Many of you don't know this man like I do. This goofy, loving, nerdy, caring guy is my best friend. In the short time that we have been married, we have made it through so many obstacles and challenges and I have no doubt that we can make it through anything.
Our most recent challenge has been the last 9 months. Pregnancy-need I say more?! I can no longer bend over the top of our washing machine to grab those tiny socks or items lingering on the bottom. Loading and unloading the dishwasher is accompanied by deep groans and exasperated breaths. And I can't remember the last time I could touch my toes, let alone see them! And all those hormones-let's not even go there!
And this guy! This incredible guy, never ceases to amaze me. There are days, many of them, that I never see the laundry getting done or the dishes being washed. My weekends are full of sleeping in, breakfast in bed, leg massages and hardly touching Paisley's diapers. Spoiled...I have decided that is what I am. Sadly, it took me having a recent pity party on myself to recognize this.
Pity Party Story**
As I bent down to pull a pot out of the cupboard this morning, I knew there was no way I was going to be able to get back up. I sat down and started crying. Crying because I felt helpless and because all of my bones and joints in my body ache. Crying because I'm overdue and nothing I do is getting this little guy here any quicker. Crying because I can't remember the last time I hugged someone where there wasn't a "watermelon" in between us. Don't get me wrong, I feel immensely blessed for being able to carry this baby and am so thankful I have had a healthy pregnancy. I'm just simply ready to meet him and kiss his little chubby cheeks.
We are so anxious to meet this little boy and I can't imagine a better father to raise him. I could go on and on about this guy, but I think I will just carry out the last (hopefully) few moments/days of this pregnancy recognizing how blessed I have been to find such an amazing companion and father to help me on this journey we've been blessed with. I love you sweetie and am thankful for all you do.
xoxo, me
