    Officially ours ❤️ Penelope is biologically our child but was carried by her amazing Auntie Jayne as cancer prevented me from doing so. Today, we had our parental order court hearing to finally be recognised as her parents. It was granted & our hearts couldn’t be fuller.❤️

    9 years ago today I thought I wouldn’t be here now: it’s the day I was told I had cancer. This isn’t a sympathy post or a maudlin one, promise. It’s a celebration of life because I’ve had a bloody epic week, busier than ever in my dream job. Cheesy, but never give up hope ❤️

    Penelope Jayne Tessa Ford was born yesterday at 4.25, weighing 7lb 8. She is our heart. Our true miracle. My sister-in-law was incredible and we will never be able to thank her enough for being our surrogate. She’s our hero. Let the most incredible journey begin 💖 #surrogacy

    World Cancer Day: my thoughts are with everyone struggling with this disease. I’m 13 yrs with it. I have my beautiful baby, best family, friends & dream job. Not a day goes by when I don’t think how lucky I am, especially today. I hope this gives anyone going through this hope❤️

    These past days, we’ve had a very poorly Penelope in hospital, struggling to breathe. Seeing her in pain has been heartbreaking. The staff have been incredible and we’re keeping everything crossed she’s turning a corner but what a terrifying time. Life really is so precious ❤️

    Thursday was my 12 yr cancerversary: 12 years of living with leukaemia. I took the day off to celebrate/cry/reflect but Penelope ended up in hospital. She’s fine now, thank goodness, but in a way it made me realise just how much she needs me & how I must keep going ❤️

    Had cancer hospital today. I normally take my mum but just now that’s not allowed. I get it but I missed the support. More than that, I felt sorry for elderly & frail patients I saw attending on their own. Imagine getting bad news with no one to hold ur hand? Heartbreaking 💔

    As someone who thought she’d never get the chance to be mummy; walking my little flower girl down the aisle yesterday at my cousin’s beautiful wedding was another pinch me moment. What a day ❤️

    It’s my birthday today. I don’t think of it as another year older now with cancer. It’s another year of being alive and being able to watch my greatest gift grow. I’ve spent it working but when you’re chatting to @BillBailey it’s rather lovely work! Watch tonight on @STVNews

    Late news just in: after nine months, we’re finally getting our court hearing on Monday to make Penelope officially ours! It’s the final part of the surrogacy process & will be a special day for us all ❤️

    It’s World Blood Cancer Day. There are people with far more interesting & worthy stories than mine but I just wanted to say; here I am tonight, 13 years living with leukaemia & still going strong. For anyone newly diagnosed, I hope this gives you hope ❤️🙏🏼 #WorldBloodCancerDay

    Erm, I’ve just won Scottish Influencer of the Year @SCOTINFLUENCER ❤️😭 Beyond overwhelmed and thrilled. I would never consider myself an influencer but if my story of cancer or surrogacy influences or helps anyone, then it’s all worthwhile. ❤️ pic 📸@jenniferreoch ❤️
