The post Hubby has been waiting for...
( No its not the birth story yet, sorry=)Dear most wonderful husband in the world-
Thank you for being by my side and giving me such wonderful support through out this pregnancy. I never would have made it this far without you (OK I would have but it would have been much more torturous without you). Thank you so much for all of the wonderful things you have done for me and the sweetie pies during this time, some of which I'm sure my pregnant brain can't remember.
I cannot thank you enough for the many breakfasts you prepared (you know how much I love racing around in the morning with the added stress of being large, slow and dealing with morning sickness), the lunches you packed and dinners you made when I was too nauseated or exhausted to lift a finger after work. Sweetpea and Pumpkin were well fed because of you and I was able to survive work for as long as I did because of you. You ventured out many times after 10:00p.m. whether it was to get me an assorted plethora of anti-nausea items, the only thing that remotely sounded edible during my most horrible week of nausea (coconut creme pie-what was my stomach thinking) , random items I seemed to have a craving for, medicines to alleviate my symptoms from colds, or an assortment of creams to help with the horrible rash.
You were by my side through all the doctor visits except the very first (sorry about not changing it-who knew the crazy and exciting news we would find out) and you let me humor you a bit by surprising you on the news of pregnancy and twins. You read magazines tiredly more than I do on pregnancy and parenting (I hope you can remember the details once our sleepless nights make an appearance) and have completed more projects than I can name to help make our house a cozy home and something we can all enjoy once the babies are here (I tried to help as much as I was able but the timing prevented me from doing much except cheer you on) - painting the downstairs, the kids bedroom, laying the wood laminate flooring, landscaping the back yard, putting the cribs together. You arranged for Sweetpea and Pumpkin to send me flowers for mothers day and you put up with my many complaints of aches, tiredness, and nausea, listening patiently and telling me I still look beautiful through it all and offering to do whatever you could to help.
But of course the best part is that you have always by my side sharing in this wonderful experience of us starting what is to be our family and I know you'll be just as wonderful of a father as you are husband. I couldn't ask for anything better. I can truly say as I always do "I am the luckiest!". I look forward to the days when Sweetpea and Pumpkin race to the door in excitement because "Daddy is home" much like Nutmeg adoringly does now. They too will soon find out that they are also the luckiest in having such a wonderful father.
Love,
Your adoring wife
