Bragging on my husband

It's no secret. I love this face:

Beard or no beard, he is one attractive man. But that is not what I am bragging about today.

Today I want to focus on how he looks out for me. I was really sad after my last doctor appointment. The techs messed up and took my GD test late and implied that because I did not do an optional thing I may fail the test. I also found out that I had gained a lot of weight. That alone is an ouch, but I gained double what I should've. So the doctor did talk to me about it.

Jameson, as always was very positive and continued telling me all day how beautiful I am and that I am pregnant and not in control of everything. But knowing I wouldn't let it go he has done his homework. He came home from Target the other night and told me about some meal options that would help me make better choices without skimping on my attempt at meeting my protein goals. He has suggested ideas and very...very selflessly has offered to finish off the caramel corn ;)

But it isn't just his thoughtfulness away from the house and constant compliments. It is his time. Yesterday (day after my appointment) I asked if he would be up to watching Chloe at the park while I did the big loop (3.1 miles). He is really stressed with finals next week and said he wouldn't be sure. I could see he needed space so I packed a bag and got Chloe ready to take her on the walk with me. He immediately stopped and said he would come with me, but to walk with me!

Two days in a row he has stopped what he is doing, helps me get Chloe out the door and walks with me. He could stay home and play games, do homework, sleep, read, blog, any number of things that would be enjoyable! But he puts me first. Today he even said that he likes going on the walks with me because it gets us out. Which is a huge thing for him to say because he has always made fun of me because he says there are walks and then there are my (Becky) walks. He prefers the former :)

In a life full of husbandly, school, personal endeavors, fatherly duties, Jameson still takes time to be a friend. And it takes me back to dating...walking around Provo just getting to know each other, loving just listening to him, watching what makes him smile... COMPOUNDED with joy by watching him laugh just as hard as Chloe when they swing together or beaming at her when she does something new.

Jameson, February 15, 2009, I thought I loved you then.
