Kim Stainton, 32, Preston
There were boxes stacked in the kitchen, by the front door, more by the stairs.
It was January 2022 and we'd just moved into our new house, and life was chaotic.
And it was about to get even more so…
I had some news for my partner Liam, then 33.
‘I'm pregnant,’ I announced.
He stared at me, then his face split into a grin.
‘That's brilliant,’ he said.
With our son Ethan, then 3, and a new home, the timing could have been better, but we were thrilled.
