Today I got such a sweet email.
Just when I thought I couldn't fall deeper in love with Ryan, he does it again...
He set up an email account with our baby's name and emailed me :)
Sounds weird to you?! Not me :)
I teared up. I know we are in this together, but sometimes I feel like I'm the pregnant one and he is just my support- he does EVERYTHING for me but this pregnancy is mine...I'm dealing with it. But really...that's a small minut detail. We are dealing with this together. We are REALLY in this together.
Each and every day, I feel the bond between our daughter and Ryan build. It seems automatic for me to have a bond since I have felt all the pregnancy symptoms in the beginning to now feeling her wiggle and dance around...my love for her was automatic.
For Ryan, it's a different experience I am sure. He had to see all the "pain" I was going through with every change of week/month, witness me get frustrated cause my clothes gradually didn't fit & dealing with the inevitable weight gain, rub my belly and back every night because my skin and muscles were trying to compensate, deal with my emotional rants, and much much more! He couldn't share in the joy of feeling her wiggle around until weeks after I felt it. So the bonding was different but nonetheless it has gradually happened.
I have seen his eyes fill with love every time he sees me-big belly & all, his eyes tear up as he talks about how much he will LOVE our daughter, and his embrace has been so much more of what I've needed.
He even whispers little secrets to her...sings funny songs to her...and massages her little body as much as he can feel. All of this makes my heart sink. His journey that I've seen has really grown...

It touched my heart and reminded me of this Google Chrome commercial that we watched together last year before we even were pregnant.
It's worth a watch & will probably make you tear up :)
The love between a father (an amazing father) & his daughter is a bond I can't imagine...and I can't wait to witness between my love & my other love.
Our little baby-- When you can read and understand, we can't wait to give you this gift that this father gave to his daughter. We love you!
OMFG!! Adorable!!!!!!!
