Oh so humble

So this Friday my husband went to a research convention up in Huntsville and won first prize for the research he did over the summer. So another prize to put on his resume when applying for residency. Way to go! That's not really why I'm writing. What really impresses me is that later that night he offered to sleep on the couch so I could have the whole bed to myself, because I've been sleeping very poorly lately. After telling him no and letting him come to bed I realized only a few minutes later that hey, I really do sleep better alone. So I asked him if the offer for him to sleep on the couch was still up and because he is so sweet he slept on the couch. What a champ. After winning research awards he is still humble enough to sleep on the couch for his pregnant wife. He definitely knows what's important! I really do have the best husband ever.

I Did It

I did it, I carried a baby to term. Go me! I am awesome! Now that I have accomplished this mighty feat I'd like to have my baby now. I know that's a bad attitude to have but I'm tired of picking things up with my feet because it hurts to bend over. I"m also tired of going to the bathroom every 5 minutes. And I'm really excited to have my baby. Since my husband nested for me I"m all ready for this little guy to come. However, he seems to be quite comfortable where he is even though I'm already 3 cm dilated. Granted I will miss being spoiled by my husband because he feels bad for me if only that would carry on after the baby comes. If only I could have it both ways. Not that I"m never spoiled but it certianly has been easier to be me lately.

A New Trick

Last night while my husband and I were getting our daughter ready for bed she discovered something. She can take off her pajama bottoms all by herself. The only problem is she can't get them back on. So she spent the better part of 10 minutes running around the apartment in her diaper and pajama top waving her pants in the air. She must have really been impressed with herself. Oh and after I showed her how to put them back on she insisted on pulling them up herself, and thus letting her back side hang out of her pants. There is never a dull moment with this child.

Way to Go!

I have to brag about my husband for just a second. Yesterday he won a research prize at his school for the research he did over the summer! He got a pretty blue ribbon and a plaque with his name on it and everything. He also gets a little bit of money which is nice seeing as we're in lots of debt for medical school and he impressed the head of the research department so much he offered my husband to spend a whole year doing research! Granted it would take an extra year to graduate, but it's still very flattering. I'm so proud. He's a pretty great guy and not only because he wins prizes.

My daughter has found her new favorite word, no. She says no to everything. I'll ask her for a hug, no. I'll ask her if I can do her hair, no. I'll ask her if she me to read to her, no. I'll ask her if she needs her diaper changed, no (this usually isn't true because I can smell her across the room). I'll ask her if she wants a treat, YES. At least I know she understands. Now the trick is getting her to say yes to more than just a treat. I don't think its going to happen anytime soon.
