I have two amazing little boys. If you ever met them you would fall right in love or at least that was the case for me. When I was expecting Julian it was a quite a roller coaster. His dad was on deployment and I was left all alone to go through an entire preganancy and birth. There were many times I would end up in the hospital not knowing if I was going into labor or if something was wrong. I would talk to him and rub my stomach and wonder which of the two he would like. Jules decided that he wanted to come into the world five days before he was due. I went into labor at six in the morning by one in the afternoon I was welcoming this little bundle of joy with lots of hair. While I was in labor I thought I wasn't going to make it. There were times when I would be so tired I just couldn't push anymore. My mom had flown in and she had this worry look on her face as if she were about to loose me. Till this day I have no idea where that extra strength came from but I got it together and brought this amazing bundle of joy into my world. He had perfect tan skin and straight jet black curly hair. Jules has gone through many different looks. He went from looking Indian, Arab and now to his present day features which are the ones that resemble me.
With Jake he decided that he was going to be born on his own time. He was born five days after his due date. The boys dad was on yet another deployment when I went into labor with him. Like with Jules I prepared his room. For Jules I had a solar system theme with glow in the dark stickers and had a model of the planets and sun hanging from the sealing. With Jacob I had the from prince. I painted the room the room to look like he was in a field with green for the grass and blue for the sky. Labor with Jake was different. I knew what to expect and had great communication with the doctors. Seeing as Jacob was on his own time table it got a little hectic when his heart rate started dropping and I still was not dialated to ten. They gave me something to help it along and after a bit we were ready to push. Unlike with Jules I had to wear an oxygen mask to help me breathe and at one point I had a nurse pushing down on my stomach. Jacob was a very stubborn child from the beginging. Then the moment came when I met him face to face. Jacob was my little old man, he came into this world bald and very wrinkle. The first thing he did was pee on the nurse. The moment I saw him him I fell in love for the second time. The first of course was when I met Jules.
To this day I still I stare at them in amazement. I play with their hair and give them countless hugs and kisses. When I get home I ask them about their day and read to them. When I tuck them in at night I kiss their foreheads and am so thankful I have them. When they get older I of course want to have another child and welcome into my life yet another addition to my family.
