My Husband the future Dad (mushy warning)

My husband has NEVER been great with birthdays, Christmas, and anniversary gifts. Oh, and forget Valentine's Day! It is not that he forgets (he always remembers) but he HATES to shop and says he never knows what to buy. When we first got married it used to upset me but then I had Lisa to tell me it can take some guys a while to grow their thoughtful gene! (She should know she lives with 7 males if you count their two cats and their dog).

Anyway, I've always overlooked that flaw because Curt overlooks PLENTY OF MINE! Well last night I pulled out the box of baby clothes that we have so far (half are what I have been buying since the first day I found out I was pregnant... minus the girl's clothes that I sold on eBay, and the other half have been given to me by Lisa, or Curt's sister Angela). Anyway as I was holding up the tiniest cutest little socks that Lisa had given me (baby feet are so tiny and ADORABLE!) Curt asked if he could put them in Lucas' dresser. He got all excited that I said "yes," and here I was thinking that I would have to show him during the commercials of whatever it was we were watching.

So we both go into the nursery and I separate them by size (0-3 months first drawer, 3-6 second drawer, and 6-12 3rd). He gently takes each one and folds it up and places it in the drawers, which by the way we have PLENTY of 0-3 months clothes... we could barely close the drawer! The other two drawers are closer to empty). After everything was folded to his standards (which by the way I've never seen him fold anything in my life now that I think about it!!) he got up and looked around the baby's room, hugged and kissed me and headed off to bed.

Which brings me back to how I started this... Curt may be bad at gifts on other holidays but every since we got married he has always done things for me on Mother's day... even though we didn't have kids! He would bring me home flowers and take me out to nice dinners and say "For the future mother of my children." So I have always overlooked that whole gift giving flaw because I know he'll be a great Dad and that just makes me love him even more.

My Mood : Excited!
