The latest issue of the British Journal of Midwife

The latest issue of the British Journal of Midwifery landed on my doorstep this morning - looks like I’m officially a published midwife! 👩🏼‍⚕️🥰
Check out my article on page 66 of January’s issue - all about how it’s the women you care for who teach you the most!

I’ve got a new post out over on the blog - including a video! Eek! 😊
Working Christmas as a Midwife was a new experience for me this year; not necessarily something I would choose to do, but it was festive and it’s certainly part of the job! 👩🏼‍⚕️
Link in bio for blog post & video! Hope you like it! 🤞🏻💋

Seems quite fitting really; a nice split between midwifery (as 2019 was the year I finally qualified as a midwife!) 👩🏼‍⚕️ and getting engaged (my most popular post by a MILE was our engagement announcement - turns out you guys just love love!) 😍

2019 has been a huge year.
Arguably most importantly, I got engaged to the love of my life💍 (@matt.griff90) - I don’t think anything will ever beat that!
Work-wise; I wrote a dissertation, caught my 40th baby, managed to finish my degree and graduate with a first class degree in Midwifery. 👩🏼‍⚕️
Life-wise; We found a lovely little house to live in, and moved from Hertfordshire to Shropshire. We picked our wedding venue, date, caterer and photographer - eek! 🥰👰🏼🤵🏼
Who knows what 2020 will bring; but it’ll take a hell of a lot to beat 2019!
HAPPY NEW YEAR when it comes!! Hope 2020 is a fantastic year for all! X

Three years ago today I was introduced to a wonderful man.🥰
Three years on and here we are - in a new home, in a new town, with a new job each and an amazing engagement ring on my finger - still can’t believe how lucky I am!
Happy anniversary @matt.griff90, I love you! 💋💍😍 xxx

Finally feeling festive! 🎅🏼
It’s taken a while this winter to find myself in the festive mood; partly due to being poorly last week, partly due to working long hours and just not really being able to relax into the season - but after seeing @domgriff93 up there as Prince Charming in panto with @matt.griff90 and the family, making my first batch of sausage rolls and drinking several glasses of steaming mulled wine, I’m finally feeling it! 🥰
I will be working on Christmas Day (and here’s to the rest of team NHS working over Christmas!) but you can absolutely count on it that when I get home, I’ll be indulging in all the turkey I can eat, washed down with all the baileys! 🎄
Merry Christmas everyone - hope you have a good one! 🎅🏼🎄💋

Curled up on the sofa feeling pretty sorry for myself today - I’m off with a nasty sick bug 🤒 - so I’m throwing it back to a wonderful week in Cornwall in September; Wedding planning and spending some quality time with my handsome fiancé! 😍👰🏼💋

Reminiscing on a fab festive @clarinsofficial pamper evening at @ndhairandbeauty a couple of weeks back - playing with makeup, trying out skincare and hearing all about the fab new wellness treatments - full post out later this week! 😍

This mucky pup had a good hour playing with his ball today! Puppy-sitting is good fun! 🐶🎾

That’s it - as of today I’ve officially been a registered midwife for a whole month! 👩🏼‍⚕️
It’s not always been easy, and moving to a new hospital has brought its own challenges, but honestly, I’m loving it! 😊
Bring on month number 2! (This amazing mug was a present from my fantastic in-laws-to-be when I started! Can’t get over it! 😍)

Throwing it back to this incredible meal at Couch’s in Polperro back in September! Amazing food by the wonderful @richardmcgeown. These scallops with chorizo did not touch the sides! 😍
I’m sure we will be back soon!

What a brilliant day! 👩🏼‍🎓
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! 😊🎓
What a whirlwind three years it has been and I don’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! 👩🏼‍⚕️💋👶🏼
