We are 16 weeks along. The time seems to have gone quickly, but I'm sure Nicki has felt otherwise. Here's my beautiful wife sportin' a little bump.
I don't know if we will always post these "progress" pictures, but I needed a picture for this post. And, I think she looks amazing in this one.
My main purpose here, however, is to talk about Nicki. As pregnancy is for most women, this hasn't been easy for Nicki. I'm certain other women have had it worse, but Nicki has had her struggles too. Through all of this, she has almost never complained. I find that almost mind-blowing. I can barely make it an hour into a day without complaining about something. She has done this so well in fact, that I think "enduring well" aptly describes her.
She has consistently worked 10 hour shifts, cooked meals, cleaned the house, and just plain took care of business. One small anecdote. Nicki came home at 3 AM following a 10 hour shift at the hospital. I got up at 6 for work, waking her and disturbing her much needed sleep. As I left, I could tell she was struggling with the nausea as well as trying to get back to sleep. Fast forward through work, I came home to find dinner on and the house clean. Nicki wasn't feeling good, but felt she just needed to get stuff done. Amazing, simply amazing!
Without a doubt, I'm getting spoiled. Simply put, Nicki is incredible.
