Completely Different

Let me preface this by saying...I LOVE ALL of my children dearly...and I have come to realize that I hold a different love for each of them. Kerry Ann was my first...and my blessing...and my peace after having lost my first pregnancy. Riley was my surprise...is my spunk...and is surprisingly my sensitive little angel. Cole...he is different...not any MORE...but different. He also came to us after a loss...at a time when I felt like I could physically feel the hole in my heart. I can't figure out if it's just the simple fact that he's a boy...or that I know in my heart he's our last...or if this past year has taught me to treasure every second I have with my babies...but something is different. I just can't get enough of him! And the girls can't either...it's like he is carrying with him...an old spirit...like he knows he was supposed to be a part of this family all along. He LOVES to smile and coo...especially at his sisters. They, by the way, have been complete angels. Absolutely NO jealousy...and they fuss over him just as much as I do...it's just amazing. I have learned something from each of my kiddos. From Kerry Ann...peace. From Riley...patience. From Cole...just plain love. I finally feel like our family is complete. I have everything I have ever wanted out of life. God has given me a happy heart.
