The differences of sons.
Liam and Roman
Where to start?
Liam was immediately a great sleeper, Roman wasn't. AT ALL.
It took him about a month to even sleep at least 3 hours,
then, one night it was 4 then 5 then 7. OH MY!!! Sleep is
a beautiful thing isn't it? I almost forgot.
Liam is built like his daddy, short legs and stout and loves
being cuddled. His love language is physical touch. Roman has
long long legs like his mom and a tiny head, the opposite of Liam.
Liams head is huge. No wonder it took him a while to be able to
hold his head up lol. Roman has already started to hold his
tiny head up pretty well. We joke that Liam has the biggest
widest feet while Roman has the smallest feet ever. Almost
like a preemie.
One thing I noticed about Roman, is that even though he likes
being held, he seems to not like being touched. Almost like
an extra sensitivity to touch. Isn't there a diagnosis called
extra sensory something something? It is like everything is
exxagerated for him. I hope I am wrong. I would hate for him to
shy away from a comforting touch in his adult years. Surely it
would push others away. Don't want that. Everytime I rub his leg,
stomach, back or anything. He tenses up and just kinda grunts
like he just wants me to stop. Strange but it is him, so I will
love him anyway.
Liam was born on a odd icy snowy day in Dallas, Tx. And took about
2 days and 45 minutes of easy going laid back laughter filled "hard
labor". Yes, I am bragging, I can ya know. I squeezed a baby out
of a difficult region so there ya go lol. Roman on the other hand
had me thinking he would be here sooner than he was. I awoke one morning
and my water had broke, and 5 minutes later, my contractions were already
5 minutes apart. OUCHIE!!!! This was 7:45am. I had Roman at 4:54pm after
only 10 minutes of pushing, but this labor was super exhausting, moreso
than the first. Never understood why.
Liam is a natural born attention getter/seeker. I think Roman will be more
reserved and maybe even a little bit on the high strung side. We shall see.
So that is all for now, I will post more as they both grow into more of
their own identities. Such a blessing to think I had these boys, and so thankful
that my post partum has let up to allow me to bond with Roman, because the first
three weeks, I didn't want anything to do with him. Now I breathe him in every
time he is in my arms and thank God for him. I didn't have to be allowed to have
one even two children, so I am blessed beyond what I deserve. He is my "little
stinky butt" and Liam is my "big stinky butt". And I will love them always : )
