Unexpectedly Expecting
Erm…so this happened! We’re expecting a baby boy in September! Somewhat of a surprise but I believe everything happens for a reason. Rewind… Let me take you back to a previous blog post not so long ago. Our story of an early miscarriage. If you haven’t got time to read the full post, here’s a quick recap. In November 2019 we found out we were pregnant, but after only a few days, a doctor confirmed a miscarriage. It was super early but that didn’t mean it didn’t affect us.

So Who Am I? – The Unmarried Military Spouse
I’m just an ordinary unmarried military spouse trying to adult my way through life, with a hint of what I like to call ‘a crazy brain‘. You know, those weird ass, mostly nonsense thoughts you have sometimes, where you wonder if anyone else thinks these things… Well I’m here to tell you they do! It’s hard isn’t it? Life! Having entered the over 30’s category as an unmarried military spouse, I decided a blog might be a good idea (and now a podcast!) I question everything and try to find my own logic through it. I figured if I write and just one person can relate (and feel a little more…
