And the ‘Greatest Husband in the Universe Award’ goes to…

My very own hubby, Kent!

Now that I’m officially one month away from my due date, it seems like the flood gates of pregnancy hell have given way and finally broken down. To all those negative Nelly’s that sought out my woes and pains for their own sick pleasure (and you know who you are!!!)…here’s to you:

I’ve finally (somewhat) succumbed to putting my positive, sunny attitude to the wayside and accepted the fact that I am on the verge of “popping” and not very comfortable. I hate to say this since I’m afraid that (dare I say) my negative thoughts might manifest into actual negative actions and behavior. But, I want to ‘keep it real’ and not appear to be in some crazy dreamworld of unicorns, rainbows, and sunshine where 'everything's great' and 'everything's perfect'. I DO NOT want to be one of those people.

So, for my recent third trimester checkpoint of new and interesting quirks and pains, I've been realizing that the immense pressure in my pelvis (since the baby has "dropped" and is essentially 'locked and loaded'...), my lower back has also been suffering as a result. My poor hubby, on the other hand, has it much worse than me since he gets to be the one listening to all my whining and complaining... :).

I came home today unfortunately in "one of my moods" (I had road rage...not to make an excuse...), and rather than taking the easy road of lashing back at me, he has been the ultimate sweetheart. He helped me upstairs and told me he had a present. A "happy early birthday" for babymo since her due date is exactly one month away. The first thing I thought was that he bought me a king size bag of peanut m&m's (don't ask me why, I know I'm crazy...), but instead, this is what I saw:

A freaking massage chair!!! He had gone on his lunch break today (apparently after doing extensive research) and bought this chair to be able to comfortably massage me. Since I can no longer lie on my stomach or side or any other angle, massages have been an impossible task. This chair is a God-sent since I can sit upright and let my big ol' belly hang out and not get squished. So, in addition to his AMAZING and THOUGHTFUL gift, he gave me THE BEST back massage ever. I'm so lucky I feel like I could cry...!
