Well, to say the least, I have been pretty emotionally fragile lately. With Micah I did the whole crying for no apparent reason early in the pregnancy. This one is a bit delayed. I think I have cried almost every other day in the last week or so. I have been SO sick with this child that it just gets to me. I really have to hand it to my sweet husband who has been so wonderful in supporting me and just loving me through my crazy hormonal stints. The other night I was feeling pretty bad for myself because I was sick yet again, so I went to bed and just started to cry like a big baby. Chad came in and held me close and told me I was wonderful, which of course only made the waterworks worse. Once I had calmed down and I was falling asleep, he went to sneak out (he is my night owl) and I turned over. In the mirror I could see him stop in his tracks at the door to keep an eye on me. I know he would have come running back if I had needed him. I just love him. What is funny is I think that as women we are always trying to tweak our husbands a little here and there. We think if only he would be cleaner or I wish he would be more stylish, etc. I know that when he is there for me, he doesn't have an agenda in his mind for me. He isn't wishing I was a better cook or a size zero. Without a doubt, I know he loves me exactly the way I am and for that I am very, very grateful! So wives and girlfriends, give your man a second kiss and hug today because although we put up with a lot, they sure do too and they deserve all the love in the world for it!

8 Quick Thoughts:
Holy crap! I was totally teary eyed by the end of your post. I'm pretty sure I'm not pregnant, but you definitely got me second guessing. I hope you have a better day, free of sickness... that sucks! P.S. I love you!
amen. great post, totally agree with all ya said.
hope you are feeling better. sickness sucks!
I love this post... Chad is such a great guy! And you're totally right about guys not wanting to change us. I remember thinking one day that it wasn't that Nick didn't want to do the dishes, he just didn't see them. Later on that night, I was examining my thighs and thinking that I REALLY need to work out, and he says, "You're so gorgeous." So he can't see the dirty dishes, but he also can't see my cellulite. decent trade-off, I think! :)
You should take up writing books or something, that was a great post. Chad is awesome, and I agree, we don't give our husbands enough credit. I hope you feel better, and the baby comes on time...:) Love ya Rachel
That was beautifully put Rachel!! I really think you are a great writer too. :) That made me all trunky for Jeff and he is 10 feet away!
You are such a good wife and have such a wonderful husband. So true..Thanks for the reminder that we all need every once in a while to appreciate our hubby's a little more!
How adorable are you?! Chad is so perfect and you two together are so great! I hope you get feeling better ... soon!!
