Dear Little Baby, I want to tell you about your Daddy

Tonight Matthew left for board meeting and I wanted to do something around the house to thank him for all he has done since I've been severely nauseated (almost five weeks now).  But of course I feel to sick to be of use almost anywhere in the house.  So I pulled out our baby journal and wrote this to our baby.  And I wanted to share it, because I have a selfless husband who is tirelessly working for me, for the school, and for the church -- and not complaining one bit.  I am blessed beyond words.

Hello little baby,

You are about 10 weeks old now.  One inch long.  I hope you are enjoying growing.  I have been very nauseated.  I tell you this because I want to tell you about the amazing Daddy that God has given you--and the amazing husband I have.

Ever since I have been nauseated your Daddy has done everything.  He cooks, cleans, pack lunches, always asks if he can do anything to help me feel better, takes care of the dogs, and cat.  And that is all on top of what he always has done to help me.  He mows our neighbors yard, take care of the cars, the yard, and helps around the house as he always has.  AND if that weren't enough he helps me at school.  He takes the students for recess, sorts my desk, handles stressful situations, and still does all of his own teacher and principal duties.  Your Daddy is selfless and serving.  He is also taking an online class toward his master's degree, is an elder at church, and takes time to rub my back at night when I know he must be exhausted.  And I have never heard him complain or ask me to do more.  He is a servant-lover after Jesus' heart.  I am eternally blessed to be his wife and beyond words thankful that he is your Daddy.

If you are a boy, I want you to be just like your Daddy.  If you are a girl I pray you will marry someone just like your Daddy.

We are incredibly blessed.

All my love,
Mama
