I haven't been the easiest person to live with lately so here's a post dedicated to the person who is always patient and loving with my emotional monster self.
The other night, we were dissembling a curtain rod (long story).
A short while after, Chas calls to me from the living room.
This is what I see when I come in.
Exactly.

During my first trimester, I felt really nauseous in the mornings and the only thing that helped would be to eat something quickly. So Chas started bringing me a bowl of cereal right when I woke up so I wouldn't even have to leave the bed before I got some food down.
The morning sickness is long gone but Chas is still bringing me breakfast.
Every morning, he wakes up and gets ready for work. Then he gently wakes me and asks what kind of cereal I want today. Before long, he's back with two bowls and together, we sit in bed and eat our breakfast.
Not sure if there's a more glorious way to start each day.

We're gearing up for a natural birth.
Part of the prep is practicing deep relaxation exercises.

At night, especially when I can't get comfortable enough to fall asleep, Chas helps me meditate.
He'll remind me to breathe deeply and then he'll take me on what we call a "meditation journey."
He makes up great, relaxing, darling stories for me to focus on and, within minutes, I'm asleep.
During last night's meditation journey, I was taking little cryings for a stroll and then ended up in a magical forest.

And, perhaps most importantly, he lets me do some good crying whenever I need to.
(Which has been pretty often the last two weeks. Third trimester hormones have been a doozy so far.)
So thank you, Chas.
I love you.
