Pregnancy Thoughts & An Amazing Husband

I haven't really posted much about this pregnancy, and I figure today might be a good time to do it, since I'm less than 3 weeks away from meeting this sweet little baby girl. This pregnancy has been similar to my first with Lauren. I had morning sickness for about a month longer this time, which was not very fun, but hey, I'll take it if I get a healthy baby. I definitely feel tired a lot easier this time around, but that might be because I'm chasing Lauren everywhere. These last couple of weeks have really taken their toll on me. My sciatic has been freaking out, which never happened with Lauren. I've been sick for about a week now, and that really doesn't help things, since sleep is hard anyway, and then I cough all night long too. On Friday, Aaron came home from work, and surprised me with flowers! He doesn't really get the point of flowers, because he thinks its funny to give someone something that will die. So its kind of a big deal for me when he does give me flowers. Then, on Monday, I had cleaned the house, vacuumed, and finished the laundry. When he came home, he said, "Let's go pick out paint for the nursery and get dinner." Music to my ears! I have been really excited to finally decide on a color and get the paint, and I love that we went out to dinner so I didn't dirty the kitchen I just cleaned. Yesterday, he called and asked if I had any plans today. I said that I was busy in the morning, but free the rest of the day. He told me that he has scheduled a prenatal massage for me and already arranged for my sister to watch Lauren. What? Could I be better taken care of? Then, when he got home from work last night (it was late, because he has clients in town this week), he brought me a fruit tart from Market Street Grill! It was so delicious. Aaron is so thoughtful and I really do appreciate all these things he's doing for me. Last night, after he got home from work, I asked why I'm getting all of this good treatment. He replied, "You're not complaining as much with this pregnancy as you were with Lauren, even though I know its harder on you this time around." I thought it was so sweet that he can tell that I've needed a little more help than what he already does for me. I'm so grateful for a caring, loving husband. I'm grateful that I get to have an eternal family with him. Even though I'm having a harder time with this pregnancy, I'm glad I get to have babies, and get to share this life with Aaron.
