Closer

Having a baby has brought me and Brad closer together in ways I never thought it would. He has seen more of me now that in the four and a half years we have been married (how many times do you get to see someones insides?). I knew having a baby would change our lives but I didn't know how much that included our relationship with each other. Having Brad studying medicine has allowed me to open up to him about things that are happening to my body post pregnancy. It has been so nice for me to be able to ask him questions and get his reassurance about things with my c-section recovery, side affect with my pain meds, and even new mom pains. Plus seeing him as a daddy has made me love him so much more. I always knew he would be a great dad, but to see him when he gets home and he is so excited to have his Charly time even with his studies, make me know that he will always make time for our family.

Staring contest, looks like Charly won this one.

Brad is in charge of Charly's tummy time

He also likes to cuddle with her (don't worry Brad is not asleep here, you can tell by his smile)

There's nothing like watching your husband be a dad. It's the best.

That's pretty awesome you can just ask your hubby medical questions--super handy post baby!

I can totally relate (except the husband being a Dr. bit, we just have to guess). And I think these pictures are darling!
