I am sure anyone that knows Jeff and I, knows very well that we are not big people at all. He is maybe an inch taller than me. Anyway, he will never have to be pregnant, that's my job! Anyway, we're still due for a little boy which will now be here mid-October.
And, because of my petite size, this comes with many perks, and not so perkish things. Yesterday morning around 4am, I shot up like a bullet because of the horrendous pains in my lower abdomen. I woke up Jeff to tell him. Poor guy, he was so groggy. Now, I also leep like a rock, so being that I woke up out of my sleep to such intense pain, was not good. In short, I stayed home from work, and when it started progressing, called Jeff home after talking to my nurse and telling me to go and get looked at, just to play it safe.(Luckily he had finally given me his office # on base so I could actually call him!) So, Jeff and I got in the car, and made the very short drive to the small town of Silverdale. Where the closest non-military hospital is. Once I told them what was going on, they immediately rushed me uptairs. (Oh, and my doctor labeled me a high risk pregnancy as well this last week)
Poor Jeff, gets in there. And he is absolutely freezing. I was in the hospital bed just watching the monitors and things that they had me hooked up to. While Jeff continued to freeze, I mentioned how my feet were really cold. He immediately climbs on the bed, sitcks my sheet covered feet inbetween his lower thighs trying to warm them up, he even blew hot air on them, hoping that would work. Haha. He did what he could to make sure I was comfortable. Even offering to make a trip to Spiros to save me from hospital food. We came home, and it took me a while to feel better. I think he was scared, just was trying not to show it too much, in my favor.
I'm just happy he ws so quick in response to my calling him at work, and he was home so fast. And when we came home, he was the one outside grilling up dinner while I lazily laid on the couch. He's just awesome in so many aspects. He was so quick to get me anything I needed when I spent what seemed like endless hours hurling my guts out with this kiddo at the beginning. I feel blessed to have someone who cares that much about not only about me, but about my daughter too. And, now our son. Who only responds to Jeff's voice mainly. It's too funny! Think when I say my prayers next, I'll have to add a thank you for Jeff.
What a sweet blog to your honey. He really does sound really wonderful. I'm so happy for you. And I'm glad you realize how blessed you are. I'm happy to hear that your safe at home and not in the hospital.
