My Husband

I am truly blessed and completely overwhelmed with the love that fills my heart everyday! I am completely infatuated with my beautiful baby girl! I now know why they call it the labor of love. Labor was, I think, one the most challenging things I have ever faced.This however, is coming from a girl who has never really experienced pain or spent any time in a hospital. Not only am I filled with love for the newest member of our family, but I feel a new, deeper connection and love for Ty. I wanted to take a minute and write to my wonderful husband and to our family in order to express my deep affection and gratitude for how great my husband has been. I am completely amazed by Ty and how absolutely wonderful he is to me as his wife and new mom. I made it through labor somewhat calmly and quietly because of the strength and guidance I received from Ty. Poor guy, we thought he would stand up by my head and do more observing than participating, but before we knew it he was holding one leg, supporting my head, doing all the counting and encouraging me with every push! He was AWESOME! He knew exactly what I needed and was doing it before I would ask. I can't even begin to find the words to express how much I love him. God has truly blessed me in so many ways! I knew when I married Ty I was getting a truly amazing man. Each day since the birth of Raija, I am showered with more blessings and reminders of what a wonderful man I married! Ty has surprised me with how fast he took to Raija and what a great dad he is. I always knew Ty would be a wonderful dad, but I thought it would take some time and teaching (he informed me he had never changed a diaper). However, I didn't change one diaper until we were home! Ty instantly knew just want Raija needed and was able to calm and satisfy her. Not only did Ty do an awesome job with Raija but was great help with my recovery! Ty has been there for me no matter what the circumstance and, as most of you know, labor presents some very unpleasant ones! Ty, I love you so much and thank you for all the love and support you have given me. Thank you for being a wonderful husband and father. I am so blessed to have you in my life!
