The Proposal

Every time I think about my engagement, I get so excited!

 Let's set the scene.

 Me, OJ, my parents and sister had taken a holiday to Benidorm for the Christmas and New Year period. I was 7 months pregnant and we thought we would take one last holiday before May-May made an appearance.

 On our second day there we took a walk to the beach front and sat down. We chilled on the beach, everyone with beers, me with orange juice (how fun) and had a laugh. This was OJ's first time abroad so we were in a very excitable mood. But that day he seemed a bit anxious, however I didn't take much notice. He had been doing some research and he wanted to go to the lovely courtyard that looked over the sea and was very eager to go there. Hmmm!

The view from the courtyard 😍


 After 2 hours at the beach, we walked along the beach front, taking in the sights and atmosphere. We made our way up the courtyard and my dad started to tell OJ about our previous holidays. I took a few pictures and then sat down. Pregnancy and all that walking had tired me out! All the others had gone down a few stairs to look further over the cliff whilst I stayed at the top.

 Little did I know they were planning how OJ was going to propose! 

 They all came back up and my dad, mum and sister said they were going to the bathroom as OJ wanted to talk to me. This seemed serious. They all left and OJ started say how much he loved me and how happy he was we were on holiday. I didn't think anything of it, just thought he was having a romantic moment. 

 Next thing I knew, he was down on one knee, with the ring box open and a beautiful ring shining at me. And he'd asked me to marry him! Well naturally I cried! And I was asking if he was being serious. I was admiring the ring so much I forgot to say yes 😂 Poor OJ was so nervous, so I put him out of his misery and the few people watching congratulated us. 
The beautiful ring. He has good taste! 😍
Where the proposal happened ❤️






We started to walk back to the beach front and my mum, dad and sister were stood there smiling and trying to act like they didn't know anything (I later found out they all knew since November!). I cried tears of joy again before heading to a local bar for non alcoholic cocktails. 

Throughout the rest of the holiday, I  was on cloud 9. One of the local acts out there found out we had got engaged and whenever we saw him perform, he would announce it in the venue he was performing in. We were like mini celebs! (ha I can dream)

That was 7 months ago and I wish I could experience that day again. It was a real surprise and such a wonderful moment. Now we have the fun - and stressful - task of planning our wedding.

I can't wait to become Mrs S!

Almost A Year In

I havent blogged for a while as it has been such a busy few months. In that time I have seen May-May grow into such a cute and cheeky child with such a bubbly personality. She makes the best effort to try and stand and every chance she gets she is trying to balance herself to stand up straight. She laughs each time she falls and has learnt to stand up leaning against the sofa and is already make sounds as if she is speaking. May-May has also been trying to teach herself to walk and she has picked up walking with support quite rapidly. I'm amazed how dedicated she is to teach herself these skills. We bought her a jumperoo for xmas and she absolutely loves using it as it is helping to support her posture. I feel she will be walking without support very soon and I am so proud of her. After months of sleepless nights and commitment to giving her the best possible start in life, its moments like this that totally make parenting worth it. Next weekend May-May is going to be 1....

Guest Post: Pregnancy Journey by Life Coach Sam

This weeks pregnancy journey is by Samantha Abraham . Her journey had me laughing and i'm sure you will do the same! I gave birth to my beautiful baby number 5 at the beginning of January this year. I have 2 boys aged 21 and 8 years as well as 2 girls aged 7&5. Baby No.5 came as a huge but pleasant surprise after having decided not to have any more and quitting my job to create a start-up. Having passed the stages of denial I finally take a pregnancy test... Reality sets in and my husband and I are now passed staring at each other in silence which goes on to last a couple of months.   This eventually moves into us having conversations about our worries and what we need to do to plan for this.... unplanned, untimely pleasant little gift with the power of scaring us half to death!!! ... At some point among the madness, we do the maths and work out as tradition would have it....our little gift really was a gift!!!...as in that we worked out th...

Getting Used To My 1 Year Olds Changes

Since my daughter has turned one it has been a task adapting to the changes in her body as she is experiencing teething for her back teeth. Night times have been hard as May-May struggles to settle at night and is so used to night breast feeds. This is the time i find it difficult as May-May just wants to be on mum most of the time when she is going through the pain. May-May generally is really bubbly and is interested in anything she gets her hands on. We have fun with her facial expressions and when tries to talk its so adorable. I feel a bit helpless as when i try to calm her down May-May d oesn't seem to want to respond and I would then have to give her back to her mum. My partner is so good with May-May and I can see there are times when she needs a break but never really gets the chance due to May-Mays clinginess. When i come home from work I try to help as much as I can by doing housework and cooking and cleaning but i still feel like I can't help as muc...
