Against all odds
My sense of smell was heightened. I was retching at the dog poo bin. My appetite was decreased but when I was hungry I felt sick. All the signs of my previous pregnancies! My menstrual cycle wasn’t due for another 2 days but I went to the toilet that evening as I had enough ofContinue reading “Against all odds”
Disappearing hope!
How often are you looking at the time? It’s strange that we have been forced into a situation where we stay in and often have little to do or struggle to get through the demands of the day.

Mother’s Day
Mother’s day is coming and I know I won’t be the only person struggling on what is a seemingly happy occasion for most.

I struggled because it is also very close to my birthday another difficult time ofContinue reading “Mother’s Day”
