We just celebrated Kieran's 2nd birthday this past weekend. What? I can still remember the day he arrived. I was 6cm at my doctor's appointment on June 18th, 2010. I was shocked. 6cm? I felt nothing. I told the doctor I needed to head to the hospital stat! She called over and they wanted me to come in at 4pm. It was 1030am. I headed home in disbelief, a little frightened that I was so far along and hadn't felt a cramp. I began walking and walking for the next few hours until finally the tiniest of cramps began to start. I called the doctor again and asked if I could come to the hospital as I did not want to lose my opportunity for an epidural! We headed over about 230pm and I sat at 8cm for awhile. Kerry and I watched a movie to pass the time and I was chatting on facebook with friends as I labored, or not really. This pregnancy was crazy to me! When the nurse asked my pain level before the epi, I had to fib. I really didn't have any and I possibly could have birthed him without any drugs, but in all honesty did not want to experience that. I got my drugs and they broke my water and an hour later he was ready to go. Its so crazy to think I labored for 4.5 hours with both boys and delivered both in 20 minutes. I felt pain with Caleb and none with Kieran. I was so lucky to have such a great experience and thankful to have such healthy boys.
Turning 2 also meant that the Binky Fairy would be stopping by. Now, this I was frightened about. Kieran had developed an attachment to the binky far more than Caleb had so I was hoping this would not be a nightmare. I talked to him the week prior to let him know she was coming and he probably didn't understand, but at least I was warning him. She came and left behind a Cars quad which he was delighted to see in the morning, however once he heard the power button he ran away scared. Here we are a few weeks later and he has yet to jump on and ride, so Caleb has been taking advantage. Oh well. The beauty and blessing of the Binky Fairy, is that Kieran handled it extremely well! We were shocked! He dropped it cold turkey with a few whines and cries, but that was it. Amen.
He is my little man, yet still feels like my little baby in a way. Kieran is very much a momma's boy. He is talking up a storm and plays so nicely with his brother. Despite the 33 month age difference, they can be the best of buds and the worst of enemies. Normal for siblings. He copies everything Caleb does which is not always a good thing. He loves to swing like a monkey on anything he can find and he recently took to the splash pad. He loves to be a swimming baby in the pool, yet lay down a relax and sunbathe on a big chair with momma. He can be a complete nightmare, yet an adorable love in my life. He is a hitter and a biter, his young defenses are up which I have to curb somehow. He is my work in progress. No matter how much grief he causes me, I love him to pieces and so very thankful he is healthy. I could not ask for anything more.
