This will be my favorite post about my precious little man and his sweet announcement! I’m already fighting back the tears! (too late) This just made everything so much more real for me and reality is hitting to share this with you. But first, let me reflect a bit on the past 3 years with our little Roman boy.
Precious son, Roman, I can’t tell you enough how much I love you and how dear you are to us! Mommy and Daddy couldn’t wait for you to come into this world and how blessed we’ve been to start our family with such a loving, sweet, smart, and handsome son. You are our whole world! I never imagined what it would be like to be a BOY Mom (especially a blue/green eyed, blonde with curls!) but you have made it so wonderful! You were THE BEST baby a first time Mommy could ask for, couldn’t have asked for an easier baby, thank you! Sleeping on your tummy through the night starting at just 2 months old, listening to stories read to you over and over each afternoon from 4 months, talking early on with a wonderful vocabulary, rocking and singing to you “This Little Light of Mine” and “Rock a Bye Baby” every night, eventually leading to you requesting “please lay down with me” when you got older, (which we still do from time to time because you share the sweetest things with us), not wanting me to spray your hair and comb your precious curls (otherwise you’d have crazy hair), loving wrestling with daddy, playing hide and seek and duck duck goose as our evening family games, cleaning house and jamming to country music, always stopping to dance together, you talking about protecting and fighting away bad guys @ just 38 whole pounds, your silly and independent personality…..I could go on! I try to soak up these sweet sweet days with you because I know one day they will be different. You are starting to spring up and grow way too fast for me! Time stand still!
Over the past year you’ve started to say, “When I’m a big brother….I’m gonna…” out of no where. I’ve felt guilty it being just little you in our family and hearing you starting to talk about one day being a big brother made my heart swell! I knew even though it may not make sense that now was the “perfect” time, I knew God would see fit when he was ready for us to have another baby. I am so excited for this next chapter of life together! Telling you that you would soon be a BIG BROTHER was so much fun and ever since, you ask me every day, “Mommy, do you still have a baby in your belly?” and now when I tuck you in bed you sweetly and tenderly share “Mommy, I’m so glad I get to be a big brother, I’m so glad you are having another baby.” That blesses my heart more than words can share! I can’t wait for you to get to experience having a brother or sister to be proud of! You are going to be the BEST big bro! You already talk about protecting them and holding them. SO funny, you also wanted me to have 2 babies, like your cousins, you wanted a boy and a girl. You were a little bummed Mommy was just having 1 baby. I think you are MORE than ready for a sibling and we are so excited to share this time with you! Baby #2 coming end of July 2015!
We are so proud of you and so blessed to have you as ours Roman! You will always be our precious little boy! I LOVE YOU WITH ALL MY HEART! and you say it back every time! 😉
