My Support :-)

I had to write this in my blog to one day look back and reflect on because it was just too cute!!

Yesterday on my way to visit my dad in the hospital (he had minor surgery) I was on the phone with Dennard. I was experiencing, yet again, another bout of bad cramping.
(I had the worst cramping to date on Tuesday night after prenatal class. It lasted quite some time as was very strong)

Ever since Tuesday, I've experiencing cramping on and off throughout my day and evenings. They always seen to get more intense in the evenings for some reason though; not quite sure why?

Anyhow, I was talking to Dennard about the cramping and he said to me:

"Not to worry sweets! The cramping is completely normal. They are going to get worse closer to the baby's due date. Is it cramping you feel or contractions? Make sure you know the difference! You need to be making a mental note of the intensity of the pain and if it increases. If it starts to increase, make sure you start to time the cramps because it could be early contractions. If it is, then we need to time them and see how far apart they are....etc"

It was the absolute cutest thing to hear! I was smiling and giggling on the phone when he was talking. He sounded like a doctor with all his medical talk!!! lol
He heard me giggling and said "are you laughing at me?". I couldn't help but tell him how sweet I thought it was that he knew all of this!!! He laughed. I could hear him smiling grin to grin on the other end of the phone :-)

He said that the prenatal classes really helped him. He said "I learned A LOT in our prenatal classes! I would have never have known about the cramping/contraction thing and timing how far apart they are, or what labour really is or what I can do to help you when in labour. These classes really helped me. " That just melted my heart.

I am a softy to begin with, lol, but to hear him say that just melted my heart even more. He said to me over dinner last night too, out of the blue, just how much he enjoyed Tuesday's 'Daddy & Me' class.  Awwwwh!! :-)  hee hee  I think he's going to miss our classes just as much as me; however, he wont admit it! lol

Dennard has retained more in these classes than I ever thought or imagined he would. There are things he has caught in some of the classes that I missed :-O  lol 

He has been more than a support to me this entire pregnancy. I can't speak highly enough about him; really!!!  He has been so encouraging, supportive, loving, caring and sensitive. He has been more than I could have ever expected or wanted when I found out we were expecting!

I am so privileged to have him as the daddy of my precious little one!!!!! I don't know who's luckier; me to have him as my husband or my child to have him as their daddy :)
