...And then there were two.

I remember the first time I laid eyes on our son, Jack, I was in disbelief.  I couldn't believe he was mine.  He was this perfect little boy with fair skin and big eyes and a sweet disposition.  I lost my Dad about 7 years ago, and Jack is the spitting image of him, yet, he also looks a lot like my husband.  It's a win win, really, as both men are handsome and wonderful role models.

When I was pregnant with both Lily and Jack, I suffered enormously with something called SPD, now referred to as PGP (Pelvic Girdle Pain). Because my pregnancies were so close together, I never really had a chance to get over the symptoms from my first child to the next.  Therefore, with Jack it was severe.  I could barely walk, especially towards the end.  I remember going grocery shopping with my husband and daughter, and having to go and sit by myself in the cafeteria that had shut down for the night.  I was in so much pain and so embarrassed that I sat there while I waited for Rob to finish up, and just cried and cried.  Needless to say, I didn't enjoy my second pregnancy very much.

I wasn't very sure about Jack, I felt frightened.  I didn't think I could do this...take care of two young babies under the age of two.  Lily was 15 months old when Jack was born.  I was worried that I wouldn't love him as much as Lily.  She not only was my first child, but my miracle child.  Lily was the baby that I was told I could never have, so she was and is my joy, my tiny piece of heaven on earth.  How could I possibly love any other child like I love her? Then came Jack...

My little bundle of happiness who had me at "waaaaa waaaaaaa". lol.  As I mentioned before, my pregnancies were not fun, but with Jack, it was even more difficult.  Although I had a planned C section, it wasn't quite as easy as I thought it would be.  I won't get into detail, but, they had to knock me out to have him.  I had never been put under in my life and it felt horrible when I woke up...but thankfully, those little gingernut cookies the midwife brought me worked a treat!  I felt much better, and so they rolled my little Pumba in to see me.  He was perfect...and still is.  I have never seen a child smile and giggle so much at such a young age.  He's my happy little dude. 

So, now, not only do I get to love and BE loved by one of the most beautiful little girls in the world...I get it X'S TWO!!  I have won the baby lottery!! Now, this being said...I am no longer buying lottery tickets!!!  WE...ARE..DONE!! lol  Happy Weekend, everyone!! xx babiesmumma xx
