To My Gorgeous Second Born Now You Are One!

I must say that my gorgeous second born came as a bit of a surprise to me. I was feeling rather ill with flu like symptoms and was just about to take some medication. When I thought I’d better just check whether or not I was pregnant. Thank goodness I checked for the lines showed you were on your way. Having diabetes in pregnancy was no fun for either of us but you thrived and my family found out about your existence via Christmas card. You were due on the 4^th July but due to my kidneys arrived earlier in June after giving me contractions all night into the morning! Yes I still haven’t forgotten the tummy ache you gave me you little rascal.

From the off I knew you were different from your sister as she is more of a snacker than an eater. In fact if I'm not careful she’ll offer you her food too. You also differ in terms of noise. While she is a calm collected child who fears anyone raising their voice you tend to laugh it off and make a noise.  I've heard people say that the second born just slots in but I am certain this is not the case with you. You are quite the little diva when you want to be throwing baby tantrums too.  You love to be heard and your favourite word at the moment is ‘mumma’.  When the health visitor came over she enquired why you weren't doing things and as soon as you were shown you took off. If the door is open you’ll desire to practice climbing the stairs and you've discovered what your feet are for even if you choose to speed around the house on all fours at present. 

Your big sister has lovingly taken you under her wing even though she’s a little one herself and despite you both having your moments you continuously look to her for guidance even when you’re sat on my knee.

 Happy Birthday

My Lovely Little One  x
