Jack-Center of Gravity

I have so much to say about my little man, I can’t even find a starting point.
He was a surprise…I took a pregnancy test thinking it was a slim possibility. After I waited for the results, I was so heartbroken to see that I wasn’t pregnant. It was only later that day that I noticed the second line showed up…out of nowhere! I was sure that I would never be pregnant again and that Katie would be an only child. That is my little man…he can bring a smile from a place I never knew existed.
I can describe him as my “Center of Gravity”. Jack has the amazing ability to keep me from my state of worry with an incredible force of nature. For example, I worried about Katie for months and months while she slept. I would creep in with a small book light to make sure she was ok. I would place my hand every so lightly on her back just to see that she was breathing. With Jack….I can hear him snore over the monitor. I sleep with an amazing amount of comfort to his snores.
He made me so sick during the pregnancy. I think that he did that to keep my mind off of the “what ifs” that always seem to plague me with Katie.
Jack was a little turkey while I was pregnant with him. The doctors thought he was in a great amount of danger and they gave him to me early. I always felt we were both going to be fine. He was born amazingly healthy.
He is a clone of his Daddy….Jack is always in a good mood and is just a jolly soul. He is silly and has a laugh that makes you laugh every time. The only time when Jack taking after Matthew caused problems was when he had heartburn for weeks that went undiagnosed. Jack was in so much pain he cried endlessly. The doctor kept telling us it was colic and that colic babies were smarter later in life. I was desperate and tried everything I could think of to help. One night I noticed that you could hear the sound of Jack’s heartburn….and it dawned on me heartburn may be the problem. Once diagnosed and on medicine, Happy Jack was here to stay!
He loves Katie so much and is delighted by the very sight of her. He laughs hysterically at her and just lights up the room when he sees her.
My little man is so cuddly! He loves to cuddle with Momma and loves to be held. He has been able to hug for a while and sometimes, he clings to me as if he wants to be one with me.

Maybe it's intuition
But some things you just don't question
Like in your eyes
I see my future in an instant
And there it goes
I think I've found my best friends
I know that it might sound more than a little crazy
But I believe

I knew I loved you before I met you
I think I dreamed you into life
I knew I loved you before I met you
I have been waiting all my life

There's just no rhyme or reason
Only this sense of completion
And in your eyes
I see the missing pieces
I'm searching for
I think I've found my best friend

I know that it might sound more than a little crazy
But I believe

I knew I loved you before I met you
I think I dreamed you into life
I knew I loved you before I met you
I have been waiting all my life

A thousand angels dance around you
I am complete now that I've found you

I knew I loved you before I met you
I think I dreamed you into life
I knew I loved you before I met you
I have been waiting all my life
