We are quickly approaching the day where Celie will make her debut. I can tell you that my heart is already so full; there is nothing like watching a little one grow inside of you.
Having a baby is one of the most wonderful, difficult, amazing, fulfilling journeys a person can venture through and I can't believe I get to do this all again. I remember so clearly the moment Penelope was born. I saw my husband with new eyes. It was like our honeymoon, but ten thousand times better.
Speaking of my husband, I need to tell you how amazing that man is to me. Here are some of the reasons why he is the best husband the planet:
-He is patient and kind and slow to anger.
-He will run to the grocery store in the middle of the night to get me (I say it's for Celie) ravioli.
-He is amazing with Penelope. He loves her more than I've ever seen a man love his little girl.
-He lets me sleep in. He will wake up and get Penelope and hang with her in the morning.
-I'm a little ashamed to admit this, but the two times I've ever gotten up to get her out of her crib in the middle of the night, DJ was out of town. Umm...please don't hate me! :) But hey, I did nurse her for a year...that counts for something, right!?!?
-I've only taken out the garbage once in our whole marriage.
-He rubs my feet...every single day. I don't even ask.
-He treats my family well.
-Almost three years of marriage later and I still get butterflies in my stomach every day.
-He makes me laugh...even when I try so hard not to.
-Let's face it, he is a good-looking man.
-He loves me...with all of my faults.
-He asks the tough questions with me. I've never felt like I'm trying to figure this stuff out by myself.
I know what you're thinking. "What the crap does she do if he does all that???" I hope that I love him the way he loves me. I hope that I treat Penelope the way he does.
I am so excited to meet the rest of our family. Celie has the most amazing dad and big sister. I can't wait for her to meet them!
