Ever typed a postcode into a sat nav and ended up still quite lost- even with annoying robot lady telling you to the contrary and that I have indeed reached my destination. Er no love I haven't- so wind your neck in and reroute or something!
Getting my boys has been a long old journey and on the 26th June 2016 it felt like robot lady was saying to me - you have reached your destination. But once again she was a bloody liar! I'd reached the most fantastic service station and picked up the worlds best twin hitchhikers- but I'd no way arrived at my destination. Being so focussed on getting and staying pregnant- I'd kind of blocked out that at the end of it there would be actual human beings- totally reliant on me and Rob. I can now understand when my boss would say to me in a concerned voice "you do realise you are having actual twins don't you?!" because in hindsight I can now see- no I didn't! Remember Laura who I wrote about who spoke so openly about her IVF journey- well we ended up being pregnant at the same time and due to our similar backgrounds we were able to support one another (OK she supported me and I drained her with constant messages that read - I've just felt this is this normal, can I do this etc etc), She had her baby 2 months before me and I remember seeing her with him for the first time and it was surreal- she was no longer pregnant, she was holding a baby....still it didn't click with me! That would be me. When you want something so badly it becomes the destination- but the truth is - life goes on after that and the journey continues. It's now a new journey and who knows where the next stop will be. I for one can't bloody wait to see- it's already been a crazy 14 weeks! As always I'd love to hear from you -so please do leave a comment! :)

Look at your boys Jen! You're doing an amazing job! I like to think I've been a bit of a passenger on your journey along the way and you've opened up my eyes so much! When you invited me to come and meet your boys for the first time in the hospital, I nearly cried with excitement! But I have to say, that's when it became obvious to me that your journey had only just really begun... 🙈🙈💚💚

I've really enjoyed reading your Blogs Jenny. But I need to warn you that unfortunately your NOT ON that lovely car journey. Your on the fastest Roller Coaster in the world. It's got some mega highs and some really bad lows. Some stomach churning and some exhilarating. BUT it's the best ride of your life play .photograph ,record and play some more. Laugh as much as you dare and don't waste a second of it. Cos I promise you in the blink of an eye there all grown up and independent. Tooth fairies easter bunnies Santa claus and parties are magical .ENJOY them all LIVE LOVE AND BE HAPPY x

You are absolutely spot on. I don't think you dared let yourself think of beyond the destination...I get that! But it became a pit stop to the best thing ever. I still stop and think 'Wow Jen has 2 babies' and I still stop and look at my 2 miracles and think wow...in fact everyday I do! To be able to have been a small part of your journey to this incredible chapter is a blessing! I can't wait to watch your journey continue...and to see those wonderful boys grow and develop under the watchful eye of you and Rob!! 💙💙
