Day 11: Supportive Friends/Family

See this post to read why I'm doing this.

Day 11:  Supportive Friends/Family

(No picture today because I don't think my husband would be happy if I put up a picture of him!)

     My family, especially my mom, has been very supportive and always there for me.  But without a doubt, my husband has been my rock.  Sometimes his tough love is a little too tough for me, but he knows what I need.  He was been there for me right from the beginning, taking on each task without a complaint.  When we were trying to get pregnant he gave me my shots every night (though I think he kind of enjoyed this.....lol), brought me drinks and crackers when I was experiencing morning all day sickness, took me maternity clothes shopping, continued to give me shots in my belly our entire pregnancy, never missed a doctor appointment, took me to all my middle of the night E.R. visits, visited me each day in the hospital, followed my ambulance when they transferred me, and was there holding me when each of our children were delivered.
     When we came home, he took care of all my physical needs, always putting my needs before his. He made sure I ate, took my medicine, and had everything I needed. He took so much time off of work and was always home to comfort me, hold me, let me cry on his shoulder.  And now, he lets me lead the way. If I want to talk about the babies, we do. If I want to do something to remember them, we do.  He helps me take pictures of the bears when we're out, lets me bring their ashes where I want, and goes shopping with me when I have an idea and need to find the perfect candle/angel statue/picture frame/etc. 
     I love my husband very much.  If he's this good to me I can only imagine what a great father he would have been and I feel terrible that I can't give him any living children.
