So, before Faith was born, Dustin was really worried. Not so much about having a baby, but more about bonding with a baby. He wasn't sure how he would respond to her in an emotional way.
Flash forward to last night. Faith was on the bed with him and Abby. I was getting ready for bed so I could nurse the baby and we could all relax. Faith was crawling near the edge and he grabbed her shirt and said, "You're going to fall off." And she did. Right out of his hands and smack on her face. I saw the blood and ran to get ice. When I got back, he was cradling her and she was screaming into his shoulder. He was so upset, he was almost in tears. There was so much blood in her mouth that it looked like she had knocked out her new tooth on top. He ordered me to make an appointment with the dentist in the morning. I calmed her down and cleaned her up and thankfully, her teeth were fine. But he was still so upset and nearly in tears himself. It took him longer to calm down than it took her. He said that he'd had no idea that his heart and his feelings would or could hurt so much when she fell down. Even when it's a little spill, he still hurts for her.
God blessed me` with a `man` w`ho `has more heart than I do.
