My 'Better Half'

Hi Dr. Laura:

I've been married for almost five years.  My husband and I have a 20 month old and our second child is on the way.  With this pregnancy, I've been exhausted at night and can barely stay awake past 8:30pm.  

Last night, after dinner, my husband was playing with our little girl in the living room while I watched from the couch.  I dozed off, and when I woke up an hour later, I realized it was well past our daughter's bedtime.  I went to find her and then realized my husband had taken care of her so I could sleep.  He brushed her teeth, got her changed, read to her and sang to her, and put her to bed. 

Not only did he take care of our daughter, but when I walked into the kitchen, I found he had also cleared the kitchen table and loaded the dishwasher too.  My heart melted.  He had worked a nine hour day that day, and still he let ME rest.  

I always call him my "better half" and last night he yet again showed me how great a father and husband he is.  

Bonnie
