So, my first foray into blogging!   And what did I do?  'Only get the name of my blog wrong!  It's actually meant to be, Thank God for stretchy pants!!!!!!  Not the best of starts, but since i'm technologically challenged, I cant seem to correct it, so Thank God for stretch pants it is!!!!  Not that i'm opposed to the ol stretch pants you understand, but i always associate those with jane fonda and aerobics and since the last time i worked out was probably around the time the first video of the aforementioned guru came out, i'm not terribly familiar with them!

Anyway garment and grammer issues aside, I thought I'd start up a blog and put a few thoughts on electronic paper.  I've been thinking about it for ages and maybe if i type 'em up they'll stop circling round my head!

I'm 40 years old, happily married for nearly 17 years and a happy mum!  We've had a bit of a journey to have our little  Matthew.  TTC for a few years and nada!  We had tests and treatments (more about that anon), heartbreak, happiness, devastation, loss, and finally, finally, Matthew.  He's 2 years old on Sunday and is the finest example of Ethiopian/Irish boyhood!  For after our ivf journey we had an adoption journey, and he is our little prince!  


So, I thought I'd write about our journeys and to anyone who cares to read, I hope you enjoy it and continue on this journey with us!


'Will write soon,
