Tomorrow, it will have been a year since we found out we were expecting. As I've said before, this day was just less than two months after our wedding, and two days before my 30th birthday.
It's strange to think this time last year I was two weeks pregnant (four weeks if you count it the medical way) and the excitement and nervousness surrounding the two positive tests. I felt so happy and a little scared...
Now I have a three-month-old daughter, thankfully healthy and hopefully happy. I am learning so much and already can see that the time is going flying past us so fast. Isobel seems like a little lady already. I am enjoying every moment, trying not get too stressed and we are letting Isobel lead our way.
This year I think my birthday will feel extra special. You see, in my mind, I had it all planned that everything would happen for me in the year I turned 30 and I am very lucky to have had it go my way so far.
So this year on my 31st birthday I am not going to be greedy and ask for so much to happen to me. I am thankful for all I have and all I have been given.
Maybe I'll celebrate with a glass of wine this time though!
