I thought I loved him then.
My favorite thing to do at almost every wedding is to watch the groom! Yes i am katherine heigl in 27 dresses I love watching the grooms reaction to his bride coming down the aisle. Well it turns out it's not the only time where watching the man makes your heart just sink with awww....
We were sitting in a doctors office i was laying on a table and my husband was sitting next to me with his fingers interlocked with mine. Then the doctor pointed to the ultrasound machine "that's your baby."
That right there, that moment, you almost missed it! The moment your husband sees his baby for the first time.
I remember his face so vividly when the doctor pointed out the little peanut growing in my belly. I didn't think I could fall in love with the man I already fell in love with. In that moment whem you see the man you love glow with excitment after seeing his blob baby, i dont know about you but i fell in love all over again. Over the next 9 months you get to watch him glow over the kicks he gets to feel and the rolls he gets to see. I thought my husband was protective of me before! For the next 9 month My belly was the most protected thing in the house!
But then the moment comes where he gets to see his baby for the first time and in our story that baby is a girl and the way he looked at her the first time she entered this world is another vivid picture I will always remember. Watching the man you love go from husband to father is such an amazing thing. Watching him so gently cradle this little newborn baby and just staring with such pride.... you once again fall in love all over again.
It doesnt stop there though! Then you get to go home and you get to watch him kiss her goodnight and cuddle her all day and as she grows you get to watch him grow into a more loving father. You get to watch him protect and teach her. I mean is their anything sexier then walking in on a man singing old mcdonald in a silly voice to a 6 month old little girl! I think not! Watching him love her is not the only thing that will tug on those so very sensitive heart strings. We as mothers spend the most time with our babies especially if your a stay at home mom and if your breastfeeding. We as mothers bond with our babies very quickly don't you think, but there is something so amazing about watching their love grow so fast for their daddys! I mean my daughter gives the biggest smiles to her daddy when she sees him! I spend every single minute with her but when her daddy walks into the room or she hears his voice that little grin of her gets bigger then ever before. Like so big it makes me cry sometimes! It's one of the many incredible experiences that comes with being parents.
The day I said "I do" to my husband my heart was ready to burst, I didn't think I could love this man more then I did that day.... until that man became a father.
