I think she just felt my pain and wanted to step up for me, and I think that is a beautiful thing.
After the pregnancy, Marisa and Saskia were closer than ever.
And Saskia felt closer to Mike, too.
The care he'd given her confirmed what she already knew.
Mike was a real partner.
At this point, they'd been together for three years.
But the two of them never talked about getting married.
Neither of us were like gung-ho looking to this relationship for a marriage.
We didn't know if that was like the end result that we were looking for.
We knew we wanted to be together.
But as our families got really close, it didn't feel right to say this is my boyfriend.
So Saskia told Mike how she was feeling.
I was like, you know, it would really, it would be nice to be engaged.
It would be nice to like be able to say this to my fiance.
We don't have to get married anytime soon, but it would be nice.
And Mike thought it would be nice too.
With engagement on the brain, Saskia and Mike took a trip to Amsterdam.
They wanted to visit Saskia's relatives.
Her mom's side is Dutch, and a vacation felt like the perfect way to celebrate the end of the pregnancy.
We went to the Heineken Brewery, walked around, got Nutella coffees and went to the smoke shops.
