1st Father's Day

A letter to my wonderful husband, amazing father & best friend:

Happy Father's Day to one of the bestest daddy's I know...other than my own :)

Last Father's Day I was only 7 weeks pregnant & we hadn't told a soul. Oh how things have changed! This Father's Day you have a 5 month old son & couldn't be any more prouder of a daddy than you are now.

I always knew you’d be a good dad but little did I know how amazing of a daddy you truly would be. For so long I felt this tremendous amount of guilt & sorrow that because of me, you weren’t ever going to be a dad. Little did we know God's plans for us would take a little longer than we had expected & that we would be blessed with this precious miracle. Good things come to those who wait & wow, was he ever worth the wait!

On the day Mason was born, I remember that you couldn't stop smiling nor could you take your eyes off of him. You looked so proud holding his tiny little body in your arms.

 

 

 

You became a father that day & you've grown so much since then. I know deep down that you were nervous about the type of father you would be - whether you like to admit it or not - & I've loved every minute of watching you grow into that role & mold yourself into the type of parent I am lucky to have by my side.

 

Thank you for ALL that you do. Not only how hard you work at your job, but everything else you do for us. Motherhood would not be the same for me without your continued help. I am so very blessed to have a husband who pitches in so much with baby duty, managing the dogs daily feedings & outings, helping clean the house, do laundry, run errands, & most importantly, make sure my coffee is brewed before I am out the door for work :)

I just don’t know what to say other than “thank you” a million times over. Here we are, 5 months under our belts with a happy, healthy baby boy. The chaos of those first few months has calmed down & somewhere along the way, we have managed to fall into a nice routine. Your confidence in yourself as a dad has grown & that has been fun to see! There isn't anything in this world I enjoy more than watching you interact with your son, seeing him smile at you & touch your face ever so gently with those little hands. It just melts my heart.

On your first Father's Day, I just want to say how very proud I am of you. I am proud of the father that you've become & the wonderful husband you've been to me. There is no better view than seeing the world through an adoring father's eyes. You are truly my partner in parenthood & in marriage & I am so glad to have you by my side through this amazing journey!

Happy 1st Father's Day & looking forward to many, many more!

We love you,
Mommy & Mason
