Another Reason Why I Love My Husband

[Allegra360]

My husband is such a sweet man.  I woke up this morning a little before 5am having a coughing fit.  This cold I have is the worst I have ever had and it just won't go away.  So far it has been 8 days with no end in sight.  Being pregnant and not being able to take any medicine certainly doesn't help either.  When I woke up I took a warm shower hoping to open up my sinuses-it didn't work.  I heated a cup of chicken broth-it didn't help. 

 By 6am my sweet little boy woke up and was ready to play, and do "H".  "H" is what he calls starfall.com where he is learning his ABCs.  As he is sitting on my lap practicing the letter D I feel myself starting to fall asleep.  I woke my husband up (who was sleeping on the couch a few feet away) and asked him to please watch Joseph for a ½ hour so that I could get a little power nap.  My dh just got in from work at midnight which means he probably didn't get to sleep until 3 or 4 am.  Anyways, he forces himself awake and I head to the bedroom. 

 After my power nap I sat up in bed and realized I could actually breathe from both sides of my nose at the same time!  Then I coughed and even though my throat is still sore, it did not hurt as much as it had been.  I still felt drained, but otherwise I was in a pretty good mood.  God gave me such relief!  I walked to the den where I saw that dh had cleaned the entire room!  I had practically been living in this one room on the couch so to have it clean was amazing.  Then I caught sight of the clock.  My ½ hour power nap was actually 5 hours!!!!  DH let me sleep until I woke up 5 hours later.  I about fell over!  DH said he and Joseph tip-toed into the bedroom to check on me and that I was sound asleep.  I didn't even move when they opened the door.  My dh has been awake since a little before 8am and didn't even get a nap before he went to work at 3:30 just so that I could sleep as much as I needed.  I love this man.
