Dear Second Trimester
I'm truly sad to see you go. You were happy, easy going and brought so many wonderful moments.
Thank you for little kicks, punches, tickles and bubbles, for helping me get strong in Pilates, for giving me loads of energy, for all the laughter at how silly I look when I dance and for my shiny, thick, healthy hair. Thank you for giving Trev the chance to really bond with his daughter and for those beautiful moments when she moves as he speaks to her.
Mostly thank you for all the laughter and happiness. I've learnt to ask for help, laugh at the fact that I can't get my shoes on, love my new body and I discovered my new favourite form of entertainment: Belly Telly :-)
Admittedly, I haven't enjoyed feeling my ribs stretch and finding new ways to get comfortable when sitting or sleeping gets frustrating at times. But I never forget how much I wanted this experience and I've appreciated and been grateful for every single day, even the ones that hurt a little.
I hear that the third trimester is a bit hectic. I might be very fatigued again, the skin stretching has only just begun and Wren is about to have a massive growth spurt which will undoubtedly put a strain on my tiny torso in the unforgiving Jan and Feb heat. When it gets too much, I'll think of you my friend.
I hope that if we meet again our relationship will be just as wonderful. Trevor and I will cherish the memories you've given us forever.
With a tear in our eyes but a smile in our hearts, we bid you a fond farewell.
