Hi Hunter,
Mummy has been so slack recently! I've not written on here in over two months. Life has been busy!
Not only are we preparing for your little brothers arrival but it's also May.
May 10th was your 1st birthday! We had a really great day. Mummy had been dreading it and was terrified to wake up on your birthday but when I did it was much better than expected. We were very empty and struggled with how we thought we should feel on that day. But, Mummy and Daddy had a good talk and decided that on the day you were born it was a great day. We were so happy and complete that day. So your birthday was to be like that. Of course we had our tears and our very difficult moments throughout the day but over all we had a cool day. We took you and Cooper to the zoo! We saw all the animals and made animal noises, we took pictures of them and us. It was a bit cold but the sun was out (of course).
We talked lots about you the entire day. Mummy made you a big birthday cake in the shape of an 'H' and we took it up to you to light the candle and sing. Cooper blew out the candle and Mummy, Daddy, Cooper, Nana, both grandads, Grandma and even great grandma were there to share it and eat cake. We wrote cards and brought you gifts, we even sent a lantern up to you.
You will be such a little man full of confidence and independence now. We are so proud of you.
Then, it was the 20th. This day was super hard. Mummy and Daddy really struggled to get up. But when we did the sun was shining. We lay in bed with Cooper and your brother in my tummy and we listened to your songs. We looked at pictures, we remembered and we cried. Daddy and I miss you so much every single day.
And now, it's only a few days until your brother is coming. We are excited but it's also bringing a numb feeling with it. I want to be as excited as we were when you and Cooper were coming but that is very hard.
May is always going to be hard. Yesterday it was Coopers birthday. We came up to see you so you could wish Cooper a happy birthday. It was so cold with ice on the grass so we didnt stay for long. I found a feather on the couch yesterday so I know you were with Cooper on his birthday.
I love you Hunter. I hope you're behaving up there :-)
Keep your brothers safe.
