Steady As We Go | In Pursuit of a Family
https://inpursuitofafamily.wordpress.com/2015/07/07/steady-as-we-go
In Pursuit of a Family. Our Story of Infertility and Surrogacy. Q and A’s. Steady As We Go. July 7, 2015. July 7, 2015. It feels a lot like this. Needless to say, I was anxious to get to the ultrasound, and while the minutes counted down ahead of our appointment, my heart pounded in my chest. And then the image of Sweet Pea popped up on the screen. In fact, I’d prefer weekly ultrasounds for my own sanity, please. And yet, the fear is never really gone. Every week I think:. A Leap of Faith. Let me tell yo...

The big W | Getting To Grips
https://gettingtogripsblog.wordpress.com/2016/03/27/the-big-w
A beginners insight into mummyhood. March 27, 2016. In the group of mummies I socialise/regain sanity with, some have already had to go back to w$! Their partner has to work overtime to make sure the bills are paid – but they get to spend that extra time with their little ones watching them grow. Most of them do some sort of work from home to bring in extra income – I don’t know how they find the time when negotiating two little rascals at a time! When nothing else works.

A beginners insight into mummyhood. January 12, 2016. After surviving the first 3 days, my son was given the all clear and so we were both discharged from the hospital and free to go home. Our son welcomed the decision to let us loose with a 3 day old baby by screaming the entire way home whilst my husband and I both attempted to discuss what could be causing our baby’s distress – was he hungry? Did he want a cuddle? Did he not like the car seat? Was it the car? In those lonely hours I reconnected with a...

https://gettingtogripsblog.wordpress.com/2016/01/11/the-first-night
A beginners insight into mummyhood. January 11, 2016. January 11, 2016. So 12 hours after having the pesary put in to kick start my labour, my little man was born by emergency c-section. Coming round from the surgery I was overwhelmed with emotions – flooded with love for this tiny creature snuggled in his daddy’s arms, relieved to be alive, confused as to where I was and how much time had passed (less than an hour I think) and so unbelievably tired. Why wasn’t he there immediately to take over? Nothing ...

A beginners insight into mummyhood. Author: Getting to grips. December 9, 2016. Some of the other parents encouraged me to join the group, to have some food, made some space for us at the table and I felt guilty for having not brought anything for the party, but relieved that we were being accepted into the group. It turned out that the dance part of the session had been done earlier so that everyone could enjoy the food. For the first time I had been made to feel like a complete parenting failure becaus...

Labour | Getting To Grips

A beginners insight into mummyhood. January 11, 2016. January 11, 2016. After watching the episode of coronation street I had missed the night before and munching on some strawberries (the only craving I had in my entire pregnancy! The surprising thing about being in labour was how much the pain takes over and how you will do anything to cope with it. Whilst my husband valiantly held my hand and sat through my moaning (he too thought it would be days before anything came of the induction), I spent ho...

A beginners insight into mummyhood. The build up to the big day. January 11, 2016. 2014 started with wedding dress shopping and ended with the wonderful news that my husband and I were expecting our own little tornado of joy. We had several scares during the pregnancy, and I felt it was impossible to relax and enjoy it because I was so scared that if I started to enjoy it something terrible would happen.

When nothing else works | Getting To Grips
https://gettingtogripsblog.wordpress.com/2016/01/12/when-nothing-else-works
A beginners insight into mummyhood. When nothing else works. January 12, 2016. I spent a fair bit of time before getting pregnant, and during my pregnancy discussing with my husband what/how we intend to parent our children. It’s quite easy to speculate as to which things you will and will not do, so I thought I would put a list together – this is just a sample of the things we said we wouldn’t do. Baby will be in bed by 7 and we will have our evening free to relax and spend time together. Reality. The m...
