Dear Jacob, You are no longer my future baby but simply my baby. I can’t believe you’re here and you’re perfect. You’re 4 weeks old today. It’s currently 3am and I’m sat up listening to your little snores and noises watching you sleep waiting for your dad to take over for the next few hours.…

Dear future babies Your stories are starting a lot sooner than we could have ever thought. That’s because you have a big brother who entered and left the world sooner than we could have ever thought. His name is Dylan. I am sorry if I say Dylan’s name more times a day than I talk…

Happy Birthday Babies

Dear future babies, Today marks a year since my egg collection. I'm reminiscing about this day. In some ways it feels like forever ago but in others, it feels like it was yesterday. It was definitely the start of the most exciting but nerve wracking part of our IVF story. We still have 2 embryos…
