I am very excited that this is Josh's first fathers day and that he get's to celebrate it with his son!!!! It's only been a little over a week that we have had our beautiful boy, but it has been awesome to see father and son interact. Josh has been so amazing since the beginning. Most of you already know the story of how we found out we were pregnant but I'll tell it again. I had left work because I wasn't feeling well and it was coming up on that time of the month. I had a pregnancy test already in the house so I decided to take it just so I knew that I wasn't pregnant and I could stop thinking about it till next month. Turns out there was two lines but the one was really light so I didn't want to get my hopes up. I walk the test to josh who was laying on his bed and said "I don't know if this is right but I think there are two lines." So josh did what he does best. He looked online to see what a light line meant. Two more pregnancy test later we were convinced. He came to every doctors appointment with me. He signed us up on Babycenter.com before I could. He made sure I was drinking water and taking my prenatal. He cleaned up the lasagna I puked up in our kitchen sink. He has been so good to me and to the baby from the beginning. I am so grateful for him and all that he has done.
Now, fast forward a few months and it is getting down to the wire. He is still taking great care of me and the baby. He was so calm the entire pregnancy. When I would get nervous or panicky about something, he would always calm me down with reassuring words or a joke. Then the big day came and he was amazing. I hadn't packed the diaper bag or our bad to the hospital, so once they said we needed to come in because my water broke it was a little crazy. Josh did a great job putting together everything we needed for the baby and got the car seat installed in record time.
He never left my side. He was so tired but he held my hand through every contraction. He told me that I COULD do this and that I was doing great. Most of you know that I thought he was lying to me, but it was nice to hear. He was so strong for me. And the emotion that he felt over whelmed me with happiness. Once the baby was born, there was so many emotions in the air and the look on josh's face was so beautiful. He was a proud father of a baby boy.
Now they get to spend good quality time together. Josh will get up with me in the night to burp and change him and that's a huge help. I like to watch them as they make funny faces at each other. I look forward to they day when the Mets are on TV and they can watch the game together (hopefully the mets will win)
All this being said, I wanted to wish my amazing husband "happy first fathers day". You are already an awesome father and I look forward to continuing this journey with you. Thank you for being who you are and serving the Lord. You are an inspiration to me. I love you!
