My smallest boy is now ONE!

-

Leading up to baby D turning one whole year old i felt so excited for him yet at the same time i don't want him to get any bigger, i love this age and his size, hes just adorable!

 Over the recent months he has learnt to crawl, climb, stand without help and play with his big brother, which is amazing to watch. I couldn't feel any prouder of this little boy of mine, from the day i found out i was pregnant to right now i've felt nothing but want and love for him. He has amazed us non stop with how quickly he can crawl, how brave he is when he bumps himself and doesn't get upset, how stubborn he is when he wants something or doesn't want something he makes sure its known.
He can say 'ilk' for milk, 'apple' 'anana' for banana, 'amma' for grandma, 'mama', 'more' 'ba' for bath and 'up up' with his arms stretched out to be picked up. 
He can feed himself his little bite sized pieces that i chop his food into and can confidently share a bath with his brother playing and splashing without a care in the world (and without ever needing the use of a bath seat unlike what his big brother had)
He has the most gorgeous little smile that shows all 4 of his tiny teeth and a brilliant little curly afro!

 For his 1st birthday we spent it with family, having a small intimate tea party and as you may have read from my previous post, we dared to set up our very own cake smash shoot at home.

 I just can't believe an entire year has passed and so much has happened in that time for baby D with the little things he's learnt and how much he has grown. 
A lot has also happened for us as a family and especially me as a mother, now to two little people. 
Baby D took his first road trip from the town we used to live in near Ashford, Kent, at 8 weeks old. He was a dream on the journey if i remember right!
We celebrated our first Christmas as a family of four which felt amazing.
As a new family of four, the boys daddy and i made a huge decision to up and relocate to Somerset meaning J had to switch to a new nursery in a whole new area and the OH and i left our close friends behind and settle into a new area that we didn't know at all.
My OH had to do a job that he has never ever planned on being in, just to get us by until he found the right job for what he is qualified in.
I made a big decision for me personally, to apply for a place at college as a mature student to finally complete Hairdressing which has been a love of mine for years!
I also went through the hardest time I've ever had in my life which has lead to me being diagnosed with OCD however i'm now proud to say that i am coming out of the other end slowly but surely.

 We are most definitely looking forward to this next year and seeing what it will hold for not only our beautiful boys but for us a family of four.

About me

-
I decided to start this blog in hope that someone who may share the same anxieties/OCD and anything similar, to me, will find it helpful.    I'm not entirely sure where to start however a little bit about me seems like a good place. I am a 25 year old mum to two boys, my eldest is 4.5 years old and my youngest is 10 months.  I also have a very supportive (and patient) fiance and we have been together for 6 years now. We have very recently relocated to Somerset to be closer to my family, it has been the best decision we have ever made but shortly after moving, the worst time of my life. I haven't always had OCD or suffered with anxiety and if i'm honest i'm not completely sure when it all began, i have some idea which i will explain in my coming posts where i will share my journey leading up to diagnosis also sharing with you my life as a mum raising two boys.

Lets talk strength

-
I wanted to do a post discussing in some round about kind of way on how i have realised that i had the strength to make it through my darkest time, just prior to being diagnosed with OCD.  I found myself thinking today randomly back to one morning at the very beginning of this illness. I refer to it as an illness because of everything i suffered and am still slightly suffering with. It is an illness in that it consumes you, it can make you feel extremely unwell, you don't feel yourself, you may over eat or not eat at all, in my case i couldn't bare to eat and that made me unwell in myself. It can rob you of your happiness, your sleep, your confidence and the worst part is that it creeps up on you and steals a place in your mind. Anyway, as i said, i found myself thinking back to one morning at the very beginning of this illness. I was at home this particular morning, At this point i didn't exactly understand what i was going through and i had decided to stay at home...

My journey on how it lead to me being diagnosed with OCD

-
This post was written around August 2017 and although i wanted to post it back then, i just didn't feel comfortable to do so.  I couldn't even proof read it back because it made me feel so uneasy, it was still too fresh in my mind and i have mentioned a few times, if you've read my previous posts, that this was the post that made me feel so awful reading it back that i never felt strong enough to post it. I really hope that as a result of opening up and sharing my situation, it may comfort you or someone else going through something similar.  So i have recently been diagnosed with obsessive compulsive disorder as you may have known from reading my previous posts. This is the main reason why i started this blog, because id like to help anyone who is currently suffering with the same thing weather your unsure what is going on, or you've recently been diagnosed yourself or even if you've come through the other end of it and your managing it. I welcome any messages...
