About Me

My photo
For five years I went through hell and back to become a Mummy! I had three miscarriages from natural pregnancies, five IUI attempts, five IVF attempts, and three operations to remove endometriosis, a polyp and a fibroid. I have been with my 'almost perfect' Husband since 2003. We married in 2009 on Valentine's Day and we are extremely happy together. I decided to start a blog because I needed to write down my thoughts and feelings to show myself and others how I was never going to give up until we got our forever baby.

Since having my baby, I'm inspired to create: Baby Blankets by Me & Mum

22 Weeks!

Only 2 weeks to go until Christmas Day and 24 Weeks/Viability Day! So exciting but also nerve wracking. I'm not as relaxed as I have been since Friday when a car went through a junction and almost hit me. I was so shocked and had to take the day off work. All day I could hardly stop myself crying thinking about such a near miss - to have made it this far and someone's silly mistake could have taken it all away from us.
Anyway, extra careful driving and observation from me from now on, if only everyone else would do the same!

I can't stop smiling when I feel baby move. The movements are slightly stronger now and some of them feel really weird as baby swishes around my tummy! In bed in the morning and evening I spend time feeling my bump and feeling the baby move and kick - it is a special time.

For weeks now Hubby has been reading to Baby at bedtime. He read that longer nursery rhymes can increase a baby's attention span and so our regular rhyme is 'The Owl and the Pussycat' by Edward Lear:


He follows this up with more rhymes or stories from a great book he bought. The other night he read 'Chicken-licken' - it made us smile, let alone the baby!
