A couple weeks ago...

This is what I had written before I had a baby:

A ray of sunshine in this dark, cold place... when my husband shows up where I work, notices I'm wearing the earrings he bought for me in Hawaii, tells me I look pretty, and then gives me the fruit snacks he just bought at my till.  :-)

And when he comes to have a breakfast date with me.  Those are my favorite days.

Also he was being cute the other morning (I talk about him like he's my kid... although sometimes I do feel like more of a mother-figure than I'd like to be... hehe).  He asked me if it's not too early for me to make the baby come out, because he wants his baby already.
He read the Husband-Coached Childbirth and now considers himself to be in charge of telling me how to prepare for labor, and what to do when I'm in labor.
I think it's so sweet how concerned and sincere he is--he called me up in the middle of the night to tell me about all these exercises I should be doing, and wanted to make sure I know what they are and how to do them:

Husband: "...do some hip stretches... and stretch your pelvic bone..."
Me: "Uh-huh."
Husband: "Do you know what pelvis rocking is?"
Me: :-) "Yes, Dear."
Husband: "Okay,then do it before you go to bed.  And you need to learn how to relax all the way so that the baby can come out.  So, practice that, too."
Me: "Yes, Dear."
Husband: "And are you doing your Kegels?"
Me: "Yes, Dear."
Husband: "Okay, because that will make it easier for him to come out."

And he still calls the umbilical cord a USB cord sometimes.

I don't argue with him about any of it because I think it's just so sweet!

Anyway.  Life is pretty uncomfortable right now... Mostly because of the baby.  And freaking North Dakota's winter.  But on the bright side, this is the third time I've been right in the middle of some kind of flu outbreak since I got here, and not even been phased by it.  Pretty sure this baby is making me healthier.

And then I had a baby.  And he's cute.  I'll have pictures in another post, I think.
