OK--so I KNOW I haven't been the easiest to live with this pregnancy. The first trimester was a roller coaster of exhaustion and nausea. We had some relief from month four through the third week in November--then we got hit with the whole "signs of premature labor" drama that pretty much knocked me out of being much help around the house at all, including being able to pick up Charlie Mac at all for about three weeks until things settled down again. I still can't hold him for more than a few seconds, but I keep trying (I know, I know--I'm not supposed to). On top of all of this greatness, I've become a slave to the most vicious mood swings--I am like a toddler myself; if I am tired or hungry--watch out! It's truly embarrassing!
Bradley has trooped right through it. He has always been a very hands-on daddy--which wasn't so easy with the school and work schedule he's had--but during the first trimester and now he is doing almost everything. He's the one who gets up as early as 4:30 with Charlie Mac and fixes us all breakfast. When we get home from work he's the one who's bathing, dressing and reading stories to Charlie Mac while I sit nearby. He's the one who fixes our supper while I sit nearby, often grumpy. He's the one who has rearranged all the furniture and built the nursery. He's the one who patiently waits for Hurricane Mood Swing to pass on over and somehow manages to love me just as much--and for all this I love him even more.
Thank you Bradley!! You are the best husband and father in the world!!!!

Not surprisingly Bradley will calmly, patiently and gladly do what needs to be done. He is so blessed with his family and obviously takes great joy in taking care of you all. I didn't know you were having a rough time, so will pray that these last weeks before we meet Willa Ann are easier for you. ~Sandy
