Pursuit of Felicity

As per usual, I am a few months behind in sharing the news on this here blog of mine.. but in my defence, buying a house and immediately commencing full blown renovations hasn't exactly left me with plenty of time on my hands. Since buying our new home towards the end of last year, D has been o…

Apologies for the delay in posting little one. I promise it was not out of fear or lack of excitement, but simply due to being overwhelmingly busy with your sister (almost two) and some big life changes. Throughout it all you've been a constant source of happiness and inspiration for me and I a…

To the baby we never got to meet, but who already touched our hearts.
We were so excited (and surprised!) to learn of your existence. You came into our lives so effortlessly, like you were always meant to be, and then just like that.. you were gone.
We couldn't wait for M to become a big sister. She h…

Before I get started, I just have to say, how exciting is it that I'm finally writing M's birth story?! For anyone who knows me personally or who has been following me for a while, you will know that becoming a Mum has been my life's dream for as long as I can remember. The reason I or…

Baby 'M'.
Born Tuesday, February 9th, 2021 at 3:11am. Weighing 2.8kg and measuring 50cm long.
Today marks one month earth side, a total weight gain of 1.6kg, and an infinite expansion of love for her in our hearts.
I look forward to sharing her birth story as soon as I get the chance (which m…

It's been so long since my last blog post, around 25 weeks to be precise. How I ever thought I was going to be able to blog regularly while continuing to work full time, prepare for the arrival of baby, and fit in a social life is a mystery to me. In saying that, here I am with a 38 week pregna…

"I'M GONNA HAVE A BABY!" (imagine shouting this in your best Rachel Green voice over and over). I've basically been saying this phrase on repeat in my head since the moment I found out. The one thing I have been dreaming of my entire life, more than anything else in the world, ha…

I honestly can't believe it's already been a whole year since I walked down the aisle and married my best friend.

It feels like just yesterday that I was waking up on the Gold Coast in the air bnb I rented out for myself and a couple of friends (who doubled as my hair dresser and celebrant…

Wow. I cannot believe it has been over a year since I last updated this blog. I mean, I knew it had been a while, but I had no idea it had been sixteen months! All I can really say on the matter is that I've been super busy, and when I'm not super busy I've been resting.

Fortunately, o…

I'm not going to lie, the only reason it took me this long to write another blog post is because I was waiting for the perfect opportunity to take the photo above. You see, not only did I need to wait for us to move in, or for the dogs to arrive from Brisbane, but I also needed there not to be…
