“The best thing that happened to me last week was I went for my 12-week scan, as I’m having a baby, and I saw the little baby moving around.
I just couldn’t believe how active it was, even though it’s just 12 weeks. I just felt a connection already. So, that was very exciting.
I’m working at the moment – obviously looking forward to having a baby. It’s been nine years since I had my first one. Last year was quite tough for me. There are lots of things that I lost, but this year, you know, I’m looking forward to just gaining, and family-wise taking each day with a grain of salt.
New Zealand has been home for 21 years. Before that, I was in the Middle East, and I guess the most important thing to me is being satisfied with yourself and making sure that I’m always myself and I don’t allow anyone to change who I am, and what I do.
I had my first one when I was quite young, and you know, it was a rollercoaster. It was hard at times, but overall, now he’s almost nine and it’s been a lot of fun. I could not have asked for a better friend. We pretty much have grown up together, and we’re both looking forward to another one joining our little duo, becoming a trio.”

She’s an amazing lady, and she has long-term memory loss.....she repeats the many, many stories that she has, and we have learned over time to appreciate the stories, and listen to them as if they’re the first time we’ve ever heard them."
