Work! Work! Work!

So the reason that I havent written recently will of course be due to work! The reason that keeps me constantly busy, busy, busy! I went to London for meetings which were kind of interesting but not brilliant! I did get to go and see 'We will rock you!'' which was lot of fun and I got to meet people that I hadn't met before. It was different and better than going into work but I would have rather of stayed at home and had a nice time to relax!
I also did a pregnancy test and i'm gutted that you are still not here yet! I really, really wanted you to be here so that I can start planning for your arrival! I know that you will come in time and maybe thats my punishment because I have kept you waiting for so long but I hope its not too much longer.

Anyway I have a wedding to go to tommorow so I wont get a chance to write!

Love you so much already!

All my love

Nanny

Dearest Bubba,

Today I went to visit my nan! It made me want to have you even more! I remember when I was a little girl and I asked my nan a question; "Will you still be alive when I have children?" My nan answered " I can't promise but I certainly hope so." and when I asked my grandad he said "I don't see why not". My Grandad died a few years ago from cancer. I really loved him - he was so funny and clever, I could sit with him all day listening to his stories and talking to him. He was a lovely man and it really saddens me to think that you will never get to meet him. Thats why I really want you to meet my Nan because she is the kidest person I know, and she is so lovely. Everytime I see her though I get a pang in my chest because this woman that I thought was invincible when I was little is getting older and older each day and I can't lie to myself anymore that she is going to be around forever. Me and Daddy love her so much that we want you to grow up and know her before she has to leave any of us, like grandad.

I really can't wait for you to get here!
              
All my love,
           Always and forever.

Day 1; My New Journey

Dear Bubba,

Yesterday is the day that me and daddy decided that we wanted to start trying for a baby.
I had just finished reading a book called 'Where Rainbows End' by Cecelia Ahern. It was about these letters that were sent between friends spanning more than 40 years. The story is about friendship and missed opportunities!
It made me think how lucky I am that daddy is my best friend and that I love him so much. I'm lucky I met him when we were 16. In the past 6 years we have been through alot to get to where we are now and I know that there will be more but i'm not scared!
Lately I have been working so hard and I have just got a promotion. All this is really good and I love the company that I work for but I dont want to work in retail anymore. I work so hard but all I do is come home and stress at daddy which isn't fair on anyone! I have worked there for 5 years now so it will be a shame to take such a leap backwards but I really thing you will be worth it ten times over.
I really want to be an actress or a science teacher if all else fails, but how on earth can I achieve that when I work 60 hours a week!
Then the book got me thinking about you! Our not yet concieved baby - but one that we both want so badly! The only reason we haven't had you yet is because we are both so busy - I have decided that its not good enough. I want a baby now! I want to chose you over my job and I promise that from herein I always will! The book made me realise that I should take the chance when I can.  I dont want to miss out on the opportunity to have you.
I want to write this diary for you so that you can see how much you have changed my life!
Part of me is terrified and the other is really excited and happy that we have finally made this decision after 6 years!
Nana has been nagging me for ages to have a baby and your Aunty Clo wants one soon - she already has 2  so I think it is definitely my turn!

I can't promise that I will be a good mummy, that I will never make mistakes, or that we won't argue. I can promise however that I will love you until the day I die.

I can't wait to start this journey for me, you and daddy!

All of my love,
              Always and Forever
