Carly & Lennon 〰️ IVF Solo Mum by Choice ♡

Still in denial I’ll have a big preppie next year 😭 So proud of this kid, on the way home from kindy pick up last week with his little girlfriend in the car, she asked me why Lennon didn’t have a dad. I hesitated for a second then asked Lennon if he’d like to answer the question & he promptly & confidently replied ‘because all families are different, some have 2 mummy’s, some live with their nanny & pappa, some don’t have a a daddy just like me 🥹 Fought back tears the rest of the way home ~ totally proud mumma moment 🫶🏼 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . , . . . . . . . #ivfsmbc #ivf #smbc #singlemum #solomum #ivfsuccess #monashivf #ivfsupportgroup #solomotherhood #solomother #ivfbaby #mumsofinstagram #ivfcommunity #singlemother #donorconceived #ivfpregnancy #ivfmelbourne #icsi #aussiemums #melbournemums #aussiesinglemums #solopregnancy #mummycommunity #babymumma #fertilityjourney #fertilitytreatment #ivfsupport

This is Us 👋 It’s been a while since we re-introduced ourselves! We are Carly & Lennon from Sth East Melbourne & are proud as punch to be a SMBC family ✨ After turning 35, I started thinking long and hard about what I wanted with my life. I considered freezing my eggs, but knew deep in my heart it was a Mummy I was longing to be more so then a Wife. So, IVF it was. I was lucky enough to live inner city at the time so @monashivf was my clinic of choice. After 2 years, 6 failed cycles, 2 different donors and a huge amount of heartache & savings, my miracle man came into my life in 2019. If you’re thinking this way of life may be for you, you’ve got doubts, you’ve got questions ~ please, please, please send me a DM cos my inbox is always open! Wherever you are on your journey I’d love to connect with you. I remember following along so many SMBC accounts when I was trying to conceive and found so much strength & learnt so much from following along - please reach out cos we’re an open book & proud as anything of our family makeup xx

Ringing in the New Year with our absolute fav crew at our fav place ~ feeling so lucky to call these gems our fam bam….. Watching Lenny grow up with this bunch is truly the best thing ever 💕✨ Happy 24/25 ~ love Lennon & me 🪩🥂⭐️✌🏼🐚

2024 might be nearly over, but the memories will stay with us forever ✨🫶🏻 This year threw me a few curveballs, but it was still filled with moments I’ll always cherish 💕 Wishing all our friends a magical New Year filled with love, laughter, and happiness 🥳🪩🥂 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . #mummyblogger #truemotherhood #thisismotherhood #rawmotherhood #honestmotherhood #mumofboys #mumboss #mumofone #mumssupportingmums #mothersunite #mumsinbiz #mumswhoblog #bloggermums #aussiefam #aussiemumma #mummysocial #mummasocial #mumsocial #aussiemummy #parentingblog #thisismotherhood #instamum #strongmumma #strongmums #mummy #sweetbabyboy #mummasboy #mummysboy #mybabyboy #melbournemum

In his camping era 🏕️☀️🏄‍♂️🏝️ That golden stretch between Christmas and New Year when time doesn’t exist, every day feels like Saturday, and the biggest decisions are beach, pool, park or ride and what’s for dinner 🤩 So ready for sunny days, family adventures, and making the sweetest holiday memories with my honey boy 🫶🏻

End of an era for my honey boy today, his last ever day at kindy 🥹✨ Cue the tears (mine, not his, of course) 😭💔 He’s grown so much this year—not just with what he’s learnt, but who he’s become as a person💖 He’s made incredible friends, adored his educators, and tackled every day with excitement and enthusiasm (and a sh*tload of sand in his shoes 🫠😂). I couldn’t be prouder of everything he’s achieved and the amazing little person he’s growing into. 🌟🥰 So here’s to the end of his kindy chapter & the beginning of a whole new era ~ watch out world, he’s coming in hot 🥳
