Monday my little baby boy will be two. He’s not so little
anymore, actually he’s really tall and wears a size 8 in shoes. I reminisce a
lot {about good things only, of course} and while I was thinking back the other
day to what we were doing two years ago, it made me realize how blessed we are.
How blessed I am. I try to think of how it used to be when it was just me,
Trevor and our dog Maggie. It’s hard to remember. Life must have been so boring
before Tanner. Really it wasn’t, it was just a different kind of life. With
that said, I just want to take a minute and thank my baby daddy, the one who
helped create our sweet blessing.
Both of my grandmas always tell me how lucky I am to have
him. Boy they sure are right. Not only is he a wonderful husband who loves me,
he is an even more amazing daddy. I knew the moment that he laid eyes on Tanner
in that operating room that he was a different man. I had a c-section and had
some complications afterwards. He was my nurse for the next 10 weeks {and a
very good one} and was a new daddy. We took turns with nightly feedings and diaper
changes. He wanted to be a part of everything, from bath time to picking out
his outfits. I realized very quickly that we were in this together. Not just me
because I birthed him, but it’s 50/50 around our house. It was amazing. It made
me truly fall more in love with him than I already was.
And now here we are almost two years later. Trevor was
always anxious for Tanner to be able to walk so he could play with him and
teach him to play ball. He has surely kept his word. Every night when he gets
home from work no matter how exhausted he his, he plays with him. He feeds him,
he bathes him almost every night, and he’s the one chasing him around the house
at night when I’m exhausted. He goes above and beyond and never complains. And for
that, my dear amazing husband who I know reads my blog, I just want to tell you
thank you from the bottom of my heart. I’m no longer scared to have another
baby. I know that if we can take care of our wild monkey for the past two
years, then we can certainly do it again. We are far from perfect, but we
certainly try and learn along the way. The main reason is because we’re in it
together.
I’m not just a proud mom. I’m a proud wife. I’m proud of how
hard my husband works each today and how he comes home, leaves work at the
front door and walks in as a daddy. He thinks I’m super mom, well honey I think
you’re super dad. So cheers to making it two years as first time parents! I can’t
wait to see what our future holds as mommy and daddy =) I love you so very much!
Hopefully I'll be sharing some yummy recipes tomorrow! Hope ya'll are having a great day! Until next time...
