Best Mother-to-Be Day

I wasn't expecting to celebrate Mother's Day this year since, technically, Oliver's not born. The husband felt otherwise. He took me to Mark's on Thursday for dinner. Then on Sunday he surprised me with:


A Risom Rocker from Design Within Reach.

I know you are probably like, uh...ok. At this moment in my life, preparing for the baby is taking number 1 priority. Well, I need a rocker to feed and put the baby to sleep.

He surprised me oh so cleverly, too. I was in the kitchen preparing breakfast (which, btw, has now become a ritual). He was getting things out of his car. He comes in from the dining room and says to me, "Honey, look at all of these magazines you have". There was a stack of magazines I had not read, is what he was referring to. I said, "I know. I need to catch up". He then proceeds to rummage through the stack and tells me, "Oh and look this mail is for you".

I look at the envelope, addressed to me, and saw that it was from Design Within Reach. The night before, coincidentally, we had been looking at the website for rockers. I thought to myself that's weird, we were just looking at the site last night. I look at my name and noticed that the handwriting was familiar. I noticed there was no stamp. Finally a light bulb lit up. *Ding

It was his handwriting, full name and address. I informed him that it was his handwriting. Not looking at me he began to chuckle and told me to just open it. I did and found a sweet card with a picture of the rocker above and the color swatch of the rocker.

Needless to say, I was ecstatic. It was the exact rocker I told him I liked.

Then I realized the price of this rocker. I thought to myself, "Oh, shit. How am I to top this for Father's Day?"

Soon

I am ready to have my old body back.

That is all.
