Abbott was born January 22, 2007 after 14 hours of labor and only 20 minutes of pushing. He arrived 3 weeks early weighing in at 9 lbs. 5 oz. Doctors said that he would have weighed 11-12 lbs. had I gone full term so thank the good Lord that I went into labor early!!!
He came into the picture in circumstances that left a little, well actually a lot, to be desired. The father of my 2 children and I had just split up for good and about 2 weeks later I found out that I was expecting our second child. It only got worse from there although having Abbott in the midst of all that was the silver lining.
What can I say about him? At 18 months, he is a spit fire and will for sure give Cameron a run for his money some day. Cameron antagonizes him to no end but Abbott can hold his own. I am sure that he will be the brute of my 2 sons and will pay Cameron back for every bit of misery that he causes him. He already tries his best.
Cameron was only 21 months when Abbott came along and I remember my parents bringing Cameron to the hospital and he was so interested in that little bundle. I don't think he truly understood at that age but he was a trooper. Now, even though they fight like cats and dogs, they are inseparable. If at any point one is without the other, the are not quite the same.
Abbott has brought so much joy to me and is a great addition to our little family.
