I really miss you. Baby Nina decided she wanted to join the world a month earlier than we all expected, so our time together was cut short. Even though I was starting to complain about how big you were - it was getting so hard to put on my shoes, and I kept bumping you into tables - I really didn't mind having you around. I still instinctively put my hand over on the right side to feel for any kicks or squirms, but now it's quiet. Then I remember that Nina is already here and I'm happy with that realization, but still sad that she's not part of me anymore, going along everywhere I go, eating what I eat, hearing everything I say, listening to everything around me.
We had a really good time together, you and me. And you were so cute, everybody loved you! You looked great even in winter sweaters, and you didn't knock me over even when I wore boots with heels. You never got quite big enough to be a true shelf or drink holder, but you were always a perfect fit for resting my arms. You were also so modest: even at the swimming pool people didn't notice you until I got out of the water.
In the end you did your job, and you did it well. Next time though, could you let me know how I can keep you around a little longer? More milkshakes? More afternoon naps? Fewer dumplings? You'll always be the boss, so I'll do whatever you want. I really hope that next time around we can hang out together even longer.
Miss you,
Allyn
