sentimentalness..or lack thereof

my sweet husband is not sentimental. i am. he is not into details really. i am. he doesn't sit there and think about feelings for too long. i do. so basically what i am saying is that he is a man and i am a woman. but i ache for the day that his feminine qualities come forth if even for a brief moment. that was a preface.

so, we're hanging out a couple months back, just talking, and i start thinking about my newborn son and i begin to voice my thoughts by saying "you know, its just crazy to me that our son is fully sustained by ME. i mean, all of his meals come straight from me!" (now, don't get me wrong, i understand that our God is responsible for this and ultimately He is our sustainer). but it really hit me hard that our son's life, his ability to thrive, is dependent on me. i just realized the beauty and the order in that and it just took my breath away. so kenny says " i know!" and i thought, oh my gosh, he's going to say something so beautiful right now, he's going to recognize the difficulty of breastfeeding and give me kudos for being faithful to it, or he's going to talk about how God created the mother to be able to feed her baby and the baby to be able to drink from the mom, or he's just going to be sentimental for once! i got so so excited, just anticipating the next words to fall off of his lips so i could remember them forever! and they did. and i will. and they were... "i mean, he's like a parasite!"

end of conversation.
