He's only my baby boy for a little while longer...
soon he'll instantly become a big brother...
he's already looking and acting so grown-up, it makes me sad...
he's so sweet and smart, he makes me proud every single day...
he's loving and cuddly, I hope his brother has those traits too...
just yesterday, he covered me up with a blanket on the couch, kissed my forehead, and told me to rest.
then he let me take a two hour nap, while he played cars and watched cartoons...
he's independent...
most of the time, he doesn't get into anything he's not supposed to...
I really hope his baby brother is just like him...
I can't believe that soon I will have two little men in my life...
I am scared, but oh so excited...
excited to meet our new little babe, and see Barrett Russell become a big brother...
he's growing up so fast, and becoming such a little man...
But then again, he'll always be my baby boy...no matter what.
Love the post. I'm sure your new little man will be just as sweet as Barrett. I cried a few times in the weeks after having Finley and all times were when I felt guilty for not being able to spend enough time with Gabe. As big brother he went from the only one, to the back burner (just as newborns are so much work). He's done great, but as his mommy, I just can't help to feel guilty most days and whenever Finley is crying and I'm holding him and I look at Gabe and he is staring off into the distance I wonder if he really misses the old days - at 2, he can't really verbalize it. I always called Gabe 'my favorite little boy' so when I could no longer say that it was crushing - but now he is 'my favorite big boy'. I think as women we are always too hard on ourselves. But, I'm sure you and Barrett will do great. :-)
ReplyDeleteWhat a sweet post...
ReplyDeleteso excited for you!!
B sounds like such an amazing little boy Laura! I can promise you that you will love this new little guy just as much as you do B. I was honestly worried about that when I was pregnant with Auden and I am amazed everyday at the two amazing little girls I have. Auden and Wynn are different in some ways but both very loving, sweet, snuggly and kind. I think that has alot to do with the parenting they receive so I have no doubt that your new little guy will be kind and loving just like B!
