Sharing my new normal type of motherhood
Being a Rock in a Hard Place Grief is hard! Really. Bloody. Hard. The sad reality is that everybody is grieving for something, whether it is the loss of a loved one, the loss of a relationship, perhaps the last season of Game of Thrones didn’t turn out the way they had hoped. Regardless, grief [...]
"when you're a mum you'll understand".. a knife right in the gut when this was said to me whilst I was pregnant with Leo. A flippant comment made with the best intentions and it still affects me when I think about it 6 months later. In that moment I wish I had screamed that I [...]
All I’ve ever wanted in life was to be a Mum. Having experienced infertility, miscarriage and stillbirth, maybe I should have been more specific in asking the universe to allow me to be a mother to a baby that is alive. I am a Mum, just not in the way I had ever imagined. Imagine [...]
The struggles of becoming a mother Becoming a mother was all I had ever hoped for. I came off contraception in summer 2014 when on a party holiday to Magaluf (with the husband - can you believe! ‘Couples that rave together, stay together’ after all 😉) Id tried so many different contraception’s and they were [...]
I cannot tell you how excited I am to be able to come on here with the news that I am able to launch my brand new Guest Blogger Series which will be going live Sunday 2nd June. As you will read in my last blog Newcastle with Nuby I recently got to spend the [...]
I'm so pleased to be able to write such a exciting blog this week after we jetted off to sunny Newcastle to join Nuby to be filmed(EEK!) for some really exciting upcoming campaigns. They are working in collaboration with @Thismumis and Bauer Media Productions to bring forward to new generation of real talking mums and dads [...]
These last 4 months since Leo was born has flew by...actually the last year since Francesca died then was born has. What has actually happened to this massive portion of my life. 2018/19 has disappeared in a haze of grief and happiness all at once. I think i've been living in some crazy twilight zone where time [...]
I'm a little late with this update since the epic Glasgow Kiltwalk was last week but currently my sleep deprived body is running on fumes with considerably high stress levels added into the mix so my concentration span is "oot the windae" as they say ! Apart from all of that I am very very [...]
Looking back through Leo's pictures since his arrival in January makes me smile so much. I don't think i'll ever get bored of taking 150 pictures of him a day. One of my favourite things to while he "micro" naps is looking through all the pics of his little outfits he's worn, most of which we've been lucky [...]
As I sit here writing this I still cant believe my baby boy is here! I had 9 months of my brain telling me over and over again that I shouldn't have any faith as something will go wrong and we will need to relive losing another child, that we WILL go home empty handed from [...]
FOR FRANCESCA
