My baby Leo turns 10 today…. a decade 😍🥰
To anyone struggling to become a mum right now — My heart is with you.
I know how heavy this journey can feel. The appointments, the waiting, the disappointment, the trying to stay hopeful while protecting your heart at the same time. I remember wondering if our day would ever come.
But after many attempts, I finally had my little baby boy.
Today, Leo is 10 years old.
Sometimes I look at him and still can’t quite believe that after everything… all the hoping, all the tears, all the times I thought maybe it just wasn’t meant to be, here he is, growing up far too quickly.
If I could sit beside the version of me who was going through IVF, I wouldn’t tell her to “just stay positive.” I’d tell her that it’s okay to feel tired. It’s okay to feel heartbroken. But you have to try and
still hold onto hope.
I wanted to share my story again because when I was in that place, hearing from someone who had come through the other side meant everything.
So if today feels hard, please know there is someone out there that understands more than you know.
Ten years ago, I was still hoping for my little boy.
Today, I’m calling him in for dinner.
Sending love and hope to anyone still waiting for their moment. ❤️🫶
