I am fortunate to have great "Fathers" in my life...I've been thinking about how lucky I was to have a dad who was so willing to teach his little girl important things. When I was young, my dad would read to me every night; we burned through Stuart Little, Charlotte's Web, and The Swan Princess. He shared his talents with me and helped me to develop my talents. I remain so grateful for his constant support.
We celebrated Father's Day with Brandon's family. His dad is one of Brandon's favorite golf companions, and they continue to cultivate their shared love of hidden "treasures" from the D.I. (most of which are on shelves in my garage...). Brandon has inherited a few fun characteristics from his dad; they both love to tease tiny kids. Our nieces are very concerned that this constant pestering will be the story of our daughter's life. We are thankful for all that Lee does for us.
It is crazy to think of my husband as a father...I can't believe it will be here so soon! Brandon will be a truly wonderful, sweet dad. I'm pretty sure that our little girl will quickly wrap him around her fingers. We were discussing our parenting tactics a few nights ago, and he declared that he will just let me discipline our daughter so that he can comfort her and be the nice parent. He informed me that he'll just say to her, "Oh, come here, Sweetheart. Mom is so mean, huh?" (Brandon's exact words, I swear!) I know that Brandon will be a fantastic dad; I can't imagine anyone better to help raise our daughter.Just a quick update on the baby...um, she's HUGE! Okay, maybe not huge, but she's certainly a healthy gal. It all makes me a little nervous...yikes! I'm feeling great; I worry that maybe I am feeling a little too good. I'd like to be in the "timing contractions" stage soon, and I'm just not seeing any sign of that. Apparently, I am the queen of amniotic fluid. When we measure on our ultrasounds I am at the top of the "normal" amniotic fluid range which, coupled with our growing gal, is making me feel super, super large. I love it though...I feel so grateful that everything has been so smooth with the pregnancy. I just can't wait to see her...hopefully sooner rather than later :)! Our AMAZING family has thrown WONDERFUL baby showers for us! I am overwhelmed by everyone's kindness and generosity. We love you all!

Oh Brandon is so funny! He will be such a cute dad and you will such a cute mom too! I am going to have to watch that clip when I get home. Well, I am glad that your cute little girl is growing big and strong! I am also glad you are feeling pretty good! I hope it continues!
I can soooo hear Brandon saying those exact words - ha ha... we'll see when she gets her who takes on what role. I'm excited for you guys and the day is coming up soon enough. After its done you may miss being prego and big afterall. I do, although not sure I really want another kid either. Ü Good seeing you the other day at softball!
That's funny! Ned actually does say that. I do do most of the disciplining and Abby always runs straight to Ned for comfort. He has been scolded on multiple occasions for the, "Mom is mean huh?" or "What did mommy do?" It was great to see you at the shower. You looked fabulous! Let us know if there is ever anything we can do.
Can't wait to meet your beautiful little, yes little, daughter! I know you and Brandon will be wonderful parents. So thankful you are feeling well. Take care and hoping all continues to go like clockwork!
I love that you referred to yourself as the "queen of amniotic fluid"! Hilarious. You are so cute and I can't wait for sweet baby girl to be here!!
