fathers day.

dear trevan,

we have 2 kids? how did we ever get here? we started this journey as parents nearly 5 years ago....

remember how scared you were? remember how you didn't think you were ready? remember how you were mad at me for being pregnant for the first few months? remember how it all changed the moment you saw jude's little heart beat on the monitor? remember picking out baby names, and you choosing jude? remember seeing his sweetest face for the first time? remember his burping face? remember jude always falling asleep with you? remember when jude said "dada" first? remember taking jude fly fishing with you in the backpack? remember his first steps? remember when jude fell in love with star wars? remember when jude helped you finished the basement? remember when jude became a big brother? remember jude's first baseball game? remember when jude got a bike? remember how jude won't let anyone call him his best friend but you? remember how you have a little boy that wants to be just like you?

remember when we found out we were having a little girl? remember how you chose the name greta? remember how scary her birth was? remember holding her for the first time? remember what it felt like to have a daughter? remember when we found out greta could see? remember when she sat for the first time? remember greta's miracle? remember her snuggles? remember when she started crawling? remember how greta is the sweetest happiest girl in the world? remember how she too called you "dada" first? remember greta in her walker? remember how she calls you a 'baby'? remember how she is a daddy's girl (as long as i am not around)?

remember how we are doing it all over again?

6 weeks

i remember all of it... the good times and the bad times. you are a fantastic father. your children adore you and so does your wife. thank you for your hard work, your sacrifices, and your patience. thank you for making me a mother and for wanting to be a father. you are a good man.

happy fathers day.

i love you (foreva-eva),

me.

p.s. i know its early to announce, i have had a miscarriage and know the risks. we are just too happy to not share the news. jude has never been more excited.
