There’s an app called Timehop that I love. It takes you on a daily trip down memory lane, showing you photos and videos ‘on this day’ style. With the sheer amount of photos and videos on our phones it’s easy for things to get lost in a sea of forgotten moments, so I love this…

“Fuck off with your ‘Relaxed’!” {Also features on The M Word } Recently I wrote a post about Living With Infertility, and I focused on what the direct impact of it was like at the time.

{Also featured on The M Word } Every so often I get asked ‘ So… are you going to try again for a girl now that you have two boys?’ What an odd question. Or am I the odd one? Why would people assume I have a need to have a daughter over another son?…

Read MoreI 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…
Read MoreThey 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 MoreI remember my first venture onto a fertility web forum. This looks nice, I thought, other people in the same boat as us.
