceptional control of her sympathetic system.

I guess like every one else I have days when I wish I could turn back time and do things differently, I go to bed exhausted and wake up exhausted, I clean the house to have it look like a bomb site 10 minutes later and more ofter than not wander if my kids speak a different language to me or come from a different planet but having said all this I would not change one minute of it for all the gold in the world.
