Ahh the words of children

Teigan (my niece age 10) : Aunty C why don’t you have kids?

Me: I love spending my time with you guys but we maybe will one day.

Teigan: well, If you want to have kids. You have to do the S E X first.

😂😂😂 man why didn’t we think of that 😂

Where ever you are on your journey. Smile and laugh a little. Know that you are definitely not alone. Everyone of us is fighting a similar but different battle. It’s so hard but we are fighters. This is not something that is going to kill us physically but mentally it is tiring and can very quickly lead to depression, mood swings a general grey cloud hanging over you. Don’t let that cloud win. Open up to people you trust or speak to a councillor. Have a shot of the swing in the park, do what you used to do to make you smile, don’t let infertility suffocate you.

You’ve got this!! 😘😘😘

So good!! 😂 Part of me is dreading the inevitable questions from my friends' kids but this is a great reminder that kids are so innocent and not judgey

Aw 😂 sounds like she’s proud of learning (one of many ways) where babies come from 🥰 My niece once asked me ‘who’s mammy are you?’ I replied with a very wobbly chin and shaky words ‘I’m no-one’s mammy’

I’m so glad no-one else was around when she asked me 😂 bless her heart such an innocent question but it broke my heart. Hopefully one day soon we’ll be someone’s mammy 💛 xx
