My Sweet December Baby
Dear Bodhi,
I want to share a little about your story, it's a sweet one. You came into this world 10 days early on a cold December day. Once I realized it was time for you to make your appearance your daddy excitedly hopped up out of bed and got us ready to go. Cousin Courtney came to the rescue to tend to your crazy lovable brothers. We were out the door by seven. Everything was perfectly aligned and your timing was impeccable. Everything went smoothly at the hospital and by 12:10 PM you practically flew out with two pushes from your momma. The hospital room felt similar to a vacation considering the noise level was about a 1. Until of course your brothers came to meet you, then the noise level went up to at least an 8. After a night in the hospital we were ready to get home to start our journey as a family of 5 plus a Betsy dog. I will never forget looking back as we left the hospital and then sitting in the car and getting a good cry out. You are my last baby boy and that was hard to swallow. Although my decision won't sway, it's a bittersweet one. This December has by far been my favorite that ever was! Our favorite Christmas! I think I hit a record on how many christmas movies I watched. You are the snuggliest of monsters! You are a mix of your adorable brothers! You are the perfect amount of chaos that we need! My days will seem longer with three(they already do), I will lose my patience often I'm sure, I will need to brush up on my routines and organization skills, and I will need to make a conscience effort to snuggle all my monsters. I didn't assume the transition to three would be a walk in the park, but I am certainly up for the challenge. Our hearts are the fullest they have ever been. I am once again madly in love with another beautiful boy.
Love,
your devoted mother
You are my MERRY

Welcome Merry Christmas our favorite time of year,
full of joy and laughter, friendship, and good cheer.
It's the season of wonder and fun make-believe
And for dreaming of ways we will give and receive
But I already know what you are to me.
My best gift of all is not under the tree.
You are my silly when we play in the snow,
making angels with wings and snowballs to throw
You are my sweet when we make yummy treats,
like cookies with sprinkles and gingerbread eats.
You are my cozy web we snuggle at night,
with marshmallow cocoa by warm firelight
And you are my jolly when we visit the mall,
to tell Santa the toy you'd like most of all.
"Will you tell him," you ask,
"I/ve been helpful to you, though some daysI know I do what I do?"
Yes, you are my joy, all year throughout,
my kiss and my cuddle without any doubt.
You are my thankful when we make time to share
goodness with others to show how we care.
And you are my sparkle when together we go
see neighborhood lights or your holiday show.
You're my glee and giggle with friends far and near,
making memories to fill us with laughter all year.
You're my love and my joy a gift I'll always carry
through Christmas and forever
YOU ARE MY MERRY!
