Had a lot more lazy Sundays in bed, can't remember the last one or when I'll get the next one.

Having a baby really makes you appreciate long periods of sleep.

Hmmmm great question!

The one thing I wish I had done is to have blown loads of money on clothes, shoes, hair, make up, anything girlie just for me and not felt guilty about it!

DH and I wish that we had of travelled further than what we did but I guess we can do that when DD is older and left home! hehe!

I don't wish we'd done anything differently, it's all been timed great for us I wanted to travel (and we did go to Japan in 2006 for 6months) but wanted kids more, but once this next bubba is 1 the plan is to go back to Japan for a couple of years, save more money, then come back in time for DD to start school, and buy a house. We can do Europe etc when we're older

As for things you should do while waiting for IVF - I agree with the others re movies/dinners out, sleep ins (man I miss those lol) and lots of couple time
DD 4yrs
DS 2yrs

I did everything I wanted to - and a little bit more, like you it took longer for us than we hoped.

The one thing I did that I'm pleased about - although sometimes it was hard to when you want kids so badly - is really try and enjoy the things that you can easily take for granted before kids. The little things others have mentioned - sleep-ins, romantic meals out, spontaneous trips away. No matter how badly we wanted Jacob, and while I love him to teeny tiny bits, I still miss some of those things!!
