Hey guys! Long-time no blog
I’ve been dealing with some personal exciting issues that I
can now share!
I’m ENGAGED AND PREGNANT!!
It all happened so fast, but I wouldn’t change any of it. Having time to think
and reflect I can honestly say I would only change the timing to have been able
to go on holiday as a couple before our lives changed forever! We chose a place
but never booked it! Gutted! But we’re hoping to take a weekend vacation to
Ireland & also travel to Paris for a week and stroll over to Italy if we
can! We really wanted to go to St Lucia, It looked so pretty and full of
beaches and culture! I’m not the type to sit on a beach and lay under the sun,
I like to explore and walk about!
Where did you guys go or have been on holiday?
Now, back to my story, ah yes, I got engaged! Very casually –
just how I like it! We were at home, and we talked about it around Xmas time
& I decided that I wouldn’t like all the attention, but Kurt suggested that
if I got my ring size, a proposal would come soon after! He never thought I
would actually do it, so end of February I went into the shop and got measured,
first thing he said was “oh crap I actually have to get you a ring now!” and
with that I promptly told him I saw 2 rings I liked and decided I only really
liked 1 of them, so he bought it for me, but decided to tell me he had, but the
surprise would be WHEN he’d ask me! A week later, I got home from work and he
followed me into our bathroom, needless to say he asked me then and there, he
was so shy! I had to finish washing my hands and as I dried my hands I noticed
he didn’t have the ring, he only had the box cover!! He asked me to follow him
into the hallway where he was down on one knee and he asked me so nicely to
marry him! Of course I said yes! We got engaged on the 9/3/15!! It was
everything I wanted, nothing too fancy or in public or even in front of family,
I get so shy and emotional and I didn’t want any of that to hinder my real
reaction! I know that doesn’t sound too romantic, but hey not everyone is the
same! We immediately talked about how, when and where! Still to be decided but
its good to throw some ideas around! All I know is that I want it to be a
celebration of everyone we love, not just ourselves and for there to be an open
bar!!
As for the pregnancy bit, you did NOT read that wrong! I’m currently in my 1st trimester and loving life so far! So many things are happening and so much to read on and learn! I first experienced so changes with my mood and Kurt did too, I got so upset about ‘everything’ and completely broke down crying!! Not like me really!
I had excess gas & a heighten sense of smell, that and I hadn’t gone on my Period for March yet so I took a test 4 days before I was meant to be on, nervously waited and it said it was positive, after that I told Kurt over the phone as he was out & I went to work after finding out, it was surreal and I got scared, but having thought about it long and hard, I would not regret that at all.
I wasn’t 100% sure about the results, so I waited another 4 days and my period still didn’t come, so we bought a test that tells you how many weeks. And as plain as day it said pregnant 2-3 weeks. How crazy was that?!
I'm loving everything so far, most symptoms have gone, boobs are a little sore and definitely growing and my sense of taste and smell has almost gone back to normal, no huge amounts of morning sickness but a few moments in bed where I didn’t feel well, but it subsided and I was able to drift off to sleep.
We’ve chosen plenty of names and we won’t be revealing them any time soon, we wanted names no-one else had, but weren’t too weird! It’s definitely hard to choose a name because you know someone with a particular name and it wouldn’t be comfortable for us to name our child after someone we know.
We’re currently choosing baby stuff or at least making a list of necessities. I’ve been eying up some very nice maternity clothing, but mostly I would like to be able to buy normal clothes but in 2 sizes bigger to accommodate comfort and room to grow.

Any suggestions on websites or particular brands you trust – Let me know.
Overall I am so happy and excited and my mum is very supportive which I am so blessed and thankful for. She said as long as I am happy then she is happy and will help me through it all. Our friends are so happy for us too, but some people/friends or family will have differing opinions and not everyone matters with a decision that should only be between me and Kurt.
My mum is very wise, I value her opinion and ways of thinking more than anyone else's and she continues to be my biggest cheerleader and my role model. After my Dad leaving us she provided and cared and became everything and more for us, she was both parents! Kudos mum, I love you so much more than I could ever say!
