The Wilcox Life: The Glue

Good Morning! See this man right here: He is the glue.

He holds the pieces together, fixes them when they are broken, finds them if they are lost.

I'm so blessed that God put this man in my life. Later, I will share our story but for now I want to put the spotlight on this guy.

For those of you who don't know, I ended up having an emergency C-Section. When I was in the hospital I wasn't able to get out of bed by myself. If I needed help getting out of bed, he was there. If I needed to nurse, he brought her to me. I did not change one diaper. He took such great care of not only our daughter but myself too! He was so attentive to my needs. There is absolutely no glitz or glam when it comes to delivering a baby and ALL dignity and pride flies right out the window. Jimmy was so understanding, compassionate and gentle to my feelings and esteem.

In the long days of recovery, I still couldn't get in and out of bed by myself, I couldn't sit down by myself and he was there by my side helping me get through each and every step of recovery.

He did all the Cooking, Cleaning, Laundry. Seriously I don't think our house has ever been so well kept.

At first Addelyn hated baths, and I hated her reaction. Guess who bathed her?

-Jimmy.

Guess who cleaned her umbilical cord?

- Jimmy.

And guess who held her during all of her tests and shots?

-Jimmy.

After a long day of work, this guy comes home and brings calm to the storm. Have I mentioned Jimmy works crazy hours and most nights doesn't get home until after 7:30.

Might I add that, 7:00 is Addelyn's witching hour.

It is pandemonium at the Wilcox house when it's time to cook dinner.

We rotate between the bjorn, swing and bouncer and sometimes I end up having to surrender. Leaving Jimmy to either finish the half cooked dinner or come to Addelyn's rescue.

And he does, with a smile on his face.

Not only does he help me get dinner on the table but he helps me juggle the rest of the evenings objectives. Dishes, get Little A ready for bed andddd he gives me time to take a quick quiet bath. If diapers need to be stocked he does it. If the wipes need to be replenished he does it. If the trash or diaper genie is full, he takes it out.

ALL WITHOUT ASKING!

On his day off: he lets me sleep in. He makes breakfast. He changes diapers.

This man deserves an Award. He keeps this mommy sane. I'm so fortunate to have such an amazing husband who steps up to the plate, even after working so hard to provide for our family.

Our little one is spoiled with so much love by this doting daddy.
