A Tribute to Daddy

Dear Jessica,


You have the best daddy that a girl could ask for. Except for my daddy of course (your grandpa). I hope you appreciate him, eventhough I'm sure he will embarrass you numerous times in your life...I know he embarrasses me quite often. But that is just something else to love about him.


Daddy has loved you so much even before you arrived. He took such good care of mommy while you were in her tummy. Mommy was never really sick with you in her tummy but there were lots of little bumps in the road and daddy stood by mommy through all of them. Some were really scary (like in the beginning) and daddy tried to be the strong one when he was really nervous just like mommy. He cooked dinner for mommy once or twice, he cleaned the house, did the laundry, and did lots of stuff to keep mommy happy. I never had any cravings but I am sure if I did, he would have run to the store for me. He even rubbed my back the two times I got sick during the pregnancy. Not only did daddy take care of me while you were in my tummy but he has been taking care of mommy since the day we got married (which was formerly the happiest day in our lives - it is still up there but now has to share it with the day you were born).

Daddy was very nervous and worried about becoming a daddy when you entered the world but he told me that he loved the special time he spent with you in the nursery while I was getting into my new hospital room. It was the first time you spent time with him alone. Daddy has been doing a great job taking care of his girls. I do not tell him this enough.

If you could see the way he lights up when he sees you when he gets home from work. It is wonderful. I still get a kiss of course...and I would rather see him going crazy over our princess. Our little miracle.

Daddy has gotten a hang of being a daddy. He even changes your poopy diapers without any problems (he gagged a few times in the beginning). I hope that you are a Daddy's Girl when you get older. I hope that he is your hero and that you have as special a bond with daddy that I have with your grandpa.

We are lucky girls.

Love,
Mommy

P.S. I would love to post some pics of Jessica and her daddy...but you know the drill damn internet.
