5 cycles of IVF / ICSI
Born at 27 weeks and 3 days
59 days in NICU and SCBU
Not the start to motherhood I had dreamed of
Tiny fragile delicate babies
Bereaved siblings
Losing your baby sister before you turned 3
ASD, ADD, Dyslexia
You two have no idea how incredibly brave you are
How much you raise me up
How many times you have saved my life
How you make the world a brighter place just by being in it
You have no idea how your smiles brighten a room
How your quirky personalities lighten our days
I am so proud of you both
You constantly amaze me with your intelligence, empathy, compassion and creativity
You are strong and resilient
You have a hunger for knowledge and love to learn
You are curious and you love adventure
You are kind and caring, patient and generous
You are so good with your younger siblings
You always help around the house without question
You ask ALL the questions about the world
You are always making, creating, adapting and changing
You are problem solvers
You are a team
You are blessed to have one another
The very best of friends
We are incredibly blessed to have you
I can’t quite believe we made you
You are better people than I have ever been or could ever hope to be
Wise beyond your years
Considered yet impulsive
Full of love and joy
You are magnificent and I am so incredibly proud and honoured to be your mummy
On your birthday and all days I love you with every part of me
I will always be here for you no matter what
I will always be in your corner and on your side
I will protect you with all I am
You are my miracle babies and I cannot believe that you are turning 11 today.
I am so sorry Esther that there was no letter from Hogwarts
But we are all so very glad that you will be staying with us
You are our magic spark, you and William
You are our awe and wonder
Happiest of birthdays you gorgeous two
I adore you x
