Celebrating Father’s Day at the Hospital

Since I’ve been stuck in the hospital for a week now, we had no choice but to celebrate Father’s Day here. It was very low key yet fun and memorable especially because I’m also 34 weeks pregnant today!

I am so glad that Jordan and I were able to create our Father’s Day gifts for his daddy and grandpas last week before the big bleeding episode. I took him to a local pottery studio to paint some coffee mugs for his daddy and 2 grandpas. He had a blast getting paint on his hands and putting  hand print on the mugs! Days after we did the mug painting, he would still point to his hand asking me to put paint on it. He’s so adorable! :)

When you’re a little girl, you imagine everyone’s dad is loving, caring and protective – well at least I did.  But the older I get, the more I realize just how lucky I really am.  I hope this doesn’t come across as bragging but I just really believe my dad deserves some recognition for putting up with a daughter like me.  My simple words can in no way express my gratitude for all he has done for me and my sister and now for my son. My dad is truly an inspiration to me. The love and guidance that he gave me made me into the person I am today. I’m forever thankful for God blessing me with my dad.

Growing up, I remember my mom always tells me that if I’m going to marry someone, I’d have to pick wisely – that if I  could only pick someone who is as half as loving as my dad, then me and my children would live a happy life. I thought that person would be so hard to find but thankfully, he came into my life when I was least expecting it and I’m so proud to say that I picked the best father to my children! Needless to say, I’m forever thankful to God for blessing Jordan and Jelly B with such an amazing dad.
