My gorgeous girl Alessia arrived three weeks and one day early. Alessia was due to be born on the 4th July, which is American Independence Day, however popped out early in mid June at 36 weeks and 6 days. Due dates are never accurate anyway! We did think we were going to have a “Cancer” star sign baby, however, she…
I’m currently just over 30 weeks, in my third trimester and thought I would reflect on my second trimester. We were super lucky to do a few baby moons in the second trimester which were all really lovely.
