Firstly we were away in Ireland for my cousin's wedding and it was lovely being home with all the family! I always feel a bit homesick when we come back to the UK though. Especially as I have two cousins due the end of this year and it pains me to realise that their babies will not be newborns when I see them!
Then I turned 30... Such a milestone but in truth, I don't feel any older! I aged when I lost my babies and to me it's just another step closer until I see them again. As I think about it now, it is such a landmark as I feel really grown up now. They say your an adult when you turn 21 but I feel more grown up, more socially acceptable as a grown up, now that I am 30!
We had a party to celebrate my 30th and princess's 2nd birthday and it was lovely having all my loved ones with us. It didn't come without all the dramas from thein-laws though. There is always drama where they are concerned! One day I will write it all down... Perhaps in the next bout of insomnia!! Lol!
So princess turned 2 and she really did grow up overnight! She is amazing, and I know every parent says that but she is! However the terrible twos have definitely set in and she is pushing boundaries!
Then to finish the month we had a big family fun day for the charity we set up in the boys' memory! Such an amazing day and even I am in awe of all that we produced!
So July approached and the exhaustion and de-stress happened... Took me a bit longer to get over June than I thought but am hoping I am over it!
June saw me gain 1/2 stone and lose my mojo.. Me and a friend joked at the beginning of the year how we would go to the charity family fun day, size 10s in hot pants... The reality was I was still a size 16!
So first weigh in of July and I have restarted! Having just realised my twitter account and Facebook account are linked, I am hoping to get support emotionally, mentally and skinny-ly (I made that up!)
Love me! Xxx
