Just one short year ago I was blessed with my first baby. After over two years of trying before finding out I was fighting against PCOS, and then going through a specialist and fertility clinic, that phone call with the news that my blood results had come back positive and we were pregnant was the happiest day!
I cried in the car with my Grandma who happened to be with me when the call came.
Nothing can prepare you for the happiness and the self doubt that comes with a baby.
My darling girl was only 4 months old when, after taking a test on a whim of ‘I’ve felt like this before’, we were thrilled to find out we were expecting again.
Coming from a place where I was told I would never conceive a baby naturally, to being pregnant while still having a newborn, I honestly felt like my life dream was coming true in abundance. God had an even greater plan for me than my most heartfelt desire.

Born one year and two weeks apart, they will always be my Irish Twins.
My great grandmother also had irish twins: one pair of her 8 children. Her youngest two daughters were born 1 year and two weeks apart on the exact dates as my two darlings. Can you believe it? I know there is a saying of ‘history repeating’, and somehow this has made me feel closer to a woman I did not know. I wonder if she felt the same way I have felt, or went through similar struggles?
I like to believe that somehow this connects me to these true women of substance from my family tree, and maybe I can find my way through this adventurous journey of Motherhood.
