Dear Husband,
Happy 30th Birthday!
I just wanted to let you know how much I love you.
Even though we're still quite young, we've been together a long time, and those days when I feel as though I couldn't love you more? The very next day - I do.
Watching you anticipate the arrival of Butterbean makes my heart melt into a goopy puddle at my feet. I never expected you to be quite so excited, and it makes me realize just how wonderful a father you are going to be.
I love how you remind me on a daily basis that we are having a baby, as though I might forget unless you keep telling me. And when you talk about watching Bomber practices on your day off, you in your jersey, and Butterbean in their itty-bitty one. I love when you talk about how life will be with them at birth, when they're 2, or 6, or 10. And I love how even though you cringe, you manage to laugh when you think of your beloved tv being smeared with dirty little handprints.
I watch you go to work everyday with little twinges of pain, but then come home limping. You are constantly apologizing to me for that - why? It seems you feel guilty for being in pain, which I can never quite understand. Do I wish I could make you feel better? Definitely. Do I cry sometimes at the amount of pain you're in? You know it. But do I think you're one of the toughest people I know? Hell yes. You deal with that kind of pain better than I expect most people would, and you should never feel bad about how you're feeling.
And...you know, you deal with me so well when I (insert sarcasm here) have the occasional, rare mood swing. When most sane people would have left me for being such a loony toon by now, you continue to hang around, which I have to admit, surprises me sometimes because of how dramatic I can be.
All of these things just reinforce what I have known since we got together almost 14 years ago, that you are the one for me, that I can depend on you all my life, that you will be a wonderful father, and that there is no one better for me than you. Have a wonderful day, and I can't wait to see you when you get home tonight.

P.S. You have been snoring since your head hit the pillow - is your nasal strip already stuck somewhere unmentionable?

Happy Birthday, Chris!
It does not surprise me AT ALL how excited he is about Butterbean. Back when things were not looking so good I knew exactly what sort of father he would be - totally devoted and amazing - which made me pray all the harder for you both.
You may be right - a lesser man might well have bailed out on you by now, but that lesser man would not have deserved you in the first place would he!
Have a great day, both of you - hope you got him some awesome presents!
Put some duck tape over that strip. Wrap it around his head.
Happy birthday Chris.
Nice post Ali.
Thanks baby. This blog made me blush a little.
I'm very excited about the Bean and their little jersey, but more excited just to walk around, showing the two of you off!
I love you and junk.
you two are too darn cute! only 30? and just now having a baby? good thinking and perfect timing. Happy Birfday to you! And many more...
SIS - NO idea where that strip ended up, I can only imagine...
Rock Chef - Awwwww!
Reggie - Fabulous idea, must try that. Now...how am I going to get him to let me near him with duct tape...hmmm.
Chris - you too and junk.
Jahooni - To me he looks like he's 12...hehe. No wait! That makes me sound pervy! He looks at least 18!!!
