Aww!
DH put his IPod on my stomach on Saturday, and finally got to see and feel the baby kick...a lot. And he teared up. And he was tickled that the baby loved Mumford and Sons and the Nationals, LOL.

Lol. He was real cryptic there.
Yesterday J cleaned, did the laundry, and made amazing pulled pork for dinner. I've been in a funk lately and she just let me sit around and enjoy my day off. Thank goodness for her, seriously.

He let me sleep in late Sunday morning (which is his day to sleep in) while he got up with our daughter because he was going over to a friend's house that night and didn't want me to have to wake up with our daughter and have to put her to bed too. It was lovely.

Well he was kind of an asshole yesterday, but 2 weeks ago I was having a shitty week and he had flowers delivered to me with a note that said, "I know it's been rough but I am really proud of you"
I ended up ugly crying in front of the delivery guy. Lol

I came home from class yesterday and he had cleaned the house and had a really awesome lunch ready for me on the table, with a napkin even. Lol for some reason I found the napkin the cutest part
My DH has been working OOT for the last 18 days and won't be home for another week. Work has just sucked lately and yesterday I was actually sitting in a parking lot crying on my lunch hour because I just didn't know how much more I could take. Just one of those super shitty days on top of being lonely. DH happened to call in the midst of it and could tell I was upset. Obviously there was nothing he could really do, other than listen, but later in the afternoon I received flowers and a card that told me I could call him anytime for anything and to never cry by myself again.

Ooh, we saw them about a month ago - it was so good! And hooray for baby kicks. They are so awesome.

I hadn't been feeling well for about 3 weeks, and that made my anxiety skyrocket. Saturday night, I had a mini breakdown, complete with sobbing. He's been so concerned about me this whole time, and during this breakdown, he just held my hand and consoled me, told me he felt helpless. He's very good at being there for me emotionally. I'm very lucky.
OH! I remembered! He cleaned up all the dishes after dinner on Sunday night. He usually just goes right to work after dinner and I clean up everything. I was putting away laundry and came downstairs and the kitchen was clean!
I was home sick from work today, and he brought me home a tea & donut on his lunch and then looked at the my list of to-do things I had written yesterday and did them all for me.
I've been having bad stomach issues lately so he spent hours last night giving me lots of rubs to help me relax and be more comfortable. I get rubs every night before I fall asleep but he was DILIGENT about it last night!
We've been in a really good place since the baby. It's terrible, but I was miserable pregnant, and now looking back, definitely depressed. I feel like I'm my own person again, it's wonderful.
We're communicating better than before and really just having a lot of fun.

I'm glad to be out of the funk.
I really like hearing this because that is how I feel now, if it wasn't apparent. I feel like my poor H is stuck with this weird sad version of me. I cannot wait to have fun and feel human again.
He brought home my favorite flowers on Friday just because.
He has agreed to go back to school and stop bouncing from job to job. He seems to have some hope again and this makes him easier to live with which in turn makes my life easier too. Lol!
tonight, he made dinner while i was at work and put aside a plate for me because he knew i'd get home and be absolutely ravenous.
he's also been unfailingly calm and supportive when i've cried and/or ranted about the reno/spider veins/all of L's wee baby clothes i can't bring myself to part with/my face/being huge/annoying supplements/bad drivers/people who shove their work onto me at the last minute/that target commercial where the kids get into college.
i'm exhausting. and i know it. and i can't stop myself. and yet he's there for me.
He's giving up his guy's Wednesday tomorrow because I'll be stuck in court all day and not able to get home to meet DS and the school bus.
He brought me a cup of hot tea today while I was stuck on the phone with a client who talked and cried non stop without me saying a word for half an hour after I told her her appeal had been denied and she had, indeed, permanently lost her parental rights. Then he took out out to lunch.
He goes out of his way to bring up the fact that we are about to get married to every single person he sees which, really, is kind of obnoxious, but so endearing at the same time.
He acquiesced this weekend and agreed that we needed that bluegrass band at our wedding reception instead of using the ipod.

FI's been conceding to the idea of getting more involved in our real estate appraisal work from home even though he's not that crazy about it. He studied voice and opera, but is making some sacrifices so that we can save up money this year for a potential down payment on a house after the wedding.
I can't even say how much I immensely appreciate him.
