It's amazing how you fall in love with someone and know you want to spend the rest of your life with that person. Then suddenly, in an instant, this new little person that the two of you created comes into this world and you now look at your husband completely differently. I never knew that I could love him any more than I did before. Yet I do.
Seeing him with Zoe brings tears to my eyes every day. The nicknames he has for her, the cute voice he uses when talking to her, the way he always wants to hold her, and is so worried when she cries. Unfortunately, he has to go back to work on Monday. The other night, he realized it was already Thursday and said he has no idea how he's going to leave her Monday morning. Melt.my.heart.
And that's just with her. He has been such an amazing help to me. He was up with her several times into the wee hours at the hospital so that I could get my rest upon his insistence. He has taken care of dinner every night, taken care of Wally, ran errands, gotten up with her and I at night even when he doesn't have to, and so much more. I have no idea how I'm going to do this alone once he goes back to work. I wish we could stay this little family of four each day for the whole 6 months I'm off work.
He also surprised me with a gift in the hospital. I was definitely not expecting this. He made it very clear for several years that he thought "push presents" were silly. And I would never expect him to get me a gift. But he came back to the hospital after playing with Wally and pulled out a little, teal bag (every girl knows what that means). He bought me the perfect pearl earrings from Tiffany's. Now I can finally get rid of the not so lovely everyday earnings I had that were about $5 :)
I can't wait to watch Zoe grow up with her daddy. I love them both so much.
How adorable...Zoe is holding Aaron's finger in the bottom photo.
