Sunday Show and Tell #5

It’s time once again for Mel’s Sunday Show and Tell.

Since it’s Father’s Day, I want to give my awesome husband his Father’s Day props

Here he is putting Bridget’s crib together about a month before she was born.

Jake turned into a Dad within the 30 seconds after Bridget was born.

He looks a little overwhelmed here, but labor went quickly and easily and I think he thought he’d have more time to get his mind around what was about to happen before it actually happened.

This is the two of them in the hospital. Bridget never liked to be put back in her bassinet after a feeding attempt. He hated to hear her cry, so he just brought her to bed with him. I snapped this picture about 2 a.m. when the nurses came to get her to take her to the nursery for something.

This was how Jake spent the first two weeks after Bridget was born. My only jobs in the world were to eat, nap, and nurse. He had her pretty much the rest of the time. I rarely changed a diaper or swabbed the umbilical stump. He could swaddle her perfectly - I never figured out how to do it right. He is such a natural at all this.

They continued to be wild about each other.

A Daddy’s Girl is born. Someday some man will either thank Jake or want to punch him in the nuts for that.

Happy Father’s Day, baby. You are the best dad Bridget could ever have.
