Our Second Born
What are little boys made of?
What are little boys made of?
Slugs and snails
and puppy dog tails.
That's what little boys are made of!
On January 29, 2008 I was nervous, anxious, excited, and restless!
No sleep came that night for the next morning I would be going in for a scheduled c-section to have a precious baby boy. On the morning of January 30th my husband and I left our house about 5 am to head to the hospital. At 7:41 a.m we had heard his first cry! A beautiful blue eyed, dark haired, 8lb. 7oz. baby boy had made us a family or four!
After our first born I couldn't imagine loving another baby as much as I had loved her.
However, it is amazing how quickly the "Mothering Instinct" kicks in!
Instant Love!
Instant Love!
A few hours after he was born he had to be connected to a machine to monitor his breathing.
He was a little delayed.
One nurse came in and suggested I lay him on my chest to see if it would comfort him. I was amazed!
As soon as they laid him on me his breathing went to normal.
He could hear my heartbeat. Talk about the best feeling in the world.
Needless to say not many others held him that day because he was at such peace being with me!
I guess you could say he was a "Mamas Boy" from the very start!
That hasn't changed much since that day and I love every minute of it.
He is such a sweet, tender heart-ed, fun-loving boy.
You can defiantly tell a difference between little girls and little boys.
He loves all things dirt, worms, trucks, ball, caps, miss matched clothes, and the list could go on.
He has had two sets of stitches and he goes from sun up until bed time and some days I wonder where he puts all the food he eats?!
I now understand the saying, "Boys eat you out of house and home!"
What do the teenage years have in-store?!
He has always been my cuddle bug!
I always said that I wouldn't be the parent who let there kids sleep with them on a nightly basis.
Boy, was I wrong with that. He went through a stage where if anyone wanted sleep he better be in the bed with me! Still to this day every now and again about 4 or 5 am he sneaks into the bed with me!
One night as he was crawling into our bed he said, "Mama, I just love you so much I can't be without you!"
Who can say "No" to that?
I've had several friends through the years that have been pregnant and hoped for little girls.
Let's face it, it is funner shopping for girl clothes, lace, and bows. There is only so many pairs of blue jeans, denim overalls, and t-shirts that can appeal to someone in the little boys department!
Only to find out that they are having a boy. My comment to them is always, "Little boys love their Mama so much! Just wait and see!"
So dirt, mud, sand, puppy dogs, and snails, I'm so glad that this little boy is mine!
