Props to Momma

So I have mentioned a few times before about how awesome I think Danielle is, but I still feel like I need to reiterate this fact. She's a rock star. She's a champ. She is all that is awesome, cool, georgeous, smart and caring rolled into one. From the very beginning of her pregnancy she has shown nothing but the highest level of self sacrfice. Not just her time and her body, but her career, her love of a good glass of wine, clothes that fit, and at times...even her sanity. Just yesterday we were looking back at pictures from when we first found out we were having a kid and Danielle was shaking her head at a picture of herself, saying, "Did we even have a clue what we were getting ourselves into?"

Let's be honest, on paper there is no logical reason for a women to want to have a baby. Your body puffs up, everything you do is slower, your whole life is turned upside down...and thats before the kid even comes. Afterwards, Danielle has seemed to throw aside the natural reaction of self-preservation that most of us live with our whole lives and has traded it in for a cloak of compassion and caring for this new pale, helpless, bald thing that sometimes won't ever stop screaming.  Every single thing she does now, she wonders how it will effect Noah.  Hours go by that she forgets to eat/pee because he is so content in her arms.

It has been 12 weeks since our little mancub has blessed our life, which means it's time for Danielle to return to work (if you call swimming with dolphins all day work).  This also means I am actually going to have to take care of Noah all day while she is at work. Somedays it will be after I get home from a 12 hour nightshift. But lets be honest, Danielle has been taking care of him after many 12-hour night shifts of staying up all night with him. There is no way I can possibly live up to the awesome caregiver that Danielle is to Noah, but she has paved the way and set a great example.

Tuesday is also our 3 year wedding annivesary. I can think of no better way to spend it then spending the day with Noah and Danielle at SeaWorld, watching Danielle do what she does best, be the best mom and wife all at the same time.
