I know it’s a day early but we’ll be busy celebrating tomorrow.

I need to brag a bit.
A lot of you that read this blog don’t live near us and haven’t been able to see the transformation over the last 6 months that I have. Since November 13, 2006 Jessica Fouché has been a mother. In one day she made the transformation and now 6 months later, I need to tell you a few things…

She is still an amazing wife!
Contrary to some scary stories I heard, she still loves me, her husband, as much as she did before our son arrived. I’m continually amazed at the blessing that God has given me in her. Our relationship is as strong as ever and we continue to grow and learn in this new time.

She is a natural mother.
That could mean different things depending on where you live but I mean natural in the sense of her intuition (not in the sense she doesn’t shower). It’s obvious to me that there is a piece of who she is that has come alive since Jude was born, and it is thriving.

Love is her middle name.
Not literally, (it’s actually Lynn) but everything she does in her role as a mother exudes love. She puts herself last and sacrifices a lot to make sure that the ones she cares about get what they need. For example, she hasn’t slept through the night in 6 months. I challenge anyone to try that and see if you can function as a human being. I believe this is a super-power that is given to mothers upon their child’s birth.

I thank God daily for the gift he has given me in Jessica. I know that she is the perfect mother for our son and that he will grow to appreciate and love her as much as I do.
