A Week and a Half Before Our Due Date Our First Child Arrives

Our first child was born one a half weeks before our due date. Our child was healthy other than elevated bilirubin which is common in early babies and light therapy quickly resolved this issue.

We would like to thank Dr. Hudson, Dr. Graham, Dr. Brody, Leigh, and all of the staff at the Victoria Fertility Centre where we underwent in vitro fertilisation to conceive our child.

From a beautiful blastocyst that was implanted into me . . .

To our first ultrasound at the Victoria Fertility Centre to a baby in our arms, the experience has been incredible.

We would also like to thank all of my specialists, other health practitioners, our family doctor, my maternity doctor, Dr. Hugh Down, and Dr. Cooper, the obstetrician, who delivered our child with Dr. Down, and all of the wonderful nurses and staff at the Victoria General Hospital.

Thank you to our families and friends for their support through this very difficult journey to have our first child.

Last but not least, thank you to all of the readers of my blog. Your comments on the blog and through social media have been a source of comfort and support for me through some of the very dark times I have had through this journey.

We want to have a second child, so I may return to this blog in the future to write about our journey to conceive a second child. If so, I will be posting the blog links to social media again.
