If he's anything like me....

Maddox is 3 months old today! WOW! What a 3 months it has been, and as crazy as it sounds, it's been a wonderful 3 months. I remember thinking through the first few days that if Maddox was going to die, I'd rather it happen sooner than later. I didn't want to get attached to this little guy and then have to let him go. Selfish. I am so incredibly grateful for Maddox and I am grateful for each minute of each day that I have with him. He has been a blessing in a million ways, and our family is truly better with him in it.

I first heard this song one day as I was driving to Primary's to be with Maddox. I cried. All through my pregnancy I joked that this little boy would give me hell his whole life, after all, I was sicker than I had been with Bailee. I was wrong. Because Luke was such a sweet little boy I kept saying I hoped he was just like his daddy. Maddox is such a sweet and happy baby, but I never imagined he'd start his life off so much like his daddy. Mom B. found these pictures the other day and showed them to me. It was crazy to see Luke as a baby looking so much like Maddox.

I wish I had pictures of Maddox's angels. That's the only way to describe the nurses and dr.'s at PCMC. Miracles happen there every minute, and it's in large part to the incredible people that work there. I truly believe that they are guided step by step by God.

I am so looking forward to the years ahead and watching Maddox following in many of his daddy's footsteps. If he's anything like Luke, he will be amazing.
