Here we are, four years later, and we're still three- Mommy, Mr. M, and J-Birdie.
That fact should make me sad, but it makes me ridiculously happy. My boys are the center of my life- my heart waltzing around outside of my body. J has been many things- Shrimp, J-Dog, and J-Birdie... but he will always be my baby. J will grow, and change, and one day be a man- my man-baby. Heaven help any partner that he chooses...I may not be so kind!
The baby that made me strong, and willing to change my life. The baby that made me even stronger through his numerous health issues- I know more about kidneys, ear tags, hip dysplasia, air ways, and the deaf community than I ever though possible. When I learned he had 99% hearing loss, I was ready to communicate forever through sign. I was ready to do anything to ensure his health and happiness...thankfully, through a lot of changes in the home, and several surgeries, he's a fully hearing kiddo (97% according to his last screens- I'll take it).
Tonight, I am grateful. I have been blessed with a child that is my mini-me- which at times, to be honest, really sucks. Stubborn as all get out, but then again, it's karma. A sweet, kind, boy- when given his birthday presents tonight responded with "Thank you mama, for making my birthday special".
As my heart continues to live outside of my body in M and J, I am just so fulfilled. I love you, my babies, and I always will.
