So. Child number one.
Brock.
He was at his baby shower. Like he was born two days before it. He was 4 weeks early. And the longest pregnancy I had.
Brock didn't talk until he was about 3 and a half. Now he tells us that was because he was too busy listening. ha.ha.
He was never "Mr. Social". He was more 'Mr. Awkward'. He preferred to hang out with the adults in Elementary school, insteadUnknownnoreply@blogger.com0
