Well, after much thought and discussion, B and I have decided that now is the right time to start trying for child number three. Aidan and Kieran will soon be five and three respectively, and they are now at an age when they can play together and entertain themselves for a while, leaving us time to look after a little one.

It’s a big step, and I’m a little nervous. I’m glad we recently bought a car with seating for six as the extra row is going to come in handy. I’m not sure what we’ll do about the house – with only two bedrooms, it might be time to look into something a little larger. I’ve already been thinking about moving out to the suburbs to be closer to good schools and those convenient big box stores.

I’ve actually found this blog is getting a little dull with recycled posts about music and the boys. So, for the next few months, I thought I’d offer an alternative and give people an intimate view of our attempts to become a quintet (sorry, no photos). I’ll be posting B’s ovulation chart later this week so you can follow along and offer encouragement. We’re really hoping for a girl this time, so if you have any advice on timing or positions to achieve this, please let us know before we get too far along.
