The Proposal To My Fiancé

It all started from a epiphany I had while coming home from work, i just knew in my mind that I wanted to spend the rest of my life with mics. We had only been together for a year and a half and were expecting a baby as well. I was scared she was going to say no as it might have been too soon.
So when i got back to mics mums house I told her about my plan to propose. I will never forget how her face changed into shock and excitement. She told me about when she was proposed to and it was around the same time as me and mics. That gave me the confidence to go ahead with buying a ring.

When I bought the ring I felt like I wanted to burst with excitement but then I had to think how am I going to ask her. I thought of so many elaborate ways to do it. But I knew we were going on holiday to Benidorm for my first time and it felt right to do it there.

I brought the ring and I showed it to mics parents and told them of how I wanted to propose and they were both really pleased with the idea and the ring.
I struggled to keep it to myself for all that time. The night before her parents flew out I gave the ring to mum to take with her as we were flying out a couple of days after them. By then i knew exactly where I wanted to do it as I remembered seeing a courtyard overlooking the sea in their holiday videos.

The plan was set.

Finally the day came and me, mics and the family decided to go for a walk along the beach front to take in some sights and I told mum to make sure to bring the ring as I felt ready to do this. So as we made our way along the beach front we came to the courtyard that i wanted to propose from.

I was on the lower part of the courtyard when i saw mum on the stairs. She asked do i want to do it now and i said yes as mics was seated on the upper courtyard. I told mum to leave with dad and mics sister and we will catch up after them. I stayed on the stairs to calm my nerves when dad came down and I told him the plan as well. When i came up on the courtyard mics was sitting unaware of what was about to happen next. I sat next to her and my heart rate just accelerated. I said to mics how beautiful the setting was and how much i loved her.
Mics still didnt have any idea where i was going with this and before she could I pulled out the ring and got on one knee and asked her to marry me.

Mics immediately started crying and it took a few seconds for her to accept. There were people nearby who witnessed this and were saying congratulations to us.

I feel so accomplished doing that and when we came down to meet the family they were all standing there awaiting the good news. There were tears and happiness in that moment and if i had the chance to do it again I would do without question.

Roll on our wedding date June 2020

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...

Guest Post: Pregnancy Journey by My Mummy is a Bookworm

The next few blog posts are going to be based on pregnancy and the obstacles we have to face not only during pregnancy, but conceiving and even after giving birth. My guest for this post is Danielle from My Mummy is a Bookworm  She has decided to share with me her journey to becoming a mother. "We got married. I came off the pill. I thought it would be that simple. Boy was I deluded. It started with absent periods, months went by and I had nothing, I did pregnancy tests and they always came back negative. I went to see my GP for advice, and they sent me for some blood tests. The result came back and I found out that I had Polycystic Ovary Syndrome and that this may impact on my ability to conceive. I was shattered, the reality of having a baby suddenly felt so far away and I felt that it was completely my fault. I couldn’t give myself or my partner what we so desperately wanted - a family. I was referred to a specialist at St Mary’s Hospital in Manchester ...

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....
