Happy Birthday Baby Brother

by This is Carrie on April 13, 2009

It’s funny to look back on how worried I was about what it would be like to have a baby boy. I was confident in my ability to raise daughters, but little boys? I was terrified. But this little guy has stolen my heart like the girls never could. And it’s looking like I’ll do […]
