Wow, Hormonal

So I just finished watching the "Cake Boss 'Baby Special' " on TLC and boy did I cry. First of all, all that stomach-y sick stuff I was dealing with the other day, has NOT gone away. So, I'm all emotional because of that, and obviously I'm preggers so that doesn't help!

They delivered a baby boy (which was a surprise) and named him Carlo Salvador. Carlo is Buddy's dad's name and Sal was a guy that use to work at the bakery, but just recently passed away. He also helped Buddy's dad from the beginning or close to it. So, it was rather sentimental.

Well, it got me thinking. Twenty days from today MY baby boy will be 1 year old. ONE! I can't believe we have had him for a year already! It was just yesterday that we brought him into this world weighing 7 lbs. 11 oz. and didn't even know where to begin once we got him home. We napped with him in our arms, we woke every 1-2 hrs to eat at night and he was just the perfect baby boy I could have ever asked for.

Birthday

And now, he walks, runs, starting to say some words, he tries to feed himself his baby food, he already does finger foods, he mimmicks like crazy, he laughs, screams with delight, and has brought us so much joy and so much love! He is (generally) the happiest baby boy and always seems to put a smile on anyone's face whom he passes. The ladies all seem to love him at church (and the grocery store) and at the mall playground. :o) He is just Mr. Personality and such a flirt.

Mr. Personality

He is my independent little punkin who grew and is growing too fast. And now, we are days from delivering baby number 2 and I just can't even fathom the independence she will have. If she will grow as quickly, if she will smile as often, if she will laugh and make us all laugh with her!

Independent

I know she is a blessing to us, she was conceived at such a time when God thought we needed her. I don't see why, but I can accept that. I can't even fathom the love I know I will have for her, even if today it doesn't seem like I could ever love another babe as much as Kyle. My sweet baby boy. Round 2 came more quickly than we thought, and we are bracing ourselves for the little blessing to come.


Oh my goodness, the tears just don't stop once they start, do they!? God has blessed me so richly and I don't deserve a speck of it. Doc keeps saying we will meet her any day now... Well, I hope any day is sooner, rather than later. I'm ready now. I want to snuggle again with a little babe, I want to teach her to walk, to watch her interact with her big brother and to see their friendship develop. Ok Baby, lets do this.
