Mommy Loves Daddy

I have come to the conclusion that Adam is going to be an excellent father. I was thinking about him today as he is hard at work so that he can provide for me and our baby and I realized that I just don't take note enough of all the things he does. So, I have decided to write this post in his honour.
We are both so new at this (obviously), but Adam has taken on his roll as father with more grace than I ever could have thought possible. He has stepped up to what seems like a daunting plate with not only a positive attitude, but also a gentle strength and confidence that has carried me through the tougher times. He is unrelenting in his encouragement and even when he expresses the deepest doubts and fears of his heart he does so with the mind that he will overcome and be better than he is now. He has been a solid friend and partner to me as we travel this journey together and I thank God for him daily. In the short time we have known about our little one I have seen him grow into such an amazing daddy. It may sound odd since baby is the size of an onion and neatly tucked away inside of me, but even at this time that must be hard for him, a time when his child seems so out of reach of his contact, he has made every effort to love them. Whether its making an extra effort to care for and love me as best as he can or talking to my tummy every day, sharing secrets for just him and baby to know, or telling them all about how excited he is to teach them about hockey in spite of how silly it may feel to be communicating with what seems like only a belly button. I cannot wait for him to be able to interact with our little one. His kind heart, strong hands, spirit of fun and tendency to be a bit of a no-it-all are all qualities that will have our baby thinking he is a super hero, just as every child should feel about their dad when they are little. I don't know what moment most moms look forward to most when they imagine the day of their baby's birth but for me it is the moment when I can hand him/her to their daddy and see him hold his baby for the first time. That is a moment I know I will cherish as much as being able to hold them myself. I know that neither of us are perfect and that we will both make mistakes when it comes to how we raise our child, but of all the people I would want to stumble through this life changing experience with I am just so thankful that I was given Adam. He truly is an amazing man that I am proud to be with.
