It has been such a blessing having Cole as my son. I have been asked several times if it was different raising a son after two daughters. I've always answered with, "no. A baby is a baby ". But the last couple weeks I've really begun to notice a change in my perspective. I don't know if it is because I'm home more with the kids, or if there really is a difference, but there's something there. There is just something about holding my little boy and knowing that before I know it he's going to grow into a man. The idea of this tiny little Mama's boy (he really is!) growing into a man is such a humbling feeling. Yes, my girls are precious and one day they will grow into beautiful (headstrong and opinionated) women, but there is just something different. My mother-in-law put it best, "a boy will always love their mom."
I just feel so blessed to have the family that I do. I am so thankful that we are a family of five. We are complete.
