Our good friends, Rob and Melissa, welcomed Mackenzie Lynn into the world last Tuesday. We went up to the hospital on Wednesday to see them and their beautiful little girl. I believe Dan might have fallen in love. Later that night, he wouldn't stop repeating "I need to hold that baby again."
On Saturday night, we headed over to their house to see Mackenzie (and her parents, of course) again. I had a hard time getting Dan to leave. He didn't want to put down the baby (and really, I didn't either). She really is adorable.
I've never questioned whether Dan is going to be a good dad. I know he is. He's the type of guy who plays with our friend's young daughter at the water park and then comes home and can't stop talking about how good of time he had. He loves spending time with my junior-high-aged cousin Courtney (although I do, too). But seeing him with a newborn was a great feeling. He seemed comfortable. And he seemed happy.
It made me realize that as much as I'm looking forward to meeting our little one, I'm also looking forward to helping make Dan a dad. There's no doubt in my mind that he'll be a great one.
Baby Richardt is due in early March. Follow the pregnancy from start to finish.
