I am finding that things are really different with Joe and I lately, but in a really good way.

Maybe certain things have stopped, but I find that he is much more attentive to me in other ways. He has changed his nickname for me. He used to call me Sweetie occasionally, but now he calls me "Beautiful" like ALL the time, as if he doesn't even know my name. And it makes me blush EVERY time...like we just started dating or something. In company he will refer to me like "And my beautiful pregnant wife would like a glass of water too, please". It's so weird, but so great. Like we've started over. I mean, we've been together for 10 years, so I guess even though we just got married 8 months ago, we are just so accustomed to each other that we don't really behave all sucky anymore, just sort of more symbiotically comfortable, so it's really nice to feel this way. I notice him looking at me sometimes, where I used to think he NEVER looked at me. He kisses and holds my hand in the car, he rubs my tummy, he smiles at me...He even wants to take me out to a movie this week. Like a DATE!! Geez, I could really get used to this!
