7 years

Today is our wedding anniversary. Cant believe its been 7 years already.






We've done a lot in that time. It definitely hasn't all been easy, but thats not what a marriage is. It takes work and commitment.

We've had a lot of great times, and not so great times. But im definitely looking forward to a lot of great times ahead and as we are growing as a family, our marriage is also changing and growing.

One of Matt's greatest qualities is his caring nature. He is always ready and willing to look after me when I am sick, in general I think he always wants to take care of me and our family, everything he does is because he wants to provide the best for us.

He is a great father, as I knew he would be, and as a husband he has been amazing over this journey of having our first child. Through my pregnancy he looked after me, drove me to work most days even though it meant going out of his way, dealt with my pregnancy cravings and freak-outs about money, labour, etc etc..(all those things that pregnant women worry about). When Cadell was born he was an incredible support for me through labour and then afterwards while I struggled with new motherhood. He can be extremely long-suffering ( all though I tell him to express when he is frustrated otherwise it all comes out at once!) and managed to suffer through a lot of hormone/sleep-deprived/pain induced behaviour over those first few weeks of Cadell's early life.

I do not probably appreciate him as much as I should, and I want to work on that during the next stages of our life together. I know with young children often the marriage can get forgotten about, and I don't want that for us. As we are wanting to grow our family in the next year or so I know we need to prioritise to make time for our relationship. I want our children to see how much their mummy and daddy love each other as well as how much we love them.

Our life is a great life, and I am looking forward to many many more years together, growing our beautiful family and whatever our little family ends up doing, I just want us to be doing whatever it is,



Together.

Bethan at 3 weeks old

She did a 7 hr stretch last night! She has been going to bed around 8-9pm and doing 6 hrs until 2 am and then going back down from 3 - 6 am but last night she slept from 8-3am then back down from 4-7am. It was lovely to have that much sleep. She's doing so well, she was 4.3kg at 2 weeks 2 days which is about 700grams up from her birth weight. She's in a bit of a routine during the day too, ive been trying to get her to have a little sleep in the morning, but the a bigger 2 +hr sleep at lunchtime, and then she will just do a few little naps before bedtime.  In the next few weeks I will work on getting her bed time down to 7pm and then 6pm. She also started cooing properly at 3 weeks 2 days and has been smiling since day 4.
