Colt's {Special} Story

As I am sure every one knows by now, each of my littlest has their own special story.

I always want all three of them to know how much they are loved.

How much their Daddy and I wanted them

How hard we prayed for them.

I try to tell them often  a "story" about they each became our babies.

Of how special they are. 

This morning after Colt's bath I was holding him,all wrapped up in his towel rocking him in his room. He just smelt so sweet. Like a baby. I had all these flashes of how many times I rocked him when he was so tiny that he got lost in my arms.  The millions of times I offered up thanks to our heavenly father and prayed to be the best mother I could be to my beautiful little miracle.

Every since Colt was born, starting in the hospital, I tell him "Coltie's Special Story".

It change's a little with each telling. But it always goes something like this.....

"Every since Mommy was a very little girl, she wanted a lot and lot of babies. Specialy a sweet baby boy named Coltie. God was so good to give Mommy Sara and Mommy loves her so much.

But........

Something was missing. Mommy's little boy never came. You see Mommy's tummy got broke and her baby boy could not grow in there. 

Sooo... Mommy prayed and prayed. Mommy asked God to please some how bring her her Coltie. 

Then one day Mommy met a beautiful, amazing lady named Sandra. Sandy let God put Coltie in her tummy to grow. Coltie got bigger and bigger and so did Sandy's tummy . It was so funny. 

Some times Colt would kick so hard that Sandy's tummy would jiggle. Mommy loved touching Sandy's tummy and Coltie would kick Mommy's hand so very hard

 {he always giggles here}. 

One day Coltie grew to big for Sandy's tummy so we went to the hospital and the doctor took Coltie out. 

We where so happy to see you, Coltie. 

Your Mommy and Your Sandra cried such happy tears.

Your Daddy was so proud of his beautiful son. 
Everyone loved you so very much and came to see you. 
Everyone praised Jesus for you.
 Our beautiful perfect Colt.

And now my baby Coltie is such a big boy and we love you more and more everyday.

Thank you Jesus for our Coltie"

This morning after his story he looked up at me and said " WOW Mommy... I love "my" Sandra {he always calls her that} AND I loooooove you Mommy".

As you can imagine, the tears came streaming down my face. My heart swelled with so much love, joy and thankfulness that I thought it would burst. 

There is not a day that goes by that I do not feel so humbled, that God chose to bring Sandy and us together. That Sandy chose us to be Colt's forever family. That she in trusted me  of all people to be Colt's forever Mommy. 

I am also thankful that God chose Sandy to be Colt's first mom.  She is a part of me now. 

Her and her boys are very important parts of our family and always will be.

 And I love that Colt loves "his" Sandy.

Delight yourself in the LORD and he will give you the desires of your heart.
