This book is my pregnancy and motherhood diary written as letters and poems to my baby whom early on I nicknamed Peanut. I wanted to catch the emotions that come with first discovering that you are going to become a parent in nine months and then with grappling with sleepless nights, leaking bras and the first twelve months of being a mother (as well as the occasional panicked feeling of 'Is this for real? I'm actually allowed to be responsible for another human being?) But it is not all panic There are times of immense joy that I would love to share with you. The first scan, steps and that first time Peanut made it clear that a chip off the floor was a delicacy worth three Michelin stars unlike anything I cooked. I hope you enjoy reading Peanut's story.
