But It Worked



So after a round of IVF, for anyone who has gone through IVF I salute you, for anyone who hasn't I hope the need never arises, on October 26th it was confirmed I am pregnant!
There aren't any words that rightly express how happy, thrilled, terrified, excited and afraid I am.


After a few months of swollen blurgh and huge expense there was the pending fear of the negative pregnancy test followed by the emotional elation of a positive pregnancy test, tears, laughter, joy, fear, excitement, overwhelming love a veritable rainbow of emotions!! There aren't really words to describe how fantastic it is to hear this kind of news so I won't bother trying to explain, needless to say ones heart explodes.

This was followed by a few weeks of feeling really freakin unwell - I was totally bewildered that ANYONE has a sibling - who the hell would do this twice? Feeling as though you are on a bad ferry ride across the English Channel all freakin day! Random acts of vomiting, killer headaches and being more tired than a woman who ran the Paris Dakar. Of course there's the old don't tell anyone til the 12 weeks stage which is so hard, especially if like me, secrets make you nervous, not to mention the fact that you look like you ate all the pies and then some but can't explain your frumpy look to anyone.

But then da dah - your baby grows and you get to see its little bits on ultrasounds and your tummy rounds and you can share the awesome news with all and sundry, the second trimester sure delivers....... I'm feeling a whole hell of a lot better and I now look pregnant! I feel all woman. 

I feel blessed, full and madly in love!
