See...I Really Do Only Blog When I'm Pregnant

I can't let this pregnancy go completely undocumented.  To our surprise, It took over a year to get pregnant after the miscarriage.  My thoughts have changed so much on that whole experience over the past year and a half.  So much so, I'll have to save that for another post.  This will be just a timid tip toe back into the blogging world. As always, pregnancy makes me a bit crazy and emotional and in the past, this blog has proven to be a nice outlet for all my random thoughts.


Speaking of being emotional...

A crazy thing happened the other night while I was sitting on the couch kind of watching T.V. and kind of internet surfing, and kind of sipping hot chocolate and completely making Jimmy crazy with this behavior.  Just a typical week night when out of the blue Jimmy said something to the effect of, "All this must seem really daunting.  You know, with your back hurting so bad and Thanksgiving coming up, then Erica's wedding and Christmas, and then the baby. And with you not feeling well, I bet it just seems overwhelming, huh?" 
*insert scratching record sound * WAIT. BACK UP NOW. WHAT DID HE JUST SAY?
Seriously, I love my husband, but he's not really the sensitive, makes astute observations about my emotional well being and initiates conversations about them type. I can't tell you how amazing it felt to hear that from him.  As soon as he said it, it's like I felt strangely validated for having all these emotions that I hadn't quite figured out myself. Did someone give him a book or something? If so, thank you. But I have a feeling I just married a good one.
