shout out to my baby daddy

you never know when you fall in love that you have found a package deal.

i have to admit, like most women, i was nervous about what kind of mother i would make. and well to be honest... i also have to admit that i was nervous about what kind of father my husband would be...would he be hands on?
would he be ...loving?...patient?...helpful?...interested?



and somehow in a weeks time, my husband has shown me that he is all those things and more. i knew he was an emotional softy...but this little girl of ours has him wrapped around her finger, and i for one am so proud of her. he can't wait to hold her, talks to her like they have been old pals for years and years, he soothes her when she is screaming in his ear, he changed his first diaper...and MANY MANY more after that, he cleans bottles, does laundry, checks in on her while he is away, he brings home flowers for her, and has even thanked me for having her.

and i think addie knows it too...when he is near her, she calms down, she moves her face to find him, and made her first kissing noises at him. now, a hormonal mess of a new mom would be jealous, but i hope the bond between them just gets bigger and better - because a girl that looks up to her dad has a strong backbone and a solid heart...

i know from experience.

so thank you babe...addie is the best gift you could have given me...except for all that sleep you let me have last night...that was pretty awesome too.
