happy that you and your wife are expecting! I'm sure it comes with

too. <<<

This is a tough one to answer. We always planned on having lots of babies.
Louisa wants 5 (we both have 4 brothers and sisters each). So in that
respect deciding to have another baby wasn't difficult. As for the timing,
well, we decided that as we have had fertility problems (PCOS) that we
should try sooner rather than later. We waited nearly 3 years before we were
blessed with Abi. So to answer yor question, it was about 3 months before we
started "trying" for another baby.

After a couple of subtle warning signs, Louisa thought that we might have
been lucky so we did a test and yep, we were pregnanat. So off the see the
quack who arranged for a dating scan, because we can never be sure with
Louisa's dates (PCOS). Well what a surprise, far from being 6 weeks gone we
found out we were 13 and a half weeks. So looking back it looks like Twinkle
was conceived first "attempt". Louisa put is so very eloquently "we must
have got pregnent when we were still doing it just for fun. Blimey, all that
unecessary sex !!!"

So, as you can see, we thought that the time was right after about 3 months
because we thought we would be waiting a long time. Clearly, Twinkle had
other ideas. Hope this is useful??? And boy, am I setting myself up with
that quote of Louisa's.

Any one want to see the potential names shortlist?

Lots of love
