I hinted at the begining of the year that there was something exciting happening this year and at last I can tell you that I am a Nanna again, grandchild number five is here!
If you are a regular visitor to my blog you will remeber that my youngest daughter, Stevie has been through IVF twice before, the one in 2025 ended in a bad experience for her.
She decided to give it one more go at a different clinic and is now a very proud momma.
They have called him Freddie with Mark as his middle name, as well as Mark being hubby's name it was also Darren's dads name.
He was born on Friday 24th and weighed 8lb 12oz, so a chunky monkey, lol
Her labour was quite a journey. They don't usually let IVF go full term and the fact that Stevie has Antiphospholipid Syndrome, (this was discovered through tests done before she started this round of IVF), meant that she was to be induced, but after two days she hadn't progressed and she ended up with a caesarean. But he is here safe and sound and that's what matters.
Stevie is doing ok, obviously sore and it was a long few days with no sleep so she is very tired but Is back home now. Darren has four weeks off work and I am on hand to help when they need it.
I'm so proud of her, she has been amazing, eight years of trying and three rounds of IVF and she is now the Momma she always dreamt of being. 💖
