I am very thankful for many things in my life, but I think that I am most thankful for having married a wonderful, caring, amazing man. Now don't get me wrong, there are times I want to rip his head off and throw it out the window, but every since Lilly has been born I have watched this man, my husband, develop into a FATHER! Of course it didn't happen all at once and we both still have things to work on as parents, but I think we are going to be o.k.
Bobby was so funny the day Lilly was born! If you know Bobby at all you know how weirded out he is with hospitals and needles so I think that he was more nervous about labor and delivery than I was, but after all was said and done he never wavered. Well, he did have to leave the room for the IV and epidural, but he was definitely my rock through the whole process and he was an amazing partner! That moment that Lilly was born was a priceless treasure and the proud look on hes face is something I will never forget!!
There were many times in my first few weeks of motherhood that I thought I was loosing my mind, that I thought "I can't do this," that I just needed a break and he was there to take her off my hands so that I could take a walk or run out for ice cream. He hates changing dirty diapers, but he does it with much nagging on my part. He can always get a smile out of her. He introduced her to cartoons on Saturday morning. He also introduced her to "peek-a-boo" and she can't get enough!
When I started back to work we had a bit of an issue wondering what our mornings were going to be like. I didn't want to get up at 4:00 a.m. to get myself ready, her ready, make lunches, pack bags, and so forth so I knew Bobby was going to have to get up to help me. I like to think of it as "Lilly and Daddy time!" Every morning at 5:00 a.m. I go to Lilly's room and wake her up. I get her dressed (while she screams) and bring her to her daddy(still screaming.) They lay in bed and she eats. Then she coos and spits until he gets her back to sleep! They are so cute laying there asleep every morning and I almost hate to wake her to go to school when it's time to leave!!
Bobby and I have been married for 4 1/2 years and I consider myself extremely lucky to have found the love of my life who is shaping up to be a pretty awesome daddy! I can't wait to see what the next few years have in store for us as a married couple and as parents.
I love you Bobby and I promise to give you and Lilly my best:)!
