Change of subject

I have always used this blog in the past to post about infertility, pregnancy, and all the exciting things with Jude. I just wanted to change the topic for  one post. now don't worry I'm going political on you lol. I just wanted to acknowledge my husband. Alan is such a driving force in my life but he doesn't get acknowledged enough. When we were struggling to conceive he was my backbone. He was there for me every-time I needed a shoulder to cry on and most of the time he was ready and in waiting before I even knew I was needing it. Since I have become pregnant I have had a few scares mainly when we thought we were losing Jude at 7 weeks, and some scared with my sugar before I was adjusted to the medication. He was always there in protector mode ready to do whatever I needed. And now as we near the end of pregnancy he is always helping me out. He helps me out around the house how ever he can( though i'm officially nesting and I tend to be a bit picky lol). Like today I was so tired but the bathroom had to be cleaned. Well I hate to ask for his help because he already works 6 days a week and his only day off if Sunday. Well he came in and found me sitting there more then a little exasperated. While alot of men would have left me there to clean it, he jumped right in told me to go sit down and rest and literally did more then I planned and scrubbed the bathroom down. He is getting used to me starting jobs and getting to tired to finish but he willingly takes over without a even a hint of frustration. I know he didn't want to spend his sunday afternoon cleaning out the closet, but he jumped right in to help me. 
          In the begining of he pregnancy he was leary about it. Not that he was not excited but to be honest he just didn't seem as interested. I think it was just a fear/nerves because it didn't seem real after all the years of trying. But now I love when he's walking with me in the store, I turn to talk to him only to see I lost him back in the baby section looking at things for Jude. I love hearing him talk about our future. About taking Jude to the park, watching grow up. 
       The point is( especially now in my sometimes hormone filled rants) I forget how blessed I REALLY am. I'm so thankful for such a loving, affectionate, caring husband. I know without a doubt I can always count on him and he will always be there to fight for me and our little family. I'm lucky to have him as a husband/partner for life, and Jude is blessed to have him as a daddy.

           We love you so much Alan <3
