TWO

Luke,

Two years ago was one of the most precious moments of my life!  Two years ago today at 12:14 you blessed us by entering this world.  You have changed so much, but you are still the fiesty little one that you were the minute you were born!  I knew you were gonna be fiesty even when I was pregnant with you.  I remember that Thursday morning so well.  I was started on Pitocin at about 10:00am.  That is a drug used to induce labor.  My contractions quickly progressed.  Dr. broke my water at 11:40am, and 3 pushes later at 12:14 you were born.  I really was blessed with the easiest labors!  I was overjoyed the moment I heard your first cry.  I will never forget the look on your Daddy's face when he caught the first glimpses of his first born son.  We were both overflowing with tears of joy!  I held you in my arms the whole day and just stared at the wonder in your tiny little eyes.  Sometimes I sit and relive those precious moments.  I remember everything from the smell of your sweetness, the way your skin felt so soft against mine, the way your tiny finger was like a little puzzle piece that fit perfectly wrapped around mine.  At that moment I realized that my heart now beat in sync with 2 amazing little pieces of me...you and your sister!  That moment forever changed me as I became the mommy of a beautiful little boy.  I feel as if my heart immediately doubled in size as I was overjoyed to love 2 littles.  I know I said this in a letter for your sister too, but I have to say this to you as well.  My life seems so much more important, like I have a reason to be here.  It seems more important, not because of me, but because of you.  I carefully make decisions now as every decision we make in life always has a consequence...either good or bad.  I want to be here for you always.  I want to watch you learn and grow and be here for every single moment in your precious life.  When you hurt, I hurt, when you smile, I smile...you have the most contagious little smile!  You are also quite the performer, loving all eyes on you, much different from your sister.  I find so much happiness watching you and your sister everyday.  You both complete me in every way and I couldn't imagine my life without either of you.  Lucas, I hope that I can always make you happy.  I know there are never words enough to say how much I love you, but I do hope that I can show you?  I promise to show you everyday of your beautiful life just how much I love you.  You make me so proud and I'm looking forward to all of the other precious moments and memories we will make and share.

I love you "little buddy",
Mommy
