and I thought I loved you then...



Our first dance as husband & wife...cheers to many more dances along the way!

I have heard from so many different people that experiencing pregnancy and the birth of your own child makes you look at your spouse in a totally different way. I have heard that it makes you love them more, love them in a totally new way, develop an entirely new respect for them, fall in love with them all over, or develop feelings you never knew you could feel for another adult.

Of course - it will change the way you are able to love...there is now a human being that you are completely responsible for...but I am really starting to understand what everyone was talking about when it comes to your spouse.

This experience...well the 24 weeks and 1 day we have been through already has truly made me fall in love with my husband all over again, love him in a totally different way, develop an entirely new level of respect for him and even made me love him more...which is a pretty amazing thing considering that I would have told you last September (PDC) that I loved him with my whole heart, that I couldn't imagine loving him more, and that I had the utmost respect for him. Boy...your heart and head can really throw you for a loop.

I look forward to the day that I get to see him holding our daughter...the very thought of it brings tears to my eyes now (once again...emotional wreck...pregnant!) but it's more than that...its knowing that we are in this together, and its knowing that he is fully committed and as scared and anxious and nervous and excited and amazed as I am about this entire process...and that through this...we will be stronger as individuals and as husband and wife.

cheesy maybe...but I am not kidding you when I say that I can't even count how many times I have heard these thoughts from friends and family - and I honestly couldn't agree more!

I love you PH!!
