Matt has made it a point to be at all my recent doctors visits. I told someone last week that he is my natural blood pressure-reducing medicine. I get a lot of anxiety going to my OB and just having him in the room puts me at ease. During our visit to L&D on Tuesday night, we were laughing so hard I was afraid Luke's monitors were going to slip off my belly. We've been together for ten years and I'd rather be with Matt than any where else. He calms me. He's reassuring. He will "pat" me out of the blue just to let me know he's there. He talks to my belly by quoting Darth Vader from star wars. This weekend he has been on "single-parent" duty and has not complained once. I've watched from my room as he's swept up after the kids have eaten, fixed them snacks, heard his undeniable laughter as he watched cartoons with the kids, started the washing machine (which I didn't even know he knew how to do - he's in trouble now!). This isn't the first time our marriage vows have been tested and I am so thankful that when we said I do to each other, we meant it for life. No take-backs. In sickness and in health. On bedrest or on vacation. Whether I haven't brushed my hair in days or if I look like a beauty queen. We will always faithfully be there for each other. I think the best gift Luke is getting from me is who God chose to be his daddy. Luke's going to love having Matt. And Matt's going to love him completely. I am so thankful for him, his unconditional love for us all, and his calming affect on me.
