TO MARC:

Since it is Marc's first Father's Day...I thought he deserved a little shout out for being such an amazing father and husband! Here it goes baby! haha

From day one of finding out we were pregnant with Brax, Marc was there. When we found out about the problems Braxton might have at our 18 week appt., Marc was there. He squeezed my hand during the amnio, he came to all of the Dr. appointments, and perinatologist appt. He was always there. LOYAL, STRONG, and full of FAITH and LOVE. I couldn't have done all that without him and it wasn't until Braxton was born, that i knew it wouldn't go away. Traveling 11 hours to get to SLC, when I was labor, 8 more hours of waiting by my side and then it happened...little 4 lb 14 oz 17 1/2 in. Braxton Rosell was born! Braxton wasn't doing good (at all) when he was born. He was limp and couldn't breathe, but did I find any of this out at the time...NO! Marc was so CALM and was right next to him watching all these things happen to Braxton that I wouldn't have been able to handle. Marc gave Braxton his first little blessing during the first couple of nights at the hospital. He made sure that our little son wasn't alone. Marc just connected with Braxton on a level I will never know. The whole month Braxton was in the NICU Marc was there, he helped with I.V. s, he held Braxton's hand when I couldn't watch him have trouble breathing, he prayed for him, he took picture after pciture trying to make him look gangsta haha, he learned how to place a feeding tube. When Braxton came home, he rant to the store at 3 in the morning to buy a thermometer the first night he came home, he didn't sleep an ounce just so he could watch Braxton take breath after breath, and the list goes on and on. Marc is the PERFECT dad for Braxton. They are BEST buddies and love it when mom leaves so they can have man time. Marc was meant to be a dad and has been so wonderful. He is just as on top of things, if not sometimes more, than I am about Braxton's schedule and what his needs are. To this day, Marc hasn't missed one Dr. appt. Braxton is his little bud and will always be. I am so THANKFUL for a TERRIFIC husband who takes his job as a dad seriously and will continue to be one with all of our kids as we continue to build our family. We are so BLESSED and our little family is so lucky to have Marc be the head of it. THANK YOU Marc for always being there for Braxton and for me! HAPPY FATHER'S DAY! WE LOVE YOU!
