My partner proposed to me this morning

He was giving our little girl her breakfast when he suddenly sat down next to me and apologised for not being romantic very often. He got down on one knee and asked me to marry him. I stupidly thought he was joking and was laughing bur he wasn't joking Blush

Obviously I said yes! We've been through so much in the four years we've been together. We lost twins in the second trimester then had a second set of twins born four months early. Our daughter survived after over 7 months in hospital but our little boy passed away at four days old. We've been through loads besides. I adore him and he's a wonderful partner and father. We have another baby on the way too.

We haven't told anyone yet! Our families don't even know I'm pregnant (12 weeks). So we have a double dose of news when the time is right.

I can't stop smiling 🥲

Thank you all so much!

I'm sorry if it looked like I'd abandoned thread. Within a couple of hours of me posting this thread, I had the news that my closest friend's two year old daughter was critically ill. I spent all afternoon sobbing as her mum sent me the most heartbreaking and scary messages from the hospital. Thankfully they managed to stabilise her little girl and are trying to get to the bottom of what had made her so ill. It didn't seem right or appropriate to return to this thread during all that! She's still in high dependency but better than she was.

Thank you all again, so much. Your replies have been very special to me, especially from those of you who spent time on our TTC journeys together ❤️ Just lovely!

@Squiff70 sorry to hear that and glad she is doing much better now! Kids go downhill so quick at that age but they also improve really quickly. We've done a few ambulance trips with toddlers and you'd never know within a couple of days! Will keep everything crossed for her (and your friend).
