On this day, two years ago, I woke up at the crack of down and grabbed my bags. We headed to the hospital in a quiet understanding that Jaron was scheduled to come out of my belly and into the world at 8:30am. Unlike Karis, there was no "unknown". We weren't rushed into an emergency c-section. We had been planning for the birth for months now and two years ago today was the day we knew we would be meeting our little baby boy, Jaron.
I am not going to lie. I was not very excited to hear that I was expecting Jaron. I thought his life would mean more stress, more physical strain, and more suffering...but when I think back to those feelings I think of how naive I was and how life WITHOUT this child would not be what it is today. I am so blessed to have Mr. Jabroni in my life and I know that God knew what he was doing when we found out we were expecting him with Karis only being 6 months old at the time. Looking back at all these old photos reminds me of a soft whisper of grace that I remember while praying about how much I wasn't ready and necessarily expecting him...that God was in control. That he's bigger than any of the worst things that could happen in my life and that everything comes with reason and with love. Jaron embodies all of that. I could not imagine life without him and would never wish anything different.
Happy Birthday to God's gift to our family--Jaron! We love you and your half-moon eyes that get you out of trouble every time you should be in time-out paying your dues. Your shrieky cackle of a laugh and funny ways in which you devour your food (while trying to keep your hands clean, "MESSYYYYY") remind us that there's so much to smile about. Even though you like to hit other kids, and sometimes you don't ...no wait...you NEVER share your toys, we are so happy you are alive!
And now...something I like to do with my kids to remind myself how amazing they are...a photo montage! :)
My little 6 lb 4 oz peanut. And they thought my Gestational Diabetes would bring out a 10 lb baby. Wrong.
Wrapped like a mummy, he had the most perfect shaped head (thanks to c-section). :)
Whoa. Milk does a body good. One of his many double chin photos.
The torture that goes on in our house. You deal with it well! Kind of.
Running around at grandma's house. what you do best.
How is this child so perfect? haha. I love this photo. His skin is so beautiful!
Sleeping photos, the best.
You will thank me when you're older?
Almost exactly one year ago, Karis was Wonder Woman and you were Yoda. :)
