Dear Jessie,

As I sit here and look at our beautiful daughter, Lauren, I’m taken back to the day you told me you were pregnant. Nothing had ever affected my world like those words did. I went from feeling one emotion to a totally opposite emotion when you said the words, I’m pregnant.

As the months went on, I was blessed with being able to see your body change and watch your stomach grow. I realized that you had given me so many moments like that very day you announced you were pregnant.

I’ve never seen anyone so beautiful in my life as you were each morning. The glow on your face and the sparkle in your eyes caused my heart to drop every single time. The feel of our child moving inside your body was an experience I just can’t put into words. Seeing a tiny little elbow move from one side of your stomach to the next while we sat there in awe was probably one of my most favorite moments. Your strange eating habits—well, maybe I should just leave that one alone.

What I’m trying to say is that the last few months have been the most amazing, miraculous, wonderful, delightful, enchanting months of my life.

Thank you for loving me. Thank you for being you, Jess. I will never truly be able to write down in words how much I love you and how much your love means to me. I hope you feel it though.

Thank you for being an incredible mother, and I look forward to seeing us both grow, not only as mother and father but also as husband and wife.

You and Lauren are the two most important people in my life. I promise to love you and protect you both. I promise I will do my best to be the husband and father you both deserve.

With all my love,

Scott
