{Winter's Birth} During Winter's birth, Joell was there every step of the way. From my first contractions where he held my hand at the zoo and told me, "Don't worry mommy... you won't be alone. Me and Carmelo and Daddy and going to stay with you the whole time while you have your baby, so don't be worried." (I could cry), to him kneeling down next to me and rubbing my back during a contraction in the kitchen, to being there through each moment once Winter was Earthside. He loved his little sister from the moment he saw her on the Ultrasound screen and he hasn't left her side since he's met her.
Here, my oldest son (age 6) Joell helps the midwives with the newborn exam. He measures Winter who was 22inches at birth. The power of a brother's love is indescribable.
Carmelo, my middle baby (age 3) adore his sister also... but I tend to see his relationship with her more as friends- he looks forward to playing with her and confiding in her as an equal. He keeps asking if he can bring her to school with him so he can introduce her to his friends and teach her how to play with them. Joell is the protector of them all. And of course, Joe and I are the roof over our children's head. They are always safe and always loved. We are now a family of 5 and I can't believe the love I feel in my heart.
