Marc

In 1994/1995 such big changes happened in my life! That September I had started my senior year at NYU and on November 5th 1994, my Mom gave birth to my little brother Marc Anthony

He was the light of my life. I took care of him like he was my own. At that point in my life I never thought I was going to get married or have kids, so to me he was my baby! No he is 13 years old and so tall! My little baby boy is a teenager and it blows my mind. He's such a good uncle and my kids adore him. And I still adore him as much as when he was my little baby boy!

This was taken when he was a newborn. I would run home from school and pic him up as soon as I got home!

This pic was taken 3 years ago at a Mets game (July 17th- a week before I found out I was having my 1st little boy!)

This Wordless Wednesday is dedicated to all the Mom's I grew up with (My Mom, Grandma's and Aunties!)

Favorite Motherhood Moment

5 Minutes for Mom is holding a Favorite Motherhood Moment contest! So here is my favorite Motherhood Moment:


The day Julia met her brother for the first time! Look at the smile on her face :) The pure joy in that smile is my favorite moment as a mommy! She was so happy to become a big sister. It was all she talked about for the 9 months I carried her little brother! So it was pretty awesome when that moment finally came for her to meet little Joey for her first time.

Jr+no favorite blanket+Daddy working the graveyard shift= NO SLEEP!!! This weekend Joey started working as a doorman and of course his shift is the graveyard shift (12AM-8AM). That same weekend I had to wash Jr.'s favorite blanket and since we have no dryer it meant no blankie for Jr. that night. We have a substitute blanket but it's not the same as his favorite fluffly bear blankie that used to be Julia's! So not having his blanket or his Daddy to put him to sleep made for along night for me and Jr. He would not fall asleep and since he wasn't sleeping, Joshua decided to join the party. I thought I was going to go crazy from lack of sleep! The only good thing was that Jr. wasn't crying hysterically, he just wanted to play all night with his little brother. It had been a long weekend for me and I really just wanted to sleep. Thank goodness he has his blanket back! Even though he doesn't have Daddy to put him to bed he still went to sleep at a normal time with the return of his favorite blankie! Now this doesn't mean I'm getting any sleep because I can't sleep without Hubby home either...but at least I'm not chasing the boys around!
