Husbands sacrifice just as much when their wives are pregnant!

This morning I awoke at 3:30 and could not go back to bed, I attribute it my pregnancy but regardless I started thinking. Women while pregnant constantly make comments like "well if I can carry a baby you can _____". But seriously, we should all stop and think because think of all the sacrifices that they too are making while we are pregnant. My sweet husband gets into bed every night dressed like it is 30 degrees in the house, because his wife has the AC down low and the 52" inch fan on high, he could fuss and fret and turn the air up but he just accomodates himself for me.

This pregnancy my hormones have been relatively stable except for last Sunday! By Sunday evening I had gotten a total of 8 hours of sleep in 72 hours and was just a GROUCH to be around. We went to the park with friends and I maybe said 5 words the whole time we were there (I know a record for me), because I was in such a mood. I had something to gripe about every 3 seconds and kept telling him that I was not upset with him...just the world. To which he hilariously replied "Well I can take you to HEB and let you, let them have it". I of course did find that funny. My sweet and gracious husband just dealt with it until we pulled into the driveway ....where I griped that our grass was too green! WHAT?! Are you kidding me?.....no seriously I am not; I litereally said "Why is our grass so stinking green?" Looking back I don't know how he didn't just loose it on me. Instead, He calmy said why don't you go inside take a shower and lay down for a bit, to which I replied by stomping!

I realized I was being no better than our three year old when she is disciplined! I apologized profoundly and had a much nicer outlook on the world!

But seriously our husbands suffer and sacrifice just as much as we do when we are pregnant, they just seem to handle it with so much more grace and ease than we do at times. Women expect tolkens of gratitude when they have babies...and if you are my neighbor you are blessed with gifts from Tiffany's (seriously), but I think it is time the women turn the table and get their husbands gifts when it is all over, because they have worked just as hard to survive 9 months as us!
