At the moment, this blog will have very limited readership. It is the start of 2009 and amid the economic downturn Team Challis is putting its expansion plans into action.

Fidget is a brilliant little girl, and M and I would love to give her a little brother or sister. I wanted to enjoy our 2008 Christmas together as a family without morning sickness and being able to drink a glass of wine or two! So we decided to wait until the new year to start.

And now the new year has finally arrived. I have to say I am scared. I found the pregnancy with Fidget hard. I was very naieve and this time all I realise is that it is still not going to be like I imagine it or remember it from last time, but I do feel more prepared.

I have been going to circuit training with N most Wednesday evenings for the later part of 2008, we have been eating healthily and I am now off the booze and on the folic acid!

So we have got started, I am not going to give any more details than that...it is not that sort of website! I wanted to start this parallel blog (inspired by Mush and Growing Dollop) to record the process and my thoughts and feelings as we go. I certainly don't intend to be posting any of this stuff on the main website. I normally just focus on the fun stuff on that one, and try to keep a record of Fidget's development. Clearly at the mo this is all under wraps, but I will struggle to keep much from the mummies. Mush already knows that we are trying as we have been clear about our plans in the past. They will all know we are trying, but I guess they wont know if we are successful.

I am trying not to get too excited and hopeful as it could take a long time to get pregnant. But I can't help feeling like I already am pregnant, which is bad as I will just be really disapointed when my period comes around.
