An emotional week

I have the "worst" and best husband in the world. Let me explain.

By Thursday of this past week, I was ready to be in bed by 5pm every day because this baby is making me SO tired. I am frustrated by this because I've always been in relative control of my body and emotions (although Adam may disagree on the latter of the two) and now that someone else is in control of both, it's a hard pill to swallow. Needless to say, I did not go to bed at 5pm as I had hoped any of those nights. Thursday night, Adam and I were watching TV (Grey's anatomy and then Private Practice) which both (of course) had all sorts of sad baby/mommy stories on them. Well, after crying/sniveling every so often about the shows, Adam tried to lighten the mood with a little joke about my symptoms and fatigue. On any other day I would have laughed and told him was a goon...but on this particular sleep-deprived day, all I heard was, "Your symptoms are fake." (keep in mind - this is not at ALL what he said or meant, but I can be a little irrational at the moment...) He went on with his business of playing with the dogs. I lost it and started bawling. And bawling. And bawling! What was wrong with me?!!? Gotta love hormones. Adam finally saw that I was crying and came running over looking at me like he had just broken me as though I were made of glass. Then I cried even harder b/c I didn't want to be crying about anything and I was a mess...needless to say after I had calmed down, Adam suggested we head up to bed - smart guy. Here's where he begins to turn into best husband ever.

Adam is currently working 7 days straight of 12-hr shifts for work. This means he needs to be out of the house by 6:05am which usually means he gets up slightly before then, brushes his teeth, and runs out the door. Well, today (Saturday) he got up a little early and fed and let the dogs out for me so I could sleep in as late as I needed to. What a great husband!! I love him more today than I ever have, I think. He will look at me funny for saying that, but the gesture was so greatly appreciated and I got 10.5 hours of much-needed sleep! Now I can be productive all day and hopefully get some reports done for work since getting them done during the work day is an impossible task at the moment (non-preg related things). I love my husband! He doesn't know it yet, but I AM going to get him pizza for dinner tonight like he wanted...
