My Little Day Off

This week, DH asked if I minded if he went to the Hurricanes game today. Of course, since we have been in the house together practically 24/7, I could not have minded less. Last night, we both really didn't get much sleep. Turtle wasn't particularly fussy, but for some reason, we were both suffering from insomnia. For a brief moment, it seemed like DH was going to back out of his own plans, but somehow, he conjured up a second wind and after giving Turtle his bath (the first one he's done since leaving the hospital), he was on his way.

I promptly ordered up "Enchanted" on PPV, popped some popcorn, and hit the couch with Turtle. Good times!We did more time in the boppy, with a little help from Molly, and this time, there were no tears at all. Such a good boy.

In the meantime, DH told me to be expecting a UPS delivery, but that it was not for me and that I could not open it. I behaved myself, which was hard because when the box showed up, the return address was our jeweller in South Florida. And when DH got home, he had to keep the torture going by checking it all out first, in super slow motion.

But what a beautiful surprise! He had designed a gorgeous pendant for me, incorporating my birthstone (emerald) with Turtle's (diamond), and Turtle's inital, in a beautiful little heart. Of course, I put it on immediately and will be wearing it constantly. He apologized for it being so late, but Turtle came quite a bit earlier than planned, so it would have been just on time for his EDD of May 18. Whatever - it was such a thoughtful gesture, and the fact that he designed it (apparently it involved sketches that he drew himself), is so sweet and romantic.

Oh, and he also brought Turtle his first Sebastian the Ibis today. Turtle befriended him immediately.
