A little time for my husband

I've been thinking about how much attention the husband gets when having a baby...it isn't a lot.  He doesn't look any different and it doesn't change how he feels physically so most, if not all, the attention goes to the wife.  Well, that is just not very fair to me because my husband has changed a lot.  He surprises me every day with how attentive he is to me and how responsible he has become.  Not that he wasn't these things before but they have magnified because of the situation.  Joe takes better care of me than I ever thought.  He takes his role as husband and father very seriously and I am the luckiest woman in the world to have married him.  Up until about a week ago I really didn't even go into the kitchen, I couldn't stand the smells.  The dishwasher stunk, what ever was cooking didn't smell good and Hamilton's food is in the kitchen and that was the worst of all.  So Joey has been so great at taking care of the cooking and dishes, he also is the Hamilton feeder.  He does all the little things that help make this process a little easier.  Now that I am feeling better and have gone 13 days without being sick I have been helping a little more but nothing compared to what Joe has had to do for the last 14 weeks.  He was been so amazing and I just think the husband needs a little credit for all he does during a pregnancy as well.

Yep, yep, yep. But let me tell you, it's nothing compared to how they are AFTER the baby is born. It's even better. It's just that now it's just the two of you, and it's that sweet little honeymoon. That time was so precious for us, and I'll always treasure those memories.

Joe - you da man.
