I stood in-front of the mirror, admiring my now 6 month pregnancy bump. I think back to how confused me and Harry both were at the start, first finding out we were having a baby, comparing it to how content and organised we've become now. Harry crept up behind me, slipping his hands around my waist and cradling my stomach. I smiled enormously, feeling my heart beat out of my chest.

I lowered my top, taking a moment to look around our newly shared bedroom, completely furnished with mine and Harry's items. Although it looked extremely similar to that of his old flat it was completely designed to our touch. After I hit the 6 month mark, we decided it was time to prepare, incase of any unexpected arrivals. Harry found a replica of his flat shared with Cal and Callum only 6 floors down from their previous home, meaning we were no more than an elevator ride away. Our new 3 bedroom flat was more than big enough for us, deciding to turn one of the rooms into Harry's personal filming room, allowing him to create his own backdrop and giving me access to every room in the flat while he filmed without being disturbed.

Meanwhile we slowly began to order items online for our nursery, it would've almost been a great idea for a video if we had told the public, the idea of Harry trying to do DIY was amusing. We left the walls a universal white creating a theme for the furniture and accessories. I saw a much softer side to Harry expose itself as we shopped for baby items, his maturity shining through as he did his research for what we needed, only to be ultimately defeated by his actions of walking round mothercare with a dummy in his mouth.

We filmed a lot of moments, deciding they may be useful for future videos for his channel if we decide to go public. We produced a lot of great content, Harry in some of his funniest moods, erratically confused as the many choices of push chairs, trying to test them out before almost breaking one.

We entered the month of may, coming close to my graduation date in June. I was adamant to power through, I'd come too far now to not attend my own graduation, even if I am 7 months pregnant as I collect my certificate. Another moment of my life that isn't amounting to how I pictured it but none the less it'll be a great event in my life.

I walked past Harry's filming room, hearing him screams in frustration, i knew he was filming as he usually leaves the door open when he isn't, the howl of despair not so forced when he's without the pressure of the camera. I entered the soon to be bedroom of our child, looking around the bare room, nothing but a few plastic bags filled with baby items, waiting to be put away.

I continued this routine for the days leading up to graduation, having nothing to do but wait until the major events occurring in my life, one lined up after the other. First my graduation.
