In Australia, there is a great debate going on between conservatives and politicians about gay marriage saying that kids need both a mother and a father, and that having a mum and a dad is the best thing for the kids! But who asked the kids? Maya Newell, a gayby (child of gay parents) is creating a documentary to ensure the kids’ voices are heard. …

It all happened as it should today. We arrived early as the traffic was nice to us, picked up our coffee supply (for K as I’m now sticking to de-caf), and then had 20 minutes to sit and read trashy magazines before we got called in for ‘the procedure’! The head lady of the clinic did the procedure and I could tell she loved this …
No Jack-knifed trucks today, thank god! It took me just two hours today and it flew as I was listening to a new audiobook – a thriller that kept me enthralled the entire trip. I got my bloods done by a nice young lad who after spending 10 minutes trying to find a vein, he found the perfect one and got it flowing immediately. The bloods were …
This morning I woke to the ever so annoying pain of my period, but instead of cringing and complaining of the pain of it, I was excited and a little scared. The reality of ‘Day one’ has struck!

My parents have just returned home after a weeks visit with K and I. Not sure how, but I somehow survived past day two with them without going insane and losing the plot. I managed to take a week off work, which of course I’m suffering for now, but it was nice not to have to do anything even though it was hard to restrain myself from working sometimes. …
We still have over a month before our next IVF Clinic appointment, in which we choose from the donor list! It’s good in a way as it’s given us a bit more time to save our pennies, but it just seems so far away. I feel the biological clock ticking everyday, and just want to get started. There are all these signs around me reminding me of …
This is a question I’ve been asking myself a lot lately. I want it all, being a mum, having a job, being an actress, a photographer, a partner….the list goes on. But how? Do I really want to be up till midnight every night working when the baby’s asleep, only to then get up at 4am to feed it. I don’t know what to give up and …
