To baby, some Dad notes.

Last night I was reminded how blessed you're going to be. Your dad planned and organized a lock-in for the youth of our church. We were hoping for 40 kids, planned for 50. We ended up with over 100 teenagers! With your dad in charge that can be a scary thing! But he did great. Of course, a huge amount of help was given from our great youth workers. After staying up all night your dad slept in till about 2pm, which is much deserved! He had just as much fun as the teens did.

Here's some things you need to know about your dad. I'm sure you will come to figure these out on your own, but hopefully this may give you a head start.

1. Your dad is a hard worker. He will always find a way to provide what you need. That being said, all your WANTS may not be met, but you will never go a day in your life that your dad has not made sure you and me are taken care of. He prides himself on it. And he is determined to teach you to be the same way.

2. Dad is a softy. He talks a big talk, but deep down we both know he wants to give us everything. Lord help him if you are a little girl...

3. Your dad (and your mom I'm afraid) is stubborn. Me and your  dad dated for 5 years before we got married, and are on our 6th month of marriage, and we STILL haven't figured out how to back down and not feel the need to get the last word.

4. We are competitive! You will learn quick that me and your dad love to compete. In sports, board games, even in house work we love winning and hate losing. Rest assured, we want the best for you in whatever you do and will support you so you can be the best you can. We figure we have all the sports covered. Singing or music you will have your Baker grandparents to help. And don't think we forgot about school. We have high expectations for you, little one.

5. Your dad is funny. So funny. Funny to the point where you can't really stay mad or frustrated with him. It drives your mama crazy:) This is one attribute that if you have, I'm in trouble as a parent. I appreciate humor, so if you have the smallest funny bone in you and figure out how to utilize it, I have a feeling you will get away with a lot.

6. Your dad loves you. He talks about you all the time. Boy or girl, he can't wait to play catch, take you to OU and Thunder games, and teach you new things. He has so much planned he wants you to experience with him.

That's a short list, but it will get you through your first few years on Earth. You are a blessing to us in every way sweet baby. We are looking forward to meeting you in just 6 short months.

Love,
Mom
