4 Months and My Wonderful Hubby

I just got an email notice yesterday that I am officially 4 months pregnant! It certainly does not feel like it has been 4 months. It seems like we just told everyone the wonderful news. Four months means you are really starting to look pregnant. Four months means constantly having something to eat. Constantly. Four months means a lot of waiting. I can't do anything with the nursery until we find out what we are having. I want so bad to start organizing and putting it together but my hands are tied until we find out the sex. Shakespeare was wrong. The real question is "Penis or no penis?" How do people go without knowing? It is driving me nuts. I need to organize and prepare!! I need to paint things and register for all the fun stuff instead of breast pumps and rash creams. But my husband keeps telling me to be patient. It will all get here in due time. He won't be saying that when he comes home and finds our living room and bedroom completely redone in paisley and stripes because I can't control my nesting urges. But alas, I have no other choice than to be patient. I hate it when I don't get my way!

And now moving on to another subject I am completely impatient about: our visit home. I am running out of red ink in my marker from all the x's on the calendar. 25 more days!! Woohoo! I have already starting packing. Ok, so not really but it has crossed my mind. It doesn't seem like such a crazy idea to me. I might start tonight...

And now for some serious talk: my husband. I cannot express to you how wonderful he is to me. God truly gave me a blessing the day I met Chad. It has been an amazing year for us. We got married in May and had the wedding of a lifetime. I constantly want to do it all over again. Then we were given this wonderful gift of life that we are both so thrilled about. Chad has been just wonderful through all of it. (Except for the war on Splenda which I will leave for another time, because this is serious talk.) The day he found out I was pregnant, he came home with a little gift bag and it was these cute little comfy socks so I could have something to lounge around in. He keeps up with the progress of our baby online way more than I do. He will literally go anywhere I need him to at any time of night (if he is here) and get whatever food it is that I want at that exact moment. It doesn't happen often but when it does, he is so willing to do it. He tells me constantly that my hormonal emotions are not that bad when I know he is lying. He helps with the dishes, the laundry, anything he sees me doing, he helps. He goes to work and protects all of us every night and when he comes home, I am the most important thing in the world. And most of all, he laughs with me. We laugh so much together. Its my favorite thing we do together. So anyways, I just wanted to shout to the world how wonderful my husband is and how very blessed I am to have him as my soul mate, lover and best friend. I hope our baby has his beautiful blue eyes so I will have two sets to look at whenever I want!

Ok, now that I have drowned my keyboard with my tears and lets face it, I don't have makeup on and I am not planning on going anywhere today, so who cares what I look like, I think I will sign off for today. I hope everyone has a great Halloween weekend filled with less tricks and lots of treats. Here's a look at the pumpkins Chad and I carved. We went to a pumpkin patch and picked them out ourselves. It was so fun! Happy Halloween!
