It’s our Anniversary!!!

3 years ago today, I married my best friend, the love of my life and my baby’s daddy!  Yeah, boy!

And I’m so so blessed to have the life that I have with him.  Our lives aren’t perfect, but we face each day with a smile, with optimism and with laughter.  At our engagement retreat, I told a room full of people that I knew he was the one for me because he brought laughter into my life every.single.day.  And because of that, we would have the fountain of youth.  We’d face life in a light-hearted manner and never take ourselves too seriously.

Those words are so true, even today.  Yes, we have love, trust and faith.  But laughter has been a key ingredient to our joy.

And now that we’re having a child together, I hope that attitude will see us through the late night feedings, the crying, the lack of sleep.  But that’s months away, yeah?

For now, I give him brownie points for being a sensitive, caring and compassionate husband to a wife dealing with the first experiences of pregnancy.  Here are just a few of my favorite things:

• Making sure I have a pillow propped up behind my back when I sleep, because he knows it gives me back pain when I don’t have it.
• Letting me sleep with the windows open because I’m so hot – even if it means he’s bundled up all night.
• Having my morning glass of orange juice ready for me every morning, but always offering me a couple sips out of his delicious cup of coffee
• Glancing down at my belly during our morning/evening walks, and wondering if baby is enjoying the outing.
• Food runs anytime and every time I have a craving.
• He takes my mood swings with patience and LISTENS to what I say.  So my pregnancy hormones have been kept in check with his nurturing.  Awesome!
