The perfect Saturday night..... in bed with juice, watching rubbish tv with our boy tucked up with us under the covers.
He does sleep in his own bed I promise 😂
This is everything. 💙

8 weeks old today 💙

This wee guy is changing every day.
He is starting to become a little character with his own personality.

Seems like a lifetime ago he was a tiny, fragile newborn covered in wires and tubes in an incubator.

Video over the weekend 🥰

I know people warned us of the sleep change but its quite dramatic (especially in our 40’s).

This is my sleep tracker from my watch over the last 6 months. You can pinpoint EXACTLY when Jacob was born 😴😴😴😴

Wouldn’t change a thing ❤️❤️❤️

RAWR!!! 😂

7 whole weeks of loving you 💙

This week has been TOUGH.
Our poor boy has been at the Doctors and been given new medication.
He's not himself at all and it's bloody awful.
I've been awake more than I've slept for days now.
Unfortunately the wee guy has been so sore and unsettled so just won't go to sleep as constantly crying out 🥺.. therefore I can't sleep.

I am absolutely exhausted but so is Jacob.
Thankfully we have our 1st wee holiday coming up so we are hoping some fresh air and new scenery will help.

Absolutely bloody hate not being able to help him 🥺

1 year ago, our eggs/sample formed an embryo in Well 9 and so began the #9 nickname.

Mad to think this is Jacob being made.

Our little ducky 🐤
Definitely a picture for when he's old enough to be embarrassed 😂

We PROMISE we will get a video sorted this week.
We have A LOT to talk about!!!
What i will say now though is that we will be talking a lot about the people who delt with us in Wishaw. Literally from the minute I was admitted until the second we left we were blown away by how unbelievably caring, kind and genuinely amazing the nurses and doctors are. From the ward I was originally on, theatre, recovery, Wishaw Neonatal, SCBU, reception staff, you name it... these people will hold a very special place in our hearts. When we were at our lowest, most vulnerable... they step in and somehow make it all seem better. Hats of to them all because none of them have an easy job yet made us feel seen, heard and supported 👌🏻

More on that during the week for sure. These amazing humans deserve recognition 👏🏻

Our wee peanut 🥰

There’s something so special about photographing the start of a new story 🤍
Message to book a maternity session and capture this chapter.

This boy 🥰
Every day he changes and becomes stronger and more alert.
Some days he looks like Daddy, some days (like today) he looks like Mummy.
He is the perfect blend of us both 🤍

The wee soul has had terrible reflux so the doctor prescribed gaviscon which as the warned, has caused constipation. Its such a wee shame.

If anyone has any advice on reflux and constipation please share your tips for getting rid of them.

Every day we ask how we got so lucky. We genuinely still can't quite believe Jacob is ours. We've never felt a love like this before. Our special boy 💙

6 weeks ago today we met our little miracle for the 1st time.
Our wee Number 9.
The most loved and wanted wee guy ever.

6 whole weeks of our little Jacob 🥰💙
