baby daddy

today i want to post something just for Ben. We had a doctor's appointment this morning at 11:20. He is so great and goes with me and Archie to the appointments. Of course it feels like you wait for a few hours before they get you in, but really it is about 20 minutes. My wonderful husband was falling asleep in the chair in the waiting room, they called me back for a few routine things, then we waited some more. Finally we both got to go into an exam room, where we talked a little, and he dozed a little. I know these appointments aren't the most exciting things in the world and I know he takes time out of his day so he can go with me; he'll have to go back to work and get 8 hours in one way or another. So, I am grateful to have such a kind hearted person to be married to, and to be Archie's daddy. We even made a stop at my work, which lasted longer than expected, so he was later than expected, and he didn't complain, much--and before he went back to work, he told me he loved me and gave me a kiss. Such a simple morning, but it meant everything.
PS-- we are more than half way, Arch is healthy, average sized (?) and Ben can hear his heartbeat if he listens really close with his ear pressed on my tummy:)
