Thought I would start a blog as I can never be bothered to get a pen out and write a diray but seem to always have time to go on the internet!
What a year!
In January last year I moved into a rented apartment with my girlfriend, proposed to her in September(she accepted), bought our first house together in January this year, we are planning on getting married in July this year and we now have a baby on the way; due in early January. We had the 12 week scan last week and everything is perfect with no worries at all!
Sadly, my finacee lost her mum to cancer in November last year, so whilst all of these things should fill us with absolute joy and happiness, there is still a feeling of sadness and of course loss hanging over us. I and my partner believe that her Mum is looking down on us and that it is a miracle that we managed to conceive at such a time. (As did my brother-in-law to be and his wife. The due dates of our babies are only 2 days apart).
It is my Mums 50th birthday this week and we have arranged a suprise party for her. I am looking forward to it but always feel for my fiancee as I'm sure that these events only act as reminders of her loss. She is not bitter but as the vicar explained yesterday when he came to talk to us about getting married, she has "had a pasting!" She is the most beautiful, strongest, caring person I have ever met and I know she will be a great mum and she desreves all the hapinesss in the world.
I will be keeping an online diary of everything from our wedding planning, our wedding day, future baby scans, the birth of our baby, our babies progress, my views on current topics and anything else that comes to mind. I look forward to hearing what you have to say too. Thanks.
