🦄 FOUR! My girl is four. We made it here and wow, how we have grown! 😍
A three day prodromal labour, an intuitive, hands-off, physiological homebirth, and an incredible fourth trimester glued to each other’s side.
Our journey has been a unique one; from the moment our fourth tri finished. Tiggy has soothed my nervous system in times of great need. She has been my anchor, my peace and my power. You cannot drown when you have a tiny baby to nurture.
She has been on my hip, in my hands, or by my side through the most enormous of storms and while I have tried to guard them all from the stress, our kids feel everything. We have both sobbed through feeds, broken on bad days, become dysregulated and then calmed, together. I have laid by her side at most bedtime, stroking her back, while her breath grounded me once again.
I will continue showing my daughter that women are allowed to be angry, loud, sad, ambitious, leaders, powerful, independent, funny, silly and ugly. We can call out the things that aren’t right and we can stand our ground. We can be Alpha, we can disrupt, and we can be strong as hell.
Happy birthday to this joyful, sunshine, happy and secure little girl. Our unicorn obsessed, ballet loving, brother adoring, book reading, apple munching, princess dreaming bundle of gold. You have NO idea how loved you are, and how over the moon we are to call you ours 🩷
