I was mesmerised by how you crawled up my tummy sensing for a nipple, and then being yanked out of this bubble to the operating theatre.

After what seemed like eternity, the surgeon declared that it was just a second degree tear, and not a third. I gave little thought to this statement at the time, oblivious to the fact that small mistakes like these can have big consequences.

I was finally wheeled into the maternity room to find you snoozing in your Papa’s arms.

I then got to hold you properly.

My life felt complete.

What lay ahead for the next 14 months is no secret to anyone.

Your birth marked my birth as a mother, and ultimately the birth of Tridevi.

To the girl whose name means:
– She who lives
– She who is lively
– She who is full of life

Thank you for bringing life to my soul’s purpose.

Your Papa and I are so incredibly proud to be your parents.

We love you to the moon, sun, stars and galaxies in the Yoniverse 🌌🌕☀️

Blessed be xo
