Hi there

I am 23 and my DF is 29, we have been together now for about 15 months. I was in an unhappy marriage and left my husband for him and within a week we had moved in together, as sappy as it sounds I knew then that I wanted to be with him for the long run. We moved in together in February, I got divorced that May and engaged to my DF in July. My DF decided he wanted a long engagement (at least a couple of years) and that was fine, but in October we had a chat and decided that we were going to try for a baby as we both decided that we were ready. I am now 6 months pregnant and other than the odd hormonal phase I go through our relationship is as strong as it was last year and I believe that we are more than ready now. My only regret in a sense is that I would have preferred to have been married to him before we had children but I compromised because that was what he wanted.

HTH

Chelle
