My beautiful son Brent...

I have realized that I have never really talked about Brent, my son and our first born.

Brent was born on July 24, 2009. He weighed an even 8 lbs and was 21 1/2 inches long. He was born a true emergency c-section style, they knocked me right out. Main reason for all of that is his heart rate kept going down, and he just wasn't going to fit. I only pushed 3 times and then I was rushed into OR. Brent was born on his exact due date. I think its estimated only 7% of babies are born on their due dates.

Brent was my little chunky monkey. He had a triple chin and wow did that baby love to eat. I nursed him full time till 6 months and then part time till 9 months. I can truly say I am that weird Mom that loved nursing. That bond and the easiness of nursing is something I would never take back.

But since day one Brent has been my right hand man. He has always been a mommas boy, and still 3 years later he is still. He slept on me from the get go and we still have issues of him sleeping in our bed. He is one of the most cuddly kids I know. He loves to snuggle in bed with Mom and Dad on weekends. He loves his Papa (Carls Dad) so so much, they are little BFF's. Of course he loves Mas (Carls Mom) and my mom Nana. He can brighten anybody’s day up, with just a hug and a smile. Also he was such a morning kid, its crazy sometimes. As long as he isn't going to school ( a new issue) he is all smiles the second he wakes up.

I don't know were I would be without Brent. Brent is seriously my strength in life. I wouldn't have survived these last 6 months if it wasn't for him. He is my little best friend, and he knows more about me then honestly anyone does. He sees me cry almost everyday, and he's always by my side when were going through Addison's memory box that holds her blanket and pictures. He knows exactly who Addison is and knows he has a sister in heaven.

I sometimes believe Brent was given to me first for a purpose. When my arms are feeling empty because I don't have Addison, Brent is there to fill them. Brent is always there when I need him the most and I feel so blessed I have him. I would not change Brent for the world and I hope he knows how much I really love him...
