So I’ve had a pretty rough pregnancy so far, throwing up all day every day. Nausea has been a constant so far for my pregnancy. The other constant, however, has been the love, support, and patience from my partner.

This man works 40+ hours every week to provide for us then comes home to take care of his sick, pregnant fiancée. We used to game together a lot, but now video games make me feel nauseous so he has decided to cut back because he wants to spend time with me. He brought his set up out to the living room so he can play while I’m napping or watching a movie and still be next to me. He has even started napping when I do so he can be awake when I’m awake so I’m not up alone in the middle of the night. He makes frequent runs to the gas station for sprite and even picks up my slack around the house.

On top of everything, he never forgets to tell me how much he loves me and that I am beautiful. He’s definitely still attracted to me even though I’m at my worst right now. He still always wants to have sex, yet he is totally okay with when I don’t feel like it. I currently feel like a sick whale, but I still feel desired by him. The love I feel from him and for him is beyond tremendous.

His love for me and his family is obvious. He is so excited to be a dad and I am so privileged to be able to give him that. My mother bought him a book for expectant fathers, and he accepted it with excitement and gratitude. He tells me daily how excited he is and that I will be the greatest mother to our babe.

This man has a sarcastic yet loving personality that I adore. He is genuine. There is no doubt in my mind that he is the one for me. I couldn’t have asked for a greater person to share this journey with, and I am so thankful that he is mine.
