The whole point of our page is to show absolutely every part of our journey. The good, the bad and the ugly. We wanted to show people exactly what IVF is like. Emotions, physical and mental aspects... all of it!
We are an open book and happy to help anyone who may have questions about it all.

I only have single digit weeks to go now before our wee miracle baby boy is here and my god am i feeling it now 😂.
Peanut has decided to push all to the front and is now sitting lower than before.
David has to pull me off the couch and help me roll out of bed. I genuinely feel like a beached whale. Point is.... i absolutely bloody love being this size. Its something I've dreamed of for so long!
Looking in the mirror used to disgust me, now I look at myself with pride. Pride that my body is growing a human!!! Its grown a whole organ from scratch (placenta) and all my other organs have rearranged in order to make room for the little life thriving inside this huge, healthy bump.

Every pregnancy is different. Every bump is different. Some have tiny bumps, some don't have bumps at all and some are massive like me, but all are equally as amazing and beautiful!
My advice? NEVER comment on someone's size during pregnancy. The "Oh you are tiny where is your bump?" Could destroy a person who wishes she had a bump just like "You're huge, how much bigger will you get?" Could also destroy someone who dislikes their body.
Being pregnant and having a bump has somehow given me so much more confidence In my body which has amazed me to be honest.

Here's to all these amazing woman no matter what size or shape.... we are all bloody beautiful 😍

Massive thank you to Nicola for offering us her caravan for a few days. It's very much appreciated.

I've said it before and i will say it again. We are so so lucky to have so many kind and lovely people in our lives and Peanuts 😊

Now it's time to turn off and relax 🥰

Thank you both for my HUGE bag of quavers and for my bracelet Aleemah made.
Peanut is honestly going to be the luckiest wee soul, he's going to be surrounded by all these amazing people.

What a day... seeing the sun is so lovely. Being heavily pregnant in the heat?..... not so lovely 😂 I have been a walking ball of lava and sweat all day!

However, we did have a lovely day.
We went out to Port Glasgow retail park to meet Davids mum. We got some baby things in next and had a cuppa in M&S before heading to Scotts in Greenock for an amazing lunch. If you've never been, go. The food is amazing!!

Davids mum gave us bags and bags filled with clothes shes been picking up for Peanut so between her and my Dad, the wee guy is now sorted for clothes until hes about 6 😂😂😂😂

We also popped to Silverburn on the way home.
David felt sorry for me waddling around, melting & feeling like a potato so to cheer me up....
Ray Ban Clubmasters are just... *chef kiss* 👌🏻

Ive been out all day and evening and now I'm pooped. Worth it though 😎

Today the nursery furniture was all finished!!!!!
The wardrobe last weekend took way longer to build than expected so the drawers and cot were left for today.
Big thank you to my brother, Stu Roseweir for his building skills!!!
He's coming back over during the week to get the curtain pole that doesn't want to stay up sorted 😂

David built the cot tonight and honestly we didn't have one argument which surprised me a great deal.

I put all bubs wee clothes away in the drawers and wardrobe earlier and I was in tears, thinking our baby will be wearing these clothes soon. Crazy!!!

All thats left to do now in Peanuts room is get some things we have up on the walls, and its done!

After last night being at Wishaw for a few hours. The heat and building... we are pooped!
All is fine... just had very noticeable reduced movement yesterday/last night.
Turns out, baby was just having lazy day but one again, the midwives at Wishaw were amazing!!!!
I said I feel like such an overreactor to which I was told to stop being silly!
I was hooked up to the machine for a while and was reassured by hearing a nice strong heartbeat.
Wee monkey likes keeping me on my toes!

All is good now 💙

Yep... current situation!
The bruising is rough and I've got at least another 15 weeks of injections to go... thats another 105 jabs and I've only done 14 so far. I can't lie, it's pretty tender. Needs must though 😖

The stretch marks are something I thought I'd be so embarrassed of but honestly? I bloody love them!!!! They will be a constant reminder of what my body has done. It growing a human!!!

As someone who suffers body dysmorphia, never in my life did i think i would ever be able to post something like this, but pregnancy has given me the courage to show how unbelievably amazing my body is. Flaws, bruising and all!!!!!

Last night we were talking eye colours.
David has true blue eyes and I have green/grey (at times) with a central heterochromia which is pretty rare. As rare as that is, my Mum had the EXACT same.
They say green eyes are the rarest yet myself, my Mum AND my Dad - All green eyes. My brother however has very blue eyes which obviously come from one of Grandparents.

Davids blue eyes come from his Dad and Davids sister Karen has Brown/Hazel eyes like her Mum.
Karen's kids have brown and green.
My brothers have green and blue.

It will be so interesting to see what eye colour our wee dude will have. Will he be green like me or blue like his Daddy or brown like none of us?

💙👀💚

Appointment this morning at Wishaw..

All looking well with baby. He is growing perfectly and the fluid surrounding him is normal which was excellent news!!!!
He is 50th percentile which is absolutely bang on where he should be.
Thigh bone, stomach, head measurements all perfect 💙

Me however.... I may have to go on insulin after all. My 2 hour after breakfast levels are still too high, the rest are in target. I have a few dietary changes to make for 1 week at breakfast to see how it goes.
I am back in 1 week to see what's what.
If diet can't change the levels then its more injections for me.
My poor stomach is COVERED in bruising and so so tender. It genuinely looks awful, but needs must.
I will need to inject after or before every meal 😳.
All in all the baby is doing great which is all that matters. He was not behaving at the scan so no decent pics of his face 😂😂 he did however wave 😁.

We were amazed at the different parts of us that are clearly noticeable on Peanut. For instance he has my nose, lips and chin shape and Davids toes!!!! 😂😂😂.

We are definitely looking at 38/39 weeks for his arrival. They said currently we are aiming for the 39 week mark. At present there is no reason why I should or would go earlier than that but obviously a close eye will be kept on how he is doing in there.

Look at that wee hand 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
