In August of 2007 I gave birth to a beautiful little boy named Zachary. Hes a mellow non dramatic child who is very cautious in everything he does. Having Zach was a blessing....he was the quintessential 'easy baby' who never cried...wanted to explore and was independent. I could lay him on a blanket and he would be more then content for at least an hour. Zachary was able to go to restaurants with out crying...anywhere with out crying. Nothing made this kid mad. He was amazing.
June 2008 when Zach was 9 months old I discovered that I was pregnant....again. I would like to say the tears I cried were tears of joy, but they were not...those came later. I cried for my sanity...for now only having 18months to get to know my first born Zach, for the 'free' time I had and was no for sure going to lose, for having to push another baby out...for everything really.
February 4, 2007 I gave birth via C-Section to a beautiful little boy we call Blake. I cried...and yes, they were tears of joy. He was perfect. I should have known what kind of baby he would be as I laid there strapped to the table. The Dr said he came out...fist first. Like he was punching my stomach. He was a mommy's boy from the get go. He always wanted to be touching me, snuggling, and cuddling. He started sleeping through the night when he was one month old which as most mothers know, is truly a miracle. He wasn't like Zach as a baby....but He wasn't 'hard' either. He didn't like to be laid on the floor. He was the baby that always needed to be held. By the end of the day my arms were rubber. Not only was I holding a newborn all day, I was also trying to handle my 'easy' one...who infact was still a baby.
Blake started walking when he was 8 months old....sign number two of what kind of kid I had created. He was running by 10 months and seriously hard to catch. When Blake was 13 months old...I found him on our refrigerator.Its around that time that my husband and I started joking around that our baby was straight out of the movie The Incredibles. Every day he did something new that shocked us. In the midst of all of Blake and his shenanigans Zach too had become a wee bit more mischievous.
This blog is a little look into the life of a mother of two very energetic little boys who are constantly learning and discovering something new to get into.The stories of how they shock their clueless parents, frighten their naive grandparents and amaze strangers. Welcome to my world. I live where the wild things are.
