Just to say - which I should've mentioned in my last post.

We chose to have yesterday's blessing on 14th February as it was the anniversary of the day our little boy - and his co-embryo - were transferred into my safe care. It's a day i'll never forget and seemed a good day to celebrate.

Mr G said he spent last Valentine's Day watching a man (fantastic IVF Dr) with his hands up my bits and spent this year's Valentine's watching another male (a v little one) mauling my bo.soms. Maybe next year he (Mr G) will get a look in.

I hope you all had a good Valentine's. It's not a day i'm that fond of. I hated it as a single bird and feel it hugely commercial and a bit pointless now as you should spread the lerrrrve all the time and not just once a year. Now it's become a tiny bit more special in my book. Mr G and I had a lovely dinner out but talked mostly about Barnaby and gushed over a new photo Mr G had taken on his phone. Here's a pic from yesterday

Not great of me but then i'm not who the crowds came to see. Barnaby loves my dress - all that black and white has him mesmerised.

What a lovely way to spend Feb. 14th. Barnaby is adorable and will have all the ladies wrapped around his little finger when he's older - well make that now! Cutie petutie!

Too funny about your last 2 Valentine's days. Good thing you don't much care for it! Barnaby is so sweet! Love his face.

Portia,

Thank you so much for dropping into my blog to share your story. You are absolutely right--- as I am trying to put myself back together after 3 failed IVFs, it is nice to know that others out there have succeeded in similar shoes. I look forward to hearing more about you and your little one.
