Two!

Sweet – Charming – Funny – Contagious – Adorable – Heart Throb

My Baby just turned Two!

Hard to believe it’s been two years already since that warm January day I walked into the hospital just to check and see if I was in labor.
I’m not one who can risk it, I had my second baby so quick I was afraid I’d sneeze this one out. His birth story is a classic “just like the movies” where I’m laying there one new year’s day, 9 months pregnant with 2 weeks  to go, watching the New Years Day parade when suddenly out of nowhere I was hit with a level 7 contraction, followed by another one 2 minutes later.
I jumped in the shower after the third one (in less than 5 minutes) to see if the hot water would help ease the pressure.  After getting out and realizing they were a minute and a half apart, I called the hospital and warned them I’m coming (HA! wait until you hear the reason behind that one). We jump in the car and head off no more than 45 minutes after the first contraction.
We arrive at the hospital at about 2:45 and with the aid of an amazing Doula, my husband and midwife, I deliver my 9lb 6oz bouncing baby boy at 7:16 pm.

There’s so much focus on documenting the first year, and it’s beautiful. But what comes after is just as meaningful.
This is where personalities start to shine, where little quirks appear, where you begin to see who they are becoming.
These years don’t slow down, they deepen.

One day, they’ll run ahead without looking back.
But today, they still turn to you, arms up, asking to be held.

Have you ever imagined the first time you’ll meet face to face?
The moment when your baby hears your voice from the outside and their little body relaxes, knowing, finally, you’re here.

Big siblings instinctively know their role, protector, guide, and best friend.
Watching them hold their new baby sibling with so much care is one of the sweetest sights.

It’s in the way they look at you when they think you’re not watching. It’s in the inside jokes, the shared glances, the way they instinctively reach for your hand.
Family love is woven into the everyday moments.
