So the other day I got to thinking about how this is my 3rd child in 4 years of marriage. Then I thought I would do some math (even though I hate it). My husband and I started dating in the end of June 2005, 3 weeks later I found out that I was pregnant with my oldest. We got married in November 2005, so we dated for a total of 5 months before we got married. This year, in a couple of weeks actually, we will celebrate our 4th year (48 months) of marriage. When the new baby comes in May we will have been married 4 years and 6 months.
So, assuming I can add right, 48 months of marriage + 5 months of dating + 6 months until baby = 59 months my husband and I will have been together.
Of the 59 months we have been together I have been pregnant 30 (I dont care what they say 40 week IS 10 months). Given that 59-30=29 months we have been together when I haven't been pregnant.
Up until just this August I have been sick for 18 months, plus one month of recovery from my surgery. Then adding in 4 months of recovery from child birth (8 weeks each child currently born at the moment). 29 weeks of not being prego - 23 weeks of illness and recovery = 6 months that my husband has had a non-pregnant completely healthy wife.
The man has put up with so much from me (not all of it my fault) that I truely think I must just keep him forever, because he has seen me at my worst and only had glimpses of me at my best and yet he stays with me without complaint. (He even, after 15 hours of work wont even complain if I ask him to stop on his way home to pick something to eat up when I get a craving!) I really do love that man *Heart*
