Joy - just remember to go on your instincts.. it seems that every man and his dog have advice on babies, but you need to go by what you feel. I remember feeling really tired and exhausted in the hospital, and thought I had to leave my baby in the bassinette - neither of us got any sleep, until one of the nurses showed me how to co-sleep with Alex and it made the world of difference, for me.. BUT we are all different, so it might not work for you.
Redlady - we went through IVF (hit the jackpot first go) as we didn't know anyone who would be a donor... I saw an SBS series on making babies (I think it was called) and they followed a couple who did at home (with a syringe) and it worked for them. We told all our close family and friends about using donor sperm - but that suited us.
