Almost 16 months in, and the lessons I’ve learned! Although, I wonder if it’s more what I already knew but just didn’t know that I knew? Like that I can do lots of things with just one hand while the other hand holds the baby/ stops the baby flinging himself down the stairs/stops him jumping…

Babies are crafty little feckers – much more than we give them credit for. Or at least much more than I gave them credit for! At least mine seems to be plotting and scheming in an effort to have me in a constant state of confusion – one day he likes a certain food but…
Read MoreGeorge the Cake – An Adventure
A few months ago with Rian’s first birthday approaching I decided to start planning a little party for him (ie us!) to celebrate it. Given that he doesn’t even know he has a nose, I couldn’t exactly ask him what sort of theme he might like, so off to Pinterest I went to find some…

…but it is. Peaceful. Noise-less. The Pudge is still asleep (touch wood in a frantic fashion) and all I had to do was get up at 7am and sneak like a stealth ninja down the stairs, avoiding the creaky bits of whom I am now very well accustomed. And here we are! Breakfast eaten and…

I know. Yes, I know. I said to myself.. I’ll definitely keep this blog going. And I didn’t. But God loves a trier (tryer? Neither of them look right) so I’ll try again to keep this going! So, recap. It’s 2015 and my last post was over a year ago when we found out that…

They call it the Two Week Wait. It’s a LIE. It’s a Two Month Wait. Or, Two Decade Wait. Or.. well you get the picture. Time slows down, actually slows down. Forget about those days at work where it seems to be 3pm on a Friday for about a year, that’s nothing in comparison. It…
Read MoreThe Two Week Wait
I remember my first venture onto a fertility web forum. This looks nice, I thought, other people in the same boat as us. I started to read the posts and the first thing I noticed were all the various acronyms for fertility world – things like ttc (trying to conceive), tww (two week wait), 5dpo…

Well the time has almost arrived for my first FET (Frozen Embryo Transfer) which is scheduled for tomorrow. I’ll be honest, I can hardly think about much else at the moment but people at work keep giving me work to do so that’s good. Ish. Stupid work. Since my last post things have been fairly…

Well that plan went well! I’m gonna start a new blog and I’m going to update it every day! Or maybe every week. Defo every month or so. Turns out I meant every year by the looks of things. When I started the blog initially it was going to be all about the IVF because…
Read MoreAnd So We Begin
I’ve been meaning to start a blog for ages, and I finally got round to it. I’m Jen. I’m in my early 30’s, an age area I like. I thought I wouldn’t when I was in my twenties, but I prefer it here. I got married in October 2010 to Gavin and we have two…
