Thankful for my Sherwin

I've read and heard stories of how new mom's could become so focused on their babies that they forget the husband. I didn't want this to happen to us. Every so often, I'd ask him if he feels neglected and he'd answer Ok lang, baby kasi yan, mas kelangan ka niya.

A few weeks back I read Chris' blog on how thankful she was of her husband, which brought me to this other blog. Long story short, these made me think of him. Of how I haven't asked him - Napapabayan ba kita, baby? - for quite sometime.

It took me a long time to make up this list, making me realize how much I've taken him for granted these past few months. Of course, having the occasional marital disagreements makes it difficult to be appreciative and sets me back some more hehe.

But really, I'm thankful to God for giving me Sherwin because he ...

• loves my parents, brother, and relatives.
• loves his parents, siblings, and relatives.
  
• has faith in God (in his own way).
  
• is a kind and generous employer.
• is a patient and sensitive doctor to his patients.
• thinks I'm beautiful and sexy even when I was so unattractive and ungainly before and after pregnancy.
• loves me, even during my most stubborn, disagreeable or unpleasant moments.
• for always seeing to my comfort, for always taking care of me.
  
• for helping me take care of our baby, even waking up several times in the middle of the night, even when he needs his sleep because he has to wake up early, even when he needs his sleep because he was on duty from the hospital and he hasn't slept for 48 hours.
• can't sleep without me beside him.

I'm sure I'm still forgetting a lot. And I've deliberately omitted some that might be awkward for him. I know I might have made him sound like a saint, but hey, this blog is about being appreciative for his good qualities. I am aware of his imperfections, but I still feel blessed.

I so am thankful to Him for the circumstances that made me choose to intern at PGH, leading me to find Sherwin.

After reading this blog, my hubby asked, What about JT? Aren't you thankful for JT? :D
