It’s been 4 months since we gave birth to Nayely and I’ve suddenly started remembering things, the fun things like the time I sat in the bath and suddenly had a craving for a slush puppy. It was a Sunday night and all the shops were shut, I wanted to cry then I remembered that the news agents open till 10pm, it was 9:30pm I quickly called them to make sure the slushy machine was still on and then sent Nathan to get me one of each flavour! And the time when I got excited at an all you can eat Indian because they had chunks of watermelon as a desert, I hate watermelon but Nayely loved it and she made me eat loads of it. Oh yes and the time when I had such a strong craving for Brussel sprouts – I ate too many, gave myself such bad trapped wind I looked like I’d gone into labour! Chocolate cake was another of my cravings. I also had the strangest thing I’ve never experienced this before, physical cravings, like I would be sat down with the family and I’d suddenly get this overwhelming need to have a bath and I would only drink through a straw. My sister Kimberley actually bought me a box of 100 straws as a joke! On the not so nice side, she made a cup of tea taste like it had been brewed with fish water the smell of coffee made me gag and I couldn’t wear any perfume for the feeling I would pass out. In all of the sadness I’d forgotten these funny moments, I must say I’m still miffed that she made me eat watermelon and ruined my cup of tea but I do love her and I’m glad I’ve remembered all of these things. I can’t face blogging the funeral today so I thought I’d share this with you instead, I hope you’ve enjoyed reading about my cheeky girl and how her personality showed, I didn’t get to meet her alive and in the flesh but I feel like she was showing me who she is from the start, she’d have been a funny, cheeky, wonderful little character. We love you Nayely Adelpha Clapp, forever and 8 xxx
