It was you
that was inside me for 9 months
it was you
who kicked me in the ribs
had the hiccups every day
made me eat like a teenage boy for two months
it was you
who had me convinced you were a boy
who had me doubled over with pain when you started to come
who had me howling like an animal when you pushed your way out into this world
it was you all along…
and you were a girl
Welcome, Nakita Trinity. Born at home in the water on July 18 at 3:37 a.m.
We are so very happy you are here. In the two and a half weeks that you’ve been here, you’ve ripped my private parts, gave me hemorrhoids, peed on me, puked on me, and you know what? I wouldn’t have it any other way. (OK, so maybe not the hemorrhoids).
