But...I have so much to be thankful for and things could be SO much worse.

Every day I wake up to the sweetest, most adorable little cutie pie and I smile and remember it will be worth it. My husband is helping as much as he can, when he can.

I was recently talking to a friend who's wife is pregnant and I was telling him how blessed she was to have him get up with their little girl each morning. He said, "It's the least we husbands can do for you pregnant women." Oh my, music to my ears. While John has been good to help he has never uttered words like that!! I shared that conversation with him and now...he says it all the time.

"Honey, will you bring me a new IV bag and flush?"

"John, would you make me some Rice?"

"John, would you get me some water?"

"John, would you go pee for me so I don't have to get up?"


John: "Its the least I can do for my pregnant wife."

AHHHHHHHH!! THAT makes me feel better!!
