It's typical to hear of wives asking their husbands on a continuous basis to help out around the house. "Can you PLEASE pick up the house?" or "Can you PLEASE help with the dishes?" is only a glimpse of the types of requests that are typical in any given houshold. I'm not saying that all men are like that, it's just more common.
My scenario, however, is much different. My husband, Peter, LOVES to clean. You'll catch him vacuuming at midnight just in case I go into labor that night and he can't get it done the next day. He's the type where I have to ask him, "Honey, can you please NOT straighten the pillows tonight?" or "Can you take a week off in washing the sheets?". How I got so lucky to find a man that won't LET me do the laundry is beyond me, but I thank God for him. He's been my constant and my knight in shining armor and he's the best husband and dad any girl could ask for!
Oh, Angela, how precious she is! We are thrilled for you and, certainly, share your joy. And, yes, you are blessed to have such a helpful husband. (Mine vacuums and does laundry, too!) Keep enjoying every minute! Love, Barb Gromer

Angela,
ReplyDeleteYou have been in our thoughts and prayers especially in April and May. My Katie's birthday is 04/25, so we were thinking of you around her birthday and beyond. We are so thrilled for you and your new expanded family. It is a wonderful journey. The only thing that stays the same is, as soon as you get "it" figured out, "it" will change!!! We are so glad she arrived safely, and you are doing well. I, too, had plans for my deliveries, but God had other plans. The goal is safe baby, safe Mommy. God's blessings on your family.
Steve, Rhonda, Kelsie, Sarah, Stephanie and Katherine!!
You are very blessed! Very glad you are so happy, & you have a great husband ... it's wonderful that God knows exactly what we need! ;)
ReplyDeletePeter, you look pretty comfy being dad! Your cat doesn't necessarily look all that pleased about Mara, but then what do cats know anyway? (he looks so much like our cat -- but ours has a black goattee-type chin)
ReplyDeleteAnyway hope you guys are all doing ok and getting into the groove of things.
