A letter to my husband
Logan,
I still remember the day I handed you the positive pregnancy test.
How your eyes teared up and your whole demeanor instantly changed.
I remember the joy we both felt the next morning when I took another test and it was positive. How you jumped around with me in the bathroom at 6 in the morning.
We talked and talked and dreamed and dreamed about the little life that's going to come into our lives. We'd been waiting a while for this to happen.
I looked at the huge smile on your face when we found out it was a girl, and my heart filled with joy. You were so excited to have a daddy's girl and I loved it.
I have loved how excited you get when you feel her moving and kicking inside me.
I have loved your enthusiasm and excitement as you clap and rub your hands together in the way that you do when you simply cannot contain yourself...
I've had a relatively easy pregnancy and I can honestly say that a LOT of it has to do with you! You have been willing to do the dishes and chores around the house. You've offered to grocery shop for me when I really didn't feel like it. You've helped bring my vision together for the nursery and put up with my pickiness. You've given me countless back and foot massages without me even having to ask. Selfless. That's what you are.
You said the other night that looking back on that night we met in the hot tub, it's crazy that we are where we are now. You have a great career, we have a house, a dog, and a baby girl on the way!! It does seem so different than the early stages of our courtship, engagement, and marriage.
But babe, this is all SO much better. Better than I ever could have imagined! So much more full and rich. I am so happy with you in this life we've created!
I can honestly say that even though the biggest change will come when she is born, I have grown to love you so much more these past 35 weeks.
Thank you for being ever so willing to show me love, support, and patience.
Thank you for working so hard for this little family of ours.
I cannot wait to see how our love grows and deepens and how our relationship evolves in just about 35 days. I cannot wait to see you hold our daughter in your arms. I know that you will be such a wonderful father, babe.
We are so, SO lucky to have you.
I love you.
