Swimming Lessons

The Little Man goes to swimming lessons once a week, but as it was school holidays this week so we booked him in for a full week of lessons, half an hour each day.  As we have a pool at home, we think that it is important that he can at least get himself back to the edge if he falls in.

There are only so many tea parties with the teddies that you can have in one day.

This is Our Story So Far - Part 1 - The Little Man

I have put together this blog while my children are small, you will be able to watch us grow, hopefully helping you out on the way with some tips and tricks that we find out.  But I thought that we should really start at the beginning so that you know what we have come through to get us to this point. I have written 2 parts as it is a bit long, I hope that you will hang in there and read it all.

It took us several months to conceive, after finding out that I had hyperprolactinaemia and wasn’t able to ovulate, as my body was producing very high levels
