It's All About Her

Hello and welcome back to another installment of #Blogtober17, I really hope that you enjoyed reading all about me yesterday? I am glad that I decided to get involved with this challenge thanks to Hexmum, as I am suddenly feeling very inspired and my head is just full of other ideas, aside from #Blogtober17! But more on that later, today's challenge is all about her, my beautiful baby girl Amelia-Rose! If you caught up with my post from yesterday you will know that becoming a mother to my beautiful girl has been one of the biggest accomplishments that I have ever and probably will ever make in my life. I am more than sure that many of you reading this, mothers or fathers will understand exactly what I mean. Our journey into parenthood has been by far one of the hardest things that we have ever had to go through, it's been an emotional roller coaster


From the minute she were born I felt a love like no other, my daughter brought some much joy and love into my heart and I didn't think it possible that my heart could be more full. But, I was wrong and as time passes as I watch her continue to grow, so does my heart. The night she was born, in some ways I feel as if I born, being a mother was something that I was just meant to be. Amelia gives me a meaning to my life. I will always remember our first night together, it was surreal! Finally after all the heartache, she was finally in my arms. It was so overwhelming. I knew that I would try my hardest to be the best mother I could be, but that first night I struggled. I was feeling so scared. But I just stared at you and it was then that I knew that everything was going to be alright, we had each other. I will forever be grateful that we were blessed with such a beautiful baby girl.


The past three years have not been the easiest, it's been a roller coaster. We've had great moments, bad moments and awful moments. There were times where I didn't think I would be able to see a positive light, but you my beautiful girl, would smile and it was that smile that I knew that everything would be alright. As a mother I have learned to survive bad moments because of her, which has actually made me appreciate all those great moments and make them amazing. I never knew how much being a mother would change me. It's pretty amazing how one little person and the love I have for her has brought a new meaning to every moment. What once seems so important, now feels insignificant. It's like I get to see the world for the first time again, but through someone else's eyes. It's a beautiful and an amazing thing to experience. My beautiful little girl has already made me the happiest and most fulfilled mother in the world. 


Many women don't want to talk about their feelings of pain, frustration and shame that comes with infertility. I think throughout society, there is a kind of stigma that to be a real woman you should be fertile and have babies. If anyone needs extra help, we are somehow less perfect or less of a person. But as a woman who has had fertility problems we just cannot beat ourselves up about it. A turning point for me was by trying to conceive a baby naturally began to have an impact on my life and my marriage. It was then we decided to stop trying for a baby and to seek further advice but then some incredible happened. My husband and I were very fortunate and found out that we were expecting a baby. I thought I was unwell, but it turned out to be something that we have been wanting for a long time, unexpectedly too. Our beautiful miracle baby girl, Amelia-Rose. A true blessing and one that I will never ever take for granted. 


My daughter Amelia is a very cheeky three year old who loves nothing more than to get herself into lots of mischief and you'll be sure to remember her if you ever meet her. Amelia loves to go on adventures, exploring new place and loves nothing more than making new 'best friends', she has quite a few. She loves dancing, singing, jumping, baking and anything to do with Rapunzel. Becoming parents to our beautiful miracle baby is something that we never envisioned for our future, however after so much heartache we were finally blessed with our beautiful baby girl and so this whole blog is dedicated to her to document our adventures, making amazing memories together.
