five months ago.

This is what we were doing five months ago today. It was the third most beautiful day of my adult life. (first being my wedding day, and second was Lauren's birth) It's hard to imagine life without our little chubbers. What a miracle! I'm still in shock how this little person came into our lives. He has brought with him a little piece of heaven. 

I am amazed how much room there is in my heart. It felt so full when I found Mr. W. Then even more so when we were blessed with Lauren. I felt happy and content with our first little miracle.

 Little did I know there was space waiting to be filled by our second little miracle.

I'll never forget the emotion of that day. Mr. W and I, waiting to see this beautiful baby we had created. Lauren's excitement for this brother she had waited nine years for. 

Mr. W whispering the sweetest words to me while I labored. His voice is so soft and tender. 

He held my hand and told me he had never loved me more. 

I still get butterflies.

Then when he finally arrived, we all cried. He screamed, then he peed on the doctor. 

(way to make an entrance into the world my little boy!)

Then he started to calm, and he stared at his sister as she held him. She said she didn't expect to cry.

I tried to take it all in, trying to file away every moment into my memory. 

As the two of them put on his first diaper, I laid there and watched my Mr. become the father of a newborn again, and my little girl become a big sister. 

I sobbed.

This is the sweet baby that has taken his place in all three of our hearts. The past five months have been beautiful. (even the typical moments of newborn struggles) 

We're glad you chose us. You were worth the wait!

Love,

Mommy
