“I tried to temper my desire to be the mother of another child, to find peace in my natural infertility and yet it felt so unnatural all at the same time.
“I spent the last 9 months hiding my pregnancy, traveling the country with my theater show, filming my YouTube crime content and working on as many projects as possible to distract myself from the growing hope and possibility that this time you might just become a reality , and that this time it will end in the sweetness of joy, instead of the agony of loss.’
Emma said she is “grieving” the years she and Etta-Blue didn’t have together as she struggled to conceive.
She wrote, “For the past 38 weeks you have been growing quietly, allowing me a symptom free and easy pregnancy, and while your arrival was by far the most dramatic, I feel a blinding giddy joy knowing that you have finally decided to make your presence felt. announce. a way none of us could ignore.
“Your beauty is breathtaking, your companionship perfect, your presence utterly profound, and though I grieve for the years I wish we could have had together, I know you’re meant to be mine now, and not for a minute earlier.
“Etta-Blue, you healed more than you’ll ever know, and reminded me of the wonder of existence, even in the face of loss and suffering.
Can’t wait to share your adventures. All my love, all my heart, all my hope…..mama xxxx (Etta-Blue born 12.50 pm 30/07/2023)’.
Emma also shared an adorable photo of Etta-Blue on her Twitter, writing, “Indescribable joy washes over me as I look at you in amazement…..how grateful I am that you chose me. Etta-Blue thanks xx’.
