Today marks my 28th week of pregnancy and we took some time out tonight to partake in some celebrating, thanks to my husband. When I arrived home from work, Jeff awaited me with sparkling cider (and yes, poured into a champagne flute!). Once our drinks were finished, we ventured out for a fabulous dinner, another surprise. It was a special touch I very much appreciated. Carrying our child is something I have enjoyed to the absolute fullest, but it means so much when your husband acknowledges the effort involved. Jeff shows gratitude to me regularly for having our baby and it makes me feel so special, so loved. It's fun to joke about hoping for this or that-rewards of sorts-from my hubby for any little step I take in my pregnancy, but the truth is that in those steps, I do feel a great sense of pride. So when those "rewards" come in whatever form (a card, a thank you, a kiss, sparkling cider dolled up to seem like champagne, a nice dinner to start a new trimester), they feel good and bring a smile to my face. But nothing can hold a candle to the love I receive daily from the best person I know, and next to the life I grow inside of me, he is my true reward.
Sometimes time seems like it's flying and other times, knowing that there are still three months to go can seem like an eternity until we get to meet this baby of ours. Thank you all for sharing in our experience by reading this blog. We are so looking forward to the joys of parenthood and having you along with us on the journey we've taken to get there has been wonderful.
