3 years ago this little guy entered our world. We had a comfortable world where things were beginning to fall into place then I got the news, I was preggo again, it was a shock, I was on the pill after all, okay so I missed a day when picking up my new prescription and I was on strong antibiotics which I think cut the affect of the birth control but nonetheless, big surprise. It was above all scary because all I had gone through with my first labor and I felt even more unprepared. Luckily I had a great doctor who kept asking me if I really wanted to close up shop aka tie my tubes and my husband and I felt like we should and although sometimes I crave for little girls, it was the right decision. But back to 3 years ago, a scheduled C-Section, no contractions, I will take it. When Joshua was born, he was different, I thought he looked like Max and he had droopy eyes and what an appetite, he cried and cried, wanted to be fed and it was never enough. Recently we found some old tapes and one that really was emotional was the one of him in the hospital and the day Lucas met his little brother Joshua. As years go by we forget, we so forget how things were and what our kids look like so it was good to remember, to reminisce and to show them the day they met. I also saw how Lucas was still a baby and here was introduced to someone he would have to share space, toys, parents love and a room. He kissed him and pointed to him and was happy, happy til he saw he would be taking Joshua home with us, he sat on the floor and cried wanting to be picked up and with car seat, new baby, many bags and a long  walk to the car, that was hard to do and it was a sign to the challenges ahead. Overall they are such companions for each other, little Josh although more agitated and so different than Lucas loves his big brother and imitates him so much, last Sunday at church he would not go to his class but wanted to go to Lucas’ Class. Joshua is so smart, he remembers words, places and things he sees and hears only one time and the droopy eyes continue especially when he is really sleepy and comes to me to play with my hair. My baby is turning 3 today and I am so thankful to God for another year of health, happiness and love and even when he grows up and moves away, he will always be my baby. I love you Joshua and I pray for many blessings for you always. Here are some pictures I love that Paula Leme took of us last year.
