Husband

This is Rachel. I just wanted to make a quick blog to record a little bit about how good my husband is. Rob is the best ever, and I don't want to forget the little things that he does for me to make me comfortable and happy, especially during pregnancy. Here are just a few examples of the ways Rob takes care of me:
  • Last night, I couldn't fall asleep for the longest time, and couldn't get my mind to relax. That has happened almost never since being married, but when it does happen, it's super frustrating and the frustration makes it harder to relax. Finally, around 2am, I woke him up and told him I couldn't sleep. He got out of bed, turned on the AC, got me an extra pillow, and scratched and rubbed my back and head. Then, he kindly rambled on about boring things like video games and Lord of the Rings (at my request) until I fell asleep. It took about an hour. 
  • Woke up this morning to him cooking me breakfast, and right after we were done with that, he made me a lunch, too. 
  • He is doing basically ALL of the packing and cleaning to get ready for our move while I'm at work, following detailed to-do lists from his control freak wife.
  • He taught our lesson by himself on Sunday when I wasn't feeling great, and he's just so good at teaching-- he's way into the Old Testament and knows so many extra things about each lesson. He's definitely an entertaining teacher and has really good insights. He is a good spiritual leader in our home.
  •  Every morning, he wakes up early and lets me sleep longer while he gets ready, then comes and wakes me up. I don't think I've had to set my own alarm clock since we've been married.
  • He rubs my feet and belly with cocoa butter every night.
  • He humors me when I tell him to "look at my belly!" Usually by the time I can say that, my belly has stopped moving, but I still tell him to look all the time.
  • He goes walking with me even though it's not a workout at all for him.
  • He also surprises me with treats!
  • He's always willing to do whatever he can to make me comfortable when I'm not feeling great, by giving massages and taking care of things so I can relax.
Anyway, hope that wasn't TMI, but I am just so lucky to have such a loving and giving husband!

That's so sweet! Looks like you've got yourself a good one! That's so important though when you're pregnant- you deserve that special treatment because it's not easy or comfortable.

Awww! I love that he woke up to make you comfortable at 2am. And it cracked me up that you asked him to talk to you about video games and Lord of the Rings. HAHAH!

This one cracks me up, since Rob and I have definitely had some moves like that!
