My Pregnant Body Turns Him On

When I started the pregnancy journey the first time, I was NOT in love with my body. It was changing shapes in all kinds of ways and I was vomiting regularly. Gross!! How un-romantic and unattractive!! 

One night, my husband was cuddling me and I was having some pretty negative thoughts -- along the lines of, "You did this to me. We will never do THAT dance again." 

He whispered in my ear, between nibbles: "The fact you're willing to go through all this for our baby is really meaningful to me. Your pregnant body is a delight to my soul. I'm sorry to see you throw up, and sometimes I worry about your well-being. If I can help somehow, I want to." 

He was being honest because I said I wanted him to be with me while I was kneeling over the toilet. I wanted him to hold my hair back and clean up any messes. I never threw up alone again, and I've been pregnant three times now. And he still cleans the toilet often, even though puke is rarely the reason it needs it. TMI -- sometimes it's semen because the baby is asleep in our bed and we have to find another place to do the dance... ha ha.
