Maddox was born on June 20 2011. I was scared, excited, and happy that my family was growing. Kaden had no clue that he was about to have his life flipped upside down. Going from having one child to two was something that I was extremely stressed out about. I didn't know if it was possible to love another little baby was much as I loved Kaden.Weeks before Maddox was born Kaden began to hit and be aggressive towards me. My mom said that he could sense something was about to happen. The day I went into the hospital was super emotional for me. It was Fathers day and Sunday the worst day for Kaden at the time because he hated church. The morning started out with crying and tantrums because Sunday clothes were out and Kaden was not having it. Once we finally made it to church he was ok but, unfortunately the drive home was unpleasant. Screaming and crying like nothing we had ever seen. Kaden smacked my face, pulled my hair all while I was trying to calm him down. Being pregnant and about to POP at any minute I had NO patience. I gave him a pat on the face at the last resort to stop the tantrum. I felt horriable, mad, sad, disappointed. I always said I would never resort to that but NEVER say NEVER! Christian was just as close to doing the same thing however I actually did it. I think we were both shocked. Once we got home he ate lunch, took and nap was in a better mood. 4pm came and I started having contractions. They were strong and consistent. At first I was excited but then I began to panic. I had a bad situation with Kaden that day and now I was going to have a baby and make things worse for him. None the less I was off to the hospital. I was finally admitted at 8pm with contractions 2 min apart. We waited until 12:45 to get drugs and my water broken due to three emergency c secs. I fell asleep as my mom, Christian and my friend Angela all ate tacos right in front of me. About 5am Christian woke me and said he didn't hear the baby heart monitor anymore. I informed him it was ok they just silenced it once everyone was sleeping. I thought it was so cute to see him so concerned.The nurse came in shortly after that and asked if I felt pressure. Sure enough I did and I was ready to push. Maddox was out twenty minutes after the nurse came in. It was such a fast and easy delivery. 6lbs 10oz and 19in. His sweet spirit and personality is amazing. Kaden came to visit in the hospital and wasn't very interested but he was very happy about his present his baby bro got him.
So now that Maddox has been home it has been wonderful. It was an adjustment from one to two but I wouldn't have it any other way. Kaden took a while letting other people like my mom and christian get him things. He wanted mommy to get everything and anything for him. Maddox loves having a big bro to watch and keep him entertained. Kaden loves helping give Maddox his binkie and talking to him when he is upset. Maddox is very needy much like his brother. He is very loud and expressive and a perfect fit in our family. I am so grateful for my two beautiful boys and handsome husband.
