this is us, this is our team

 

on the way home from the hospital with our second little miracle, a girl, a sweet little unexpectedly brown girl ~ brad turns to me and says "this is us... this is our team". i hold back my tears. because that's what new moms do.  new moms to one or two or five kids.  i laugh instead.  i laugh because its funny and sweet and kind of sad at the same time. 

 

 this is us, this is our team

 

i had wanted a little girl my whole life, and now i had one.  to me a princess. to me an angel.  to me the sweetest girl in the world.

 

I had a boy first. to me the sweetest boy in the world.  to me he is amazing. he makes me happy and young.  when his sister first arrived (new to the team),  i needed him. needed him more than he needed me.  he kept me busy he kept me laughing. he kept the new mom tears at bay.  for that i appreciated him more than ever.

 

 

we are now heading into five months of this new team.  its a team im proud of. its my biggest and best accomplishment.  of course it couldn't be done without my better half.  a boy turned husband turned dad. he's an amazing dad. hes only getting better.  he has a baby girl that he's still getting to know.  he has a boy that loves him with his whole heart.  just two dudes, its what they say when they are headed outside or on a trip. 

 

just two dudes couldn't be any cuter. just two dudes that mean the world to me. 

 

I feel more in touch. more excited.  more fulfilled as a person.  i love this little family.

 

this is the start of something beautiful, this is the start of something new.
