As my husband and I expectantly prepare for the joys of parenthood, one of the truths that hit home again and again, is that our true love continues to be each other. We’ve been discussing about children and how they play a wonderful role in our lives, and yet, we’ve also been discussing that the focus of our relationship does not change.
The other day, worn out after a day at work as well as carrying my now-obviously-pregnant tummy, I crashed, literally plonked myself in an undignified manner, onto the bed. Always on the alert, my husband cautioned me against lying down so rashly. Promptly, I had a rejoinder: You only care about the baby and not me!
The moment I said it, I was filled with a sense of confusion and shame. This was our baby and so what? The baby needed all the love and care that we could provide.
And like always, my darling had a classic statement of love: It has always been and will be you first and then the baby.
I’ve known it and I know it but in that moment of utter fatigue, hearing those words made all the difference to me.
Thank you, my dear.
And here's the latest update on our baby:
