Hello, Thalia. This is your daddy. We’re going to have a lot of fun together. I can’t wait for you to teach me all of the great things a father can learn from his daughter!
I know you’re in the NICU right now, but that’s okay. You had your umbilical cord wrapped around your neck, what do you expect? The Nurse says we should have you here with us in the next day or two, so sit tight in your little warmer-bed.

If you leap awake
In the mirror of a bad dream
And for a fraction of a second
You can’t remember where you are
Just open your window
And follow your memory upstream
To the meadow in the mountain
Where we counted every falling star
I believe the light that shines on you
Will shine on you forever
And though I can’t guarantee
There’s nothing scary hiding under your bed
I’m gonna stand guard
Like a postcard of a Golden Retriever
And never leave till I leave you
With a sweet dream in your head
I’m gonna watch you shine
Gonna watch you grow
Gonna paint a sign
So you’ll always know
As long as one and one is two
There could never be a father
Who loved his daughter more than I love you
Trust your intuition
It’s just like going fishing
You cast your line
And hope you’ll get a bite
But you don’t need to waste your time
Worrying about the market place
Try to help the human race
Struggling to survive its harshest night
I’m gonna watch you shine
Gonna watch you grow
Gonna paint a sign
So you’ll always know
As long as one and one is two
There could never be a father
Who loved his daughter more than I love you
I’m gonna watch you shine
Gonna watch you grow
Gonna paint a sign
So you’ll always know
As long as one and one is two
There could never be a father
Who loved his daughter more than I love you

I’m so excited that she is finally here. It was all I could do not to tickle those little toes of her’s lying in that little bed.
I know you two can’t wait to get her home and neither can I! She is so adorable.
