Instagram post 2171030375598266565_27414030 Thatโ€™s it - as of today Iโ€™ve officially been a registered midwife for a whole month! ๐Ÿ‘ฉ๐Ÿผโ€โš•๏ธ Itโ€™s not always been easy, and moving to a new hospital has brought its own challenges, but honestly, Iโ€™m loving it! ๐Ÿ˜Š Bring on month number 2! (This amazing mug was a present from my fantastic in-laws-to-be when I started! Canโ€™t get over it! ๐Ÿ˜)
Instagram post 2163118647589839164_27414030 Throwing it back to this incredible meal at Couchโ€™s in Polperro back in September! Amazing food by the wonderful @richardmcgeown. These scallops with chorizo did not touch the sides! ๐Ÿ˜ Iโ€™m sure we will be back soon!
Instagram post 2155489547706505015_27414030 What a brilliant day! ๐Ÿ‘ฉ๐Ÿผโ€๐ŸŽ“ Yesterday I graduated with a First Class Honours Degree in Midwifery, and was hugely proud to speak on behalf of all the graduates in the ceremony itself too! ๐Ÿ˜Š๐ŸŽ“ What a whirlwind three years it has been and I donโ€™t know how I could have done it without this wonderful man by my side - now for the next adventure; actually being a qualified midwife! ๐Ÿ‘ฉ๐Ÿผโ€โš•๏ธ๐Ÿ’‹๐Ÿ‘ถ๐Ÿผ
Instagram post 2151109511184522864_27414030 Throwing it back 6 weeks to perfect afternoon walks on the beach with the handsome one - cornwall, as always, you were magical - we will be back soon Iโ€™m sure! ๐Ÿ˜
Instagram post 2146690716651171818_27414030 After receiving my results last week, confirming I have got a First Class Honours Degree (still buzzing!), yesterday I finally got my NMC registration pin through! I am officially a fully fledged Registered Midwife!!! ๐Ÿ˜Š๐Ÿ“š๐Ÿฅ‚๐Ÿ‘ถ๐Ÿผ๐ŸŽ‰ Now to brace myself for a few days before I start work at my new hospital next week! Eek! ๐Ÿ‘ฉ๐Ÿผโ€โš•๏ธ
Instagram post 2136249921871653831_27414030 On Monday morning we said goodbye to number 35, packed up our final things and drove away. ๐Ÿ“ฆ๐Ÿš› The first place we lived together, and a lovely little home - yes, you had your quirks, with the boiler that you never totally trusted to work, and the gaps under the back door letting all manner of bugs in, but, number 35, you were a good home! ๐Ÿ˜ Now onto pastures new, to make a new home together, in new town with a new job - I wonโ€™t lie, itโ€™s really daunting but pretty exciting too. ๐Ÿ’๐Ÿ’‹๐Ÿ“ฆ๐Ÿš›๐Ÿฅ‚
Instagram post 2129827856771765607_27414030 Still absolutely blown away by the amazing food we had last Wednesday night at Couchโ€™s in Polperro! ๐Ÿ˜ This cod just fell apart, was so beautifully seasoned and the skin was perfectly crisp - YUM! ๐Ÿด๐Ÿฅ‚ - Mid-House-Move this week, so Iโ€™m eating some very odd meals made from whatever was left in the freezer...definitely not worth sharing! ๐Ÿ˜‚
Instagram post 2126949412622839421_27414030 Lovely evening last night - walk on the beach, sunset from the hot tub and then cosy evening in. ๐Ÿ˜ Cannot beat a gin and tonic in the hot tub with this view! ๐Ÿ’‹๐Ÿน Itโ€™s been a really exciting week but also quite stressful with some big decisions and a huge amount of driving, so a few days of downtime together is already absolute bliss! ๐Ÿ’๐Ÿฅ‚๐Ÿ˜
Instagram post 2126163153730263437_27414030 Incredible dinner last night with @matt.griff90 at Couchโ€™s Great House in Polperro - celebrating a busy but absolutely fab week of viewing potential wedding venues! ๐Ÿ’๐Ÿพ๐Ÿ‘ฐ๐Ÿผ๐Ÿคต๐Ÿผ Was a real pleasure to meet chef @richardmcgeown properly and discuss ideas for wedding food too! ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿฅ‚ More foodie photos to follow; trust me, youโ€™ll be blown away!
Instagram post 2113101497462921902_27414030 For those who donโ€™t know; in addition to completing all my skills and passing all my modules (both of which I have done!) I have to personally catch 40 babies to qualify as a midwife. ๐Ÿ‘ถ๐Ÿผ There have been times over the past few years when this figure seemed insurmountable but on Monday this week, at 11.59am, I caught my 40th baby - a beautiful baby girl!!! ๐Ÿพ๐Ÿ˜ I think itโ€™s finally hitting home now, with this 40th birth; only 3 more shifts and Iโ€™m going to be a midwife!!! ๐Ÿ‘ฉ๐Ÿผโ€โš•๏ธ๐Ÿ’‹๐Ÿ‘ถ๐Ÿผ
Instagram post 2112429415007552755_27414030 Having wanted to see it for AGES, last week, the day came! The wonderful @matt.griff90 got @cursedchildldn tickets as a surprise extra Christmas present (Iโ€™m a lucky lucky girl!) and at that time August felt ages away - but itโ€™s just flown by!! ๐Ÿ˜Š Little did I know that by the time August rolled around, this wonderful man would be my fiancรฉ too! ๐Ÿ’ Top surprises over the past 9 months handsome man! ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜ Now, how to top this for his Christmas present...?!?
Instagram post 2111658049610409205_27414030 Last week was my final graded paperwork submission - the book filled with a thousand signatures, signing off that I can do each and every skill required of a midwife, and the final signature stating that I have fulfilled all the requirements and can join the register as a qualified midwife! ๐Ÿฅ‚๐Ÿ‘ฉ๐Ÿผโ€โš•๏ธ๐Ÿพ Couldnโ€™t have done it without these girls - so it was even more special to all make our final submission together! Eek! Thanks for everything girlies! ๐Ÿ’‹๐Ÿ’ƒ๐Ÿผ
