i want to start off this post praising david.. this weekend i broke down in tears telling him how overwhelmed i felt.. he showed sympathy and laid off the to do list.. he spent all day yesterday finishing his own to do list and more than half of mine! leaving the things that i can only do.. like go find a coccyx cushion for my horrible coccyx (tailbone) pain.. he cleaned the entire apartment.. did all the laundry.. he did so much yesterday on his paid holiday.. he didn't have to.. but did because he wanted to make sure i wasn't stressing out too much.. is that not the greatest husband or what?!
i don't show him enough appreciation.. i was overwhelmed on saturday and became quite agitated with him because he was trying to help me while i was getting ready to meet up with his college friends.. i am very particular when it comes to things.. he doesn't do things the way i normally would want them done.. after about 10mins of me stressing out i realized.. what's the point?! he is only trying to help.. he's only trying to make my life easier.. just because he doesn't do things the way **i would** have done them, doesn't mean i should stress out about it.. i was just overwhelmed and felt like everything was closing down on me.. today, not so much.. i should be oh so grateful i even have a husband who does so much housework around the house without making me feel like i complete failure as a housewife.. david has never once complained having to do the dishes.. or laundry.. he does it with a smile and lots of affection.. he does it because he cares. (just for the record.. i hate how he loads the dishwasher lol.. but i have gotten better about accepting it and leaving it alone.. if i wanted the dishwasher "properly" loaded i should have done it myself.. nuff said). the point is.. i need to sit back and relax when he does my chores for me.. the fact he doesn't have to do them and does them with a smile on his face means i should get over it the petty crap and be thankful that david cares enough to help! same with our kids.. i know for a fact they won't clean like i want them too.. i don't want them to feel like i don't appreciate their help.. i will just have to be happy they are helping and secretly redo what i didn't like lmao..
i still have lots to do on my to do list.. thankfully it isn't as much as it was before.. we canceled our gym membership this weekend.. i was shocked how sad i was about it.. when our kids are older and can enjoy the gym, we will rejoin.. until then, we save $100 a month!
FOUR more days until we leave for germany!!!! i would be lying if i didn't admit that i am still freaking out about flying :o). i know why i am freaking out more than usual this time.. it's because of ashton.. i feel like it took us for-ever to get pregnant with him and now that i am more than half way done with this pregnancy, something is going to happen (i.e. a plane crash) where i will never get to meet him and be a mom.. it's an irrational thought, no doubt about it.. but i can't help the way i feel.. i am still more than excited to be heading to germany though.. omg i can't wait.. my family makes me feel so calm and put together.. plus the food.. omg.. i can't wait for the FOOOOOD! baby ashton can't wait either lol! it's the perfect time since his taste buds are working now.. he can taste my food through the amniotic fluid.. i love this boy so much.. i wish he was here in the outside world to experience our trip with us.. but there will always be other trips for him to enjoy and explore! i am just impatient! it will be our last vacation together without kids..
baby ashton is still as active as ever.. always moving.. yesterday while watching DEAL or NO DEAL i felt him have hiccups for the first time.. david felt it too.. so stinking cute! (btw can you believe someone FINALLY won the $1million?! crazzzzzzzy).. david put together the baby's amby bed yesterday afternoon.. he wanted to see it all put together.. we decided to just leave it up and not take it down.. so, now we have the empty amby bed sitting in our bedroom.. we had to put our bedroom chair in storage to make room for it.. david loves messing with it.. i have a toy that makes noise hanging from the bar as sort of a mobile for ashton to focus on.. david is always messing with it lol.. he is so excited.. i can't stop messing with it either.. this amby bed seriously rocks.. i wish they made adult size amby beds..
i think it's time to finally do a belly shot.. i haven't done one in forever! i have a real baby bump now! it's awesome. i am going to be HUGE when the 8th month rolls around.. lol.. i started off slow but now my belly is getting bigger by the day! my clothes still fit, so neener neener! i promise i will post a belly picture TO-DAY..
