New Years Day 2018

I didn’t think when I woke up on New Years Day that we’d have a family of five by 1.30pm. Waters breaking is an interesting way to start the first morning of 2018! Our twin boys (6pounds and 5.10 pounds) are a dream come true and we feel like we’ve won the lotto – twice.

It’s hard to believe they are here after 10 cycles of IVF. We were lucky.

I tried to convince myself to accept I just wasn’t meant to be a mum-but here I am breastfeeding 2 babies at once (yes and writing this – I was never a multi-tasker) and it feels amazing. It has been such a hard few days with little sleep and all the physical pain-but none of this comes close to being as hard as Infertility, recurrent miscarriages and what comes with it – THAT is truly hard work without reaping any rewards. So please be careful and don’t tell people what hard work being a parent is if you don’t know who you are talking to.

I will share my joy and live in the moment but I’ll never forget our journey and the women and couples I know who are still suffering.

Even with no sleep and all the difficulties – every morning (noon and night) is now like Christmas morning.
