I remember last Mother’s Day… it was my first ever… and I thought “how could it get any better than this?”
Then 2012 came…

Today was a very special day because it was the day we brought Wes home from the hospital! It wasn’t a long stay but everyone was happy and healthy and it was just easier to be home where we could all be together as a family. Before leaving the hospital, I made sure that I got a photo of Wes in his bassinet in the window just like a photo I had captured of Will when he was a newborn too! And then when we did get home, I made sure to be read for Will’s reaction when he got his first glimpse of the baby after he had awaken from his nap. Priceless!

Thank goodness for Daddies who know how to read a Mama’s mind. I was so excited on the evening of Wes’ first day here that Courtney went and picked up Will from daycare, took him home to eat, have a bath, put on some dress-up clothes and then brought him to the hospital to meet his baby brother. As much as I was excited for that part, I was just plain happy to see my little boy. It had been a couple of days and I needed that! He pointed a lot at Wes and said “baby!” and even obliged us with a litte kiss for him. He really is doing well with the whole transition so far. And that window seat was the best spot in the whole world to Will. He loved watching all the cars go by and probably could have sat there all day. You would hear him saying… “gooooooo!!!!” as if they were all in a race

In the early hours of the morning of May 11th, Courtney and I welcomed our second beautiful son into this world. As emotional as my first delivery was, I never expected this one to be even moreso. Maybe it is because I am a Mama already and know how much I am going to love this little being or maybe it was because it progressed so much more quickly this time around. All I know is that I sobbed when he was born and I could only hear his cries and hadn’t even laid eyes on him yet. And when I finally saw my first glances of our new son, I immediately saw so much of Will in him. Of course, as the days have gone by and I stare at him for hours on end, I can see all of the differences as well but I think that as he grows, there will be no mistaken the fact that they are brothers. He is so incredibly gorgeous and I can’t even begin to explain how in love we are and how wonderful our house feels with our two boys. We are definitely a family now and we look forward to everything the future has in store. Wes has definitely been spoiling us with lots of sleep but it still doesn’t mean that I am getting a thing done because I am so busy just sitting and watching him all day long. I know how quickly this time passes and I am trying to breathe in every moment of his newness.

Not very often do I get to sit in the back seat with Will these days so it was a special treat this morning when I did and he wanted to hold my hand. Funny enough, I think I needed this more than he did today because we were on our way for the induction… I was feeling excitement and butterflies and this tiny gesture put me at ease for sure.
