I've never loved him more ...

I'll be honest, my husband took some convincing to have a baby. We met when I was 21 and he was just 22, 13 years later here we are, mortgage, married and a 4month old baby.

I have always been a believer of everything happens for a reason - things that have happened in my life, led me to him, led me to our life together. Sorry to bring up the current dreaded 'c' word, but Covid was a blessing in disguise for us. No relationship is perfect, and we were having some issues a few years ago - I'm not sure he wanted to grow up - think Peter Pan!! But then lockdown hit us, we were forced to stay in together - I was still working, remote learning from home, but once 3.15 hit, out came the board games, the cards, the ineveitable glass of wine - it was sunny after all!

In August, I broached the subject and asked if we could start trying for a baby around Christmas 2020, to my suprise (and delight) he said yes. Fast forward a year and some later, we have a bouncing baby boy, who is perfect in every way.

Watching them together, makes my heart melt, and I couldn't love either of them more than I do. Having some quality time over Christmas they were able to bond a lot more (he had to go back to work when M was 7days old) and you can see the excitement in both their faces at the end of the day when I call out, without fail 'Daddy's home!' They are going to be thick as thieves as M grows up, and I will happily watch it happen - father-son relationships are so important, for both father and son.

Picture of the special men in my life, I feel M will be as into food as his Daddy!
