2017.. what a year!
I decided in March last year to take a little blogging break because I had lots going on in my at home family life. My life was completely turned upside down when my grandad was diagnosed with terminal bowel cancer. In April, just 3 weeks after the diagnosis he passed away. I've spoken before on here about what a close family we are and how much my grandparents mean to me and losing my granddad came as a huge blow and something which took me a long time to come to terms with.
In one of the last posts I wrote in Feb last year, I mentioned that Adam and I had put the offer in for our first home. Everything moved really quickly as we weren't in a chain and just 10 weeks after first seeing the house we had the keys! As the house needed a little bit of work doing to it (only cosmetic stuff to begin with - new fitted wardrobes, painting, new carpets etc) and we had to give 4 weeks notice on our rented property, we had a 4 week gap between getting the keys which meant we were able to get everything we wanted done and on 16th May we moved in!
The Summer of 2017 brought hen parties and weddings as both my cousin and one of my oldest friends got married. We had a little jaunt to Cardiff to see the Doctor Who experience before it moved and I completed the pretty muddy.
Quite possibly the most exciting thing to happen in the summer actually happened on the morning of my cousins wedding when after 12 months of trying we finally saw the words PREGNANT on a clear blue test! I can't even tell you our excitement!
The last 6 months have flown by! I'm now 25 weeks pregnant!! It has honestly gone so quickly. I will do a whole separate post on pregnancy so far, its been a journey and I can't wait for the next 3 months until our little bundle arrives!
2018 is going to be a good year. I finally feel ready to get behind the keyboard and find some love for my blog again. Its had a shiny new makeover and I am hoping it can become a place to share thoughts of a first time mummy, somewhere to document as our baby grows and lots of other lifestyle, food and beauty along the way!
