My Wonderful Husband

I just wanted to take a moment today to talk about my wonderful husband. I love him so much and he truly is my best friend. I feel so blessed to have found him and to be spending the rest of my life with him. I always knew I was lucky to have him, but being pregnant really makes me realize that even more. I'm a very domestic person. I really like to cook for him and that sort of thing. But then the pregnancy comes along - and suddenly you have no energy and the last thing you want to do is cook or clean. And though I probably shouldn't, this made me feel guilty at first. Like I was neglecting my husband. But really, he could have cared less. He likes cooking a lot too - and all of the "fend-for-yourself" dinners we've been having for the last 6 months haven't bothered him one bit. And, although he complains about it to no end, he gives me nightly back rubs to ease the pain of carrying around all of this extra weight. These are just a couple of examples of how great he is. And how he takes wonderful care of me. I'm am so thankful everyday that I have been lucky enough to have this wonderful man in my life. I can't wait to see him as a daddy, because I know he'll be great at that too :)

Happy New Year!

First blog of 2011 - and it's only the 3rd! See? My (non) New Year's resolution is going well already :)

I had a doctor appointment last Tuesday. First (minor, hopefully) glitch in my pregnancy so far. I'm measuring 1cm too big for how far along I am. This is probably just because I'm having a big baby. I've expected to have a big baby really - Justin is 6' 4" after all and I weighed 8lbs 12oz when I was born. Plus, at the 20 week ultrasound he weighed 13oz, which is normal but it's on the big side of normal. However, measuring too big could also mean that I have too much amniotic fluid which is bad. Various things could cause too much fluid. My doctor didn't seem too concerned though, so, while I was very worried at first, I've decided to just calm down about the whole thing for now. Stress does no good for the baby anyway :) So we just have to wait until my next appointment to see how I'm measuring then, and then we will determine next steps. Happy thoughts and prayers are appreciated :)

We rang in the New Year pretty quietly at my house, as is the usual for two homebodies like us. The long weekend from work gave me time to get caught up on some things around the house. I almost have the entire craft room cleared out so that we can start on the baby's nursery! So wonderful to be making progress on that finally. I'll post pictures once we get it started of course, it's all very exciting!

Maybe the reason I blog so little is because when I write blogs closer together I don't feel like I have that much to say :) I'm sure that will all change when the little one arrives.
