Jessica Marotta, a beautiful redhead from Massachusetts, has been asking if they will have a family for years. Jessica has had a problem with infertility in the past, so she was careful not to raise Mikey’s expectations too much. After a miscarriage in early 2017, the family almost accepted the fact that they would not be able to have another child.
Jessica told POPSUGAR, “We just told her when it was time. After a few years of answering questions, she relied on the words “one day, friend.” After talking with her husband one night, Jessica realized that she could have a happy family of three.
But all that changed in the summer of 2017, when Jessica found out she was expecting her second child. Apart from the fact that she and her husband were shocked and very happy about the news, no one was happier than their son Mikey.
Jessica recalls, “He was so happy to finally find his little brother. He couldn’t wait for him to come and he would tell me everything about the things he planned to do with him. When we went to the store to buy a toy, he would pick two things and say, ‘This is for me and this is for my little brother. ‘
”
However, the Marotta family will have to wait longer than it was intended to bring their mass happiness home. Baby Jake has been diagnosed with intrauterine growth retardation, a rare condition in which the baby does not reach normal weight during pregnancy and should be delivered with an emergency C-section.
Mikey was not allowed to hold his younger brother until he was 11 days old since Jake gave birth prematurely. Mikey, on the other hand, was very happy even though he was late, especially as Jake shared his red hair. “he was happy, but I think he was scared,” Jessica added. “He was giggling all the time.”
Happily, Jake finally had enough energy to get out of his incubator and reunite with his big fan after a tough 60 days at NICU. The moment Mikey got to catch Jake for the first time was caught by Jessica, and it was very serious.
“Every morning, they hug, and Mikey likes to hold Jake,” added Jessica. “One of the things they love about doing together is relaxing on Jake’s work mat.”
“Mikey knew the importance of the baby’s skin contact because we talked about how he and I treated him as a child,” Jessica explains. When they unzip the Mikey shirt and place his little sister on his naked body, his eyelids bulge and close and he looks like an incomplete pleasure.
“He was worried and scared,” Jessica added. “he was always laughing – it was so funny,” Jessica added. “I really believe they will be close for the rest of their lives.” “I feel like Mikey knew this little brother was coming all the time – it was just time.”
