The Start of 2025. We went to the doctors to see if my body was ready to have you.
We got told everything looked good and was ready.
So we tried for a few months. Then for some reason we ended up back at Doctors and he told us that I would have to go to see a fertility doctor. So we got the referral and waited. They eventually called back and said we cannot see you, you will have to go to someone else, someone more high up. So we decided to give up on that. And just see what happens naturally as we had only been trying naturally for a few months.
Late June. I had a feeling I was pregnant. Had symptoms etc. So I took a test we came up positive (faint as) took one the next day the same and the next day.
So we went to the doctors to get a blood test. It came back negative. We were sad and shocked. 1 week later my doctor called and said I dont want to get your hopes up, but we think we should do another test. You cant have a false positive on home test but bloods could be as it might be too early.
So I went back did tests 3 days later he rang and it was negative again. Being told it was negative again and again. I was broken. Didn’t want to do it any are. So, I gave it to God and said I can’t do this any more. I’m done. It is too hard.
Then from early July to August I kept going to doctor once a week asking for tests as I was so sick. And had no idea why. Couldn’t drink water. I vomited after most things I ate. I was so sick. I got told I had gastritis. And we will have to do more tests. So I kept going back. Every test that came back said I was super healthy and there’s nothing wrong with you. I didn’t believe it. I tried taking antibiotics and nausea medication nothing was working. No one else could figure out what was wrong. It amazed everyone to why I was so sick but yet so healthy. So after 7 weeks of seeing the doctor and nothing was working; I went to the chemist and spoke to Bec who worked there. I told her everything and nothing is working and I need help. The first thing she says is I think you should take a pregnancy test. I said no, I can’t be pregnant. She said no I think you should. She also said I am not giving you anything, cause I think you are pregnant.
I thanked her and said I’ll see. So 2 days later Thursday morning at 4am. I took a test. Within 30 seconds it came back positive. The 2 clearest bluest lines I had ever seen. I screamed. Yells at James. Rang Mum. So Thursday i went in town early and to see my Parents. We talked about the pregnancy. Went to work. Couldn’t believe it. I told Drew and Suga. Then Thursday night at 1am. I took another test. Again Pregnant 3+
I couldn’t believe it. So I rang doctors the Friday and got into see him straight away. And I walked in and had the test in my wallet. He said how can I help you today Emily. I said I think I know why I have been so sick. He said oh yes whys that. So I pulled the test out and gave it to him. He got me to do bloods to confirm. All came back on Monday and yes I was. So we booked an ultrasound and that Friday I got in. And we saw you for the first time. 8.5 weeks old. We your parents were so surprised, happy, overwhelmed, and just amazed.
Every blood test and ultrasound I have had, you my son have been perfectly healthy. Couldn’t ask for better. You are growing well. You are healthy. You are a miracle and such a blessing. After everything I have been through for the last 12 years. I am so surprised everything is perfect. Its so Surreal. And everyone keeps saying how good I look. Glowing. Pregnancy suits you. Even along our journey I am still in awe. Still cant believe you are there. That you exist in me.

I love you so much. And I can’t wait to meet you. And I look forward to seeing you in every ultrasound and hearing your heart beat. Mum is proud of you My Boy.
