While this whole pregnancy thing hasn’t been a walk in the park, I am quick to realize that without my support system is would have been a hell of a lot harder. Bryan! He is my everything, but during this pregnancy he’s been my rock. I would go so far as to say he’s the best husband a pregnant woman has ever had. I don’t know where I’d be without his constant help and encouragement. Whatever I need…whenever I need it…he’s got me covered. And even when I can tell he’s so frustrated with me, he manages to keep it in. He deserves a special prize…I wonder if the baby is enough. 🙂

He spoils me to such a point that I’m not sure I’m ready to go back to back to the old days. 🙂 No, I really am. Well, we’ll never get the old days back. But I am ready to be completely self-sufficient again. How exactly does my wonderful husband spoil me?

• He cooks for me…and then brings it to me. 🙂
• He’s constantly bringing me things so I don’t have to move my slow, heavy body around.
• He takes me out to eat whatever I’m in the mood for.
• He makes grocery store runs despite the time of day.
• He gives me countless masages and back scratches.
• He’s pretty diligent about reading all of the baby books too.
• He has helped to make sure that baby has the best nursery we can create.
• He makes me feel beautiful when all I see in the mirror is a big, fat cow.
• He’s very understanding of the demands my body makes on me.
• He overlooks the dirty house.
• He does way more chores than ever before.
• He amuses me by talking/singing/rubbing my belly.
• He makes me all-natural “lotion” for me to rub on my belly and body.

That list probably leaves out so much, but at least you get the idea. Bryan is the best! And to give him even more props – he actually managed to lose weight (well, body fat anyway) while I was busy expanding like crazy. That is quite the feat! So, if you see my awesome (and quite worn down) husband out and about, give him a hug. Or buy him a drink. He certainly has earned it!

I love you, Bryan!
