I know I have done this before, but I just want to take a moment to brag on my amazingly supportive husband. Every single dr appointment he has been right by my side. I look around that waiting room each time & we are definitely not the norm. You don't see many dads - a sad but true fact. And mine, hasn't missed a beat. Glimpse of his future as a dad? Of course. Growing up with a dad who was the opposite, I couldn't be more thankful for that. He will be an amazing father to Finley.
Just this week I was very emotional - definitely having everything hit me at once. I was working, trying to sort through emotions, and was just flat out physically & emotionally drained. Poor Chris dealt with my major emotional day this past Tuesday after our appointment where I pretty much was a wreck afterwards. The crying in the restaurant after lunch kind of day. Yes, I was THAT prego. Mo shame here. After our appointment it became very real to me what was going on with us and the changes our family was/is going through. Chris asked me if I wanted to pray & I lost it. And he didn't complain. Didn't get upset. Wasn't embarrassed. He just rolled right through it all with me, calmed me down, and even got me to laughing. Just what this hormonal pregger needed.
Chris has been the best support system I could ask for during this pregnancy & my biggest encourager. He listens to me talk about my fears and assures me everything will be fine. He tells everyone how well I have done with this pregnancy & never misses an opportunity to brag on me - to our doctor, ultrasound lady, random cashier at Walgreens - you name it. He is a total gift from God & is certainly fulfilling his role as husband.
