Little miracle is on the way
HAVING your first child can be a daunting and thrilling time, and for Chloe Gillis, it is a long awaited gift.
Baby boy Gillis is due to enter into the world on June 7, and Mrs Gillis said she and her husband Jimmy were bursting to meet him.
However, the journey to having their son was not an easy one, with Mrs Gillis – like so many – struggling to fall pregnant.
“I had been on the pill for quite some time, I just thought it would take longer than normal as my body got used to not taking it,” she said.
“We tried for 18 months or more and had no luck.
“My husband and I then went and saw a fertility specialist and did all the tests under the sun.
“Turns out I had more than enough eggs I just wasn’t releasing them at the correct time. I took one round of medication and was very lucky to fall pregnant with our little boy.
“I am definitely blessed that we got our little miracle.”
While pregnancy can be quite difficult, Mrs Gillis said she had experienced an “excellent” pregnancy thus far, with limited sickness.
“I knew from a young age that I wanted to be a mum, not straight away as I wanted to be married first, but it definitely was something I had my heart set on, being a mum,” she said.
“My biggest goal is to be the best mum I can be and always be there for my kids and love them with all my heart.”
Mrs Gillis said while they awaited their baby’s safe arrival, they would celebrate Mother’s Day with their loved ones.
“I have always loved celebrating Mother’s Day and spoiling the ones we love,” she said. “They would bend over backwards to do anything for their children and family.
“My motherly inspiration is definitely 100 per cent my Mum and Ma.
“They have been my inspiration since I can remember.”
