Uncategorized – Dear Hunter

Dear Hunter,

You are officially now a one year old. Yesterday on your first birthday we had so much fun. I made 2 cakes for you, one for eating and one for you to smash.

I made you a white cow with rainbow layers inside. You started off poking it and eventually you were ripping it open and stomping on the buttercream icing. We hosed you off and you kept running around in the sunshine.

The sun was so lovely and warm all day. We did a lot of sunbaking and too much eating. The chocolate machinery cake I made you was mus cale and very rich.

We also had fun under the sprinkler, you rode the horsey, mowed lawns, played with your toys and balloons. You smiled and laughed all day. I think you were on a sugar high from all the cake as well. You skipped your nap today with all the excitements but then you slept for 12 hours.

We are so lucky to be your mum and dad Hunter King. You are loved by many people. You received gifts in the mail, messages on Facebook and lots of virtual reality cuddles were sent.

I love getting to watching you grow, explore, discover and process the world. You amaze me in every way. Too clever for your mummy. Sweet dreams my dear boy.

Love Mum xx

1 years old. You love brooms and mops. What a perfect gift on your birthday from Aunty Leecie.

Dear Hunter,

Today was your due date 1 year ago. 14/8/2020. I was all belly in my pregnancy with you. I loved every feeling of being pregnant. Just knowing that you were with me everywhere I went made me feel the utmost content. Besides your daddy, I’d never had anyone love or understand me like him and you. I already knew you were special the first time I saw you on that first ultrasound at 9 weeks.

Every kick made me smile. You made everyday exciting. When I was working as a nurse in theatres in Coffs Harbour, each day I would stop and just feel you moving, or I’d listen to your heartbeat with a stethoscope.

This time one year ago I was so excited to meet you, everyday I was waking up wondering if today would be the day. I still didn’t know if you were a boy or a girl yet, although I did have a big feeling I knew you were a boy. I craved way too much protein and meat through your pregnancy.

You held in there until the 20th of August. Only 6 days late. Who could blame you, it’s so warm inside my belly.

Fun fact: before pregnancy I’d eat 2 avocados a day. During pregnancy I couldn’t eat them, as the smell would make me feel sick. But you actually love avocados, it’s your favourite food at the moment which I’m glad as I thought you might have been turned off them.
