I'm a Believer!

  I know I tend to excessively drone on about how amazing and wonderful my husband is. But you wouldn't believe how incredibly blessed I am to have him. The first year of our marriage was hard, as most marriages are. But since I've been pregnant, things have gotten easier and so much happier/ nicer. I feel so much closer to him every day.
  Being 9 months pregnant now, my body hurts all the time. I get these wonderful (sarcasm) groin pains where the tendon or the muscle or something down there spasms uncontrollably and often hurts so badly that if I'm standing up, my knees go weak and once in a while I crumple to my knees. I have a bit of a hard time sleeping due to preggo bladder and aches and pains throughout the night. My belly and ribs hurt from being kicked. The list goes on (I hope it didn't sound complainy. That's really part of what I actually have to go through.) But on rough nights like last night, my poor husband gets woken up every time I wake up from me tossing and turning to get comfortable, getting up to go to the bathroom for the 5th time, or when I whimper in pain in my sleep. I feel so bad when I wake him up, but he always handles it with so much grace and selflessness. Last night I woke up first because my hips hurt, so I had to turn to my other side (which takes a lot of effort and time). I kind of grunted a little because it hurt and Corry wakes up and sweetly asks if I need a pillow to put between my knees to take pressure off my hips. So he handed me a pillow, gave me a kiss and asked if I was okay. Then he went back to sleep and so did I.
  Soon after that I woke up again for the same reason plus a contraction. I got on my elbows and knees to get through the contraction pain. I thought I was being really quiet, but sure enough Corry turns over in bed and puts a hand on my back, rubbing my back gently and asks again if I'm okay. I get through the contraction with his help and when another one doesn't come I lay on my side and he once again kisses my head but then pulls me close and cuddles me to him. We fall asleep again, and after a couple more times of this same thing, I wake up a few hours later having to go to the bathroom. It's very hard for me to get out of bed by myself, but I wanted to try so I wouldn't wake him up. After 5 minutes of breathing through it and only managing to get to my knees, I feel a hand on my back and a hand take mine and pull me up out of bed. I go to the bathroom and come back to bed. Once again he asks "are you okay?", kisses my head and goes back to sleep. There was a lot of this last night. But instead of getting frustrated or letting me get through it on my own, he woke up with me every time I woke up and helped me, made sure I was okay, and kissed my head. Then the alarm went off at 7, and I was beyond nauseous and hurting. I was trying to breathe through it. My sweet husband rolls over and wraps his arms around me and kisses my head saying "Shh, it's okay I've got you." And massages my back a little, kissing my head.
  Seriously, probably mushy to you. But really, this is amazing.  I love my husband so much and I am so grateful for how amazing he is to me. I'm a very strong believer that my husband was meant to be a husband and a father. When we were first married, I have to admit that among all the hard times between us, I questioned if we weren't meant to be married. I questioned whether or not he was cut out to be a dad and father and whether I was cut out to be a mom and wife. But it's amazing what kinds of things and miracles can happen when you work hard and remember how much you love each other. It's also amazing what kind of miracles a pregnancy and baby can bring into your marriage.
  I am truly blessed. Just a few more weeks. I can't wait to see my husband hold our son for the first time.
