My Dearest Rebekah,
I have not stopped thinking about you today my daughter. Your mom and I were blessed with an opportunity to see you in the ultrasound this morning. First we looked at your spine, and then your stomach. You already have the cutest feet and hands. But the most amazing part was getting to see your face! Your beautiful, peaceful, God-made face. There you were. Your face on the black and white screen. So delicate and perfectly formed. Soundly asleep. Resting. Dreaming. I know that I have had eight months to let it all sink in, but it is still surreal to me that I am going to be a father. That I am going to be your father. And you my daughter.
God has been preparing me for this for quite some time now. And I am reminded daily just how marvelous He truly is. Every little detail He has thought about a billion times. He already has every single hair on your head counted. He has loved you since before the beginning of time and will continue to love you throughout all eternity. And not a day has gone by where I have not thought about you. From the moment you were created, to the first ultra sound where you looked like a pea. Every time I hear your heart beat. Reading the Psalms to you at night and feeling you kick all day. And today I saw you blowing kisses to me (at least that what your mom and I think you were doing when your lips were moving in the ultrasound).
Soon you will be in my arms. I will pray over, talk to, sing for, and dance with you everyday. There is a feeling in my heart that has never been there before. I imagine that God has this same feeling about all of His children. A father's love. Keep growing strong and healthy my beautiful daughter. And know that I love you very much.
Daddy
