Thank you my love

Angus you have been such a wonderful little boy. I am so grateful to have you in my life. The last few weeks have been hard for both of us. Your little brother is due any day now and Mommy's tummy is getting heavier and heavier. You my boy are growing up so quickly and moving so fast that it is sometimes hard for Mommy to keep up with you. I know it's hard being at home all day. There haven't been many sunny warm days for us to go on walks to the park. Your climbing skills have improved greatly over the last couple of weeks, you really are one smart cookie! Last week you had a goal of reaching the lock on the front door, since standing on your toes has not worked out for you, you found a box and pushed it up to the door then proceeded to climb the box to reach your goal. Mommy and Daddy are so proud of you. We are extremely worried about your safety but impressed on your problem solving skills!

I want you to know how happy you make your father and I. We love you so much and we hope you wake up and go to bed knowing how special you are.

Today was a hard day for you and I, you woke up cranky and Mommy was beyond exhausted but we stuck out the day. We danced, coloured, sang and went through some flash cards. When Daddy came home he gave you a bath after dinner like he does every night then he put you to bed. For whatever reason you were wide awake and chatting up a storm from your crib. Normally you fall asleep after 10 minutes or so but that was not the case tonight. I ended up taking you from your crib and rocking you as I sang our songs. Then you gave me the greatest gift of all, you fell asleep in my arms. Thank you sweet boy for being Mommy's baby for one more night. I love you to the moon and back.

Happy Easter!

Easter 2012

Hi everyone! Gus is growing so quickly that it is hard to keep up with him. He loves running and dancing but most of all he loves to laugh. He has such a great sense of humour it's so hard to be down when he's around. I am so amazed by how fast my little baby boy is maturing. In just a few weeks he will be a big brother and I can't wait to see how he will be with Peanut.Click to follow Peanut's Blog!

A few weeks ago we all were sick with a bug. One of those days I was constantly with my head in the toilet. Gus was home with me and he was such a gentle angel, he started rubbing my back and hugging me as I knelt down on the bathroom floor. He is my little hero. I am so proud of who he is becoming, I just feel so blessed to have him in my life.

As excited as I am to deliver peanut, I am so anxious about leaving Angus. I have never been away from him for more than one night. As I rock him to sleep, which is as often as he will let me, I start to soak in as much of him as I can. I know that after my c-section, I won't be able to pick up and rock my 30lbs little boy for awhile. It makes me cry every time I think of it. I don't want him to feel left out or unwanted. I miss him already.

Well Gus I want you to know that Mommy loves you no matter what and I am so proud of you. Having a sibling is the greatest gift I can give you. You will always have someone to play with, someone to laugh with and most of all you will have one more person who will love you forever. I am thankful everyday for my big brother and I can't wait for you to enjoy this new relationship. Sweet dreams my sweet pea. (Click to watch AJ's dancing debut)
