I caught him staring at me and smiling last night. My naturally un-suspicious nature demanded that I ask:
"What? Why are you looking at me like that?"
"I just love you, that's all"
"Why?"
"Because you're a mommy."
We had gone to the OBs office, and we heard the kid's heartbeat for the first time. I couldn't stop smiling the entire appointment (and most of the afternoon.) I accepted my pregnancy long ago (The daily barfing routine has helped that along) but I guess it was made real for him when he heard the heartbeat that we are, in fact, parents.
While normally unromantic, Dimitri has been a trooper through the pregnancy. He brings me crackers and rubs my back and instant messages me with cutsie-poo nicknames for me (which I will not reveal until drugged with a mighty mighty epidural - one more reason why I don't want any non-necessary humans in the delivery room with me. They might hear me repeat the CUTSIE-POO NAMES, and my GOD we cannot have THAT happen. People can see me take an uncontrollable bowel movement on the delivery table but dammit they CANNOT HEAR THE CUTSIE-POO.)
