Waiting as FaceTime connected, I wouldn’t keep our news a surprise for much longer.
‘I know you’re on holiday, but we’re pregnant!’ both me and my partner Josh, now 30, squealed as the call connected.
‘Finally!’ my mum, Tracey, and dad, Mike, smiled.
My sister Emma, and Josh’s parents, Cherie and Paul, were completely over the moon, too.
Together for 14 years, Josh and I had been planning to get pregnant for a while.
And finding out that we were expecting a boy at our 20-week scan, our faces said it all.
Josh was the happiest I’d ever seen him.
As days turned into weeks, the rest of the pregnancy went by in a breeze.
By six-months, we’d already decorated the nursery in a safari theme.
And then, on 2 January 2022, our baby boy Lucas was born at Arrowe Park Hospital, Birkenhead, at 12.24am, weighing a healthy 8lb 1oz.
