The past 7 months my babies are all I talk about. They are my life, my world, and my miracles. They need my love and care 24/7. But there is also a part of me that I haven't mentioned in a while and that is...my husband. Dusty completes my life, he is the love of my life, he is the other half of my world to make it whole, and he is the reason I am happy! He is the reason I am a mother, and the reason my heart beats. My husband has been set on the back burner since we brought our twins home. Yet, he doesn't complain.. he still walks in everyday from a long day of work and kisses his makeup-less wife, who is still in her pajamas she had on when he left for work, and her hair is in a ratted ponytail. He kisses his sons and gives them loves, then of course has to give Bella (our dog) attention whether he wants to or not cause she practically attacks him when he walks in. Even though he's been at work all day, he comes home and helps with his daddy duties too. We work as a team together and I love his help!! He's amazing!
Dusty and I were married over 5 years ago. He knows everything about me, and I mean everything. Sometimes I think he knows me better than I know myself. He never left my side when I was very ill for those awful 2 years before we got pregnant. He was at EVERY doctor visit, in the waiting room after EVERY surgery, and although I was the one going through the medical procedures, it was just as hard on him. I would wake up at night with him just staring at me with tears in his eyes. He worked everyday, and then came home and cooked for and took care of his lifeless wife. He is my best friend and I wouldn't be where I am today without him. He has made me a better person and he is my better half.
Like a lot of the blogs I read, the mothers say by the time the kids are in bed, all you want to do is hit the pillow and sleep. I know all you mothers know what that's like. You have been peed on, pooped on, and puked on all day. You've wiped bums, faces, boogers, and fingerprints off everything. You've cleaned the house, washed dishes, done laundry, and cooked meals. So you're exhausted by the time your husband gets home from work and all you want to do is rest. You've been being a mother all day, and you forget that you have to be a wife too. Remember you have another name other than "mom"!
Well little does Dusty know, but I watch the clock. I get excited when the clock hits 5:00 PM cause I know he will be coming home. I look forward to the evening when he gets home and we can be together as a family. I still get butterflies when he calls me, and even though he doesn't get the attention he used to, I still love him more today than I did the day he asked me to marry him, more than the day we got married, and more than I did yesterday. I love him more and more everyday and he continues to give me reasons for my love to grow for him. He works so hard everyday, and if he didn't I wouldn't be a "stay-at-home-mom", I would be taking our kids to daycare and working myself. He is the reason we have a roof over our heads, clothes on our backs, food on our table, and the reason we have our amazing twins.
My advice to you, and I am going to take my own advice as well..but love your husband no matter what. Kiss him and be excited when he comes home. Love him! Hold his hand when you can, and when the kids go down for the night, stay up for a little while and cuddle. Just lay together and cherish the moment. Always remember he was yours first!!
So to my amazing husband,
I love you! I want to thank you so much for your patience and understanding with being "neglected" the past 7 months. I know your capable of taking care of yourself, unlike the twins, but I still want to be the one to take care of you. I want to be your wife!! I want to love you, kiss you, and continue to fall more in love with you. Thank you for being you! Thank you for loving me and for loving our boys. Thank you for working so hard for our family, and thank you for loving me at my worst times and my best times. I love to laugh with you, dance with you, and sing with you! I love you Dusty! I always have and I always will! Thank you for being my husband and their daddy!
