True Love... (final entry)

For some reason my beaded "o" looks as if it is way off-kilter- but it must be the scan b/c I have checked and rechecked and IRL it IS straight lol- or at least straighter :)

Journaling:
When I look at this picture I am overwhelmed with thoughts & emotions... all so very different. I see my baby boy all grown up into the perfect big brother- the one I always wished for but never really thought you could be. I see the baby girl I always wanted; and she is everything I'd hoped for: perfect and sweet and lovely and so aware of everything. I see a picture that wasn't what I wanted but turned out to be just perfect anyway. I see my hand touching my darling boy's face... and I remember wondering how hard it would be on you to have a new little sister, a competitor for mom and dad and more importantly- nana's affection! And yet- you have taken it all in stride. No jealousy has marred your relationship with your "sissy". Since that first day you have been her protector. You are the one who can make her tears stop by doing that crazy little weird song and dance combo. You were the first to get her to giggle out loud. She only has eyes for you. . . tracking your movements till she can't see you anymore. And you are definitely aware of her needs- bringing her a bottle, or her diaper, or her toys- whichever you think she most *needs* at that moment.

I always wanted 2 children- a boy and then a girl... I wanted them in that order because I had these romantic, silly notions about a loving, protective big brother always watching out for his little sister. I’ve found that my romantic notions are even sweeter when they become reality! I now know that if something were to happen to your father or me... you will always have each other; and that brings me great comfort! A good friend (your godmother) once told me that we all need brothers and sisters... because no one else in the world can ever truly understand how crazy our parents are. Though I hope your dad and I aren't *too* crazy, I feel better knowing that you will always share a common bond of memories, ancestry... and crazy parents. And you will always be Adele's first TRUE LOVE !

PS: I mention in my journaling about the picture not being what I wanted.... My DH was supposed to be taking a picture of myself with the kids- our first Mommy shot with the new baby! Well- he cut my head off at an awkawrd level + I looked HORRID! My first impulse was to toss the picture b/c there was a 2nd- better centered photo... but when I saw my son's sweet face I knew I HAD to keep it... after cropping it is the most perfect picture to me ever! My DD was not even a day old yet... her first picture as well :)
