One short year ago I was in the hospital with a fresh baby boy in my arms. He was perfect in every way and long-awaited through 9 FFAAATTTTTTT months of pregnancy and he was finally here!! (Okay, so I got induced.. don't judge me, I needed that baby out.) As you can see he was a welcomed addition.
Okay- Brynn may have asked me about 2 days after we came home with him- "Mom, when this boy baby dies, can we get a girl baby!?" Sweet Brynn. Never a dull moment with her even a year ago.... Amazingly she's gone from that question to loving her brother SO much. She's totally protective of him and will stand up for him even to me. She also has no problem poking him until he cries, locking him in the bathroom with the lights off, and pulling him around the house by his feet.... but let's focus on the good. The two of them as siblings has been more of a blessing to me than I could have ever imagined when we decided to try for another baby- which was of course going to be another girl... Oh God does have a sense of humor, doesn't he!?
What I didn't know then is that the baby boy God placed in my body was going to become the sweetest little boy I've ever known. From the day he was born no one has loved that precious little man more than his momma. He has blessed my heart in ways I never thought possible, and it brings me no greater joy than to see him bring joy and smiles to others. He loves to wave at ANYONE, he dances at the first beat of a song, and loves food quite possible as much as his mother (a true accomplishment, I assure you).
I can't believe in one short year I've watched him grow from this....
to this....
I will admit there have been times in the last year when Ive wanted to sell him to the highest bidder. But in all honestly, I wouldn't trade him for anything.. not even a girl baby. I love you sweet Trig Brody. I can't wait to see what God has in store for your years to come.
