Have you told bedtime stories lately? Pregnancy has made me super sleepy, and I've been conking out really early. So a little tradition has started, where Alex will put me to bed. After I brush my teeth, he'll say, “Ready for bed, baby?” and then come into the bedroom, lie down next to me (and my maternity pillow) and tell me funny stories about his childhood, early days in New York or old friends. I don't know how he comes up with them all (every single night!), but it's so cozy falling asleep listening to his deep voice and trying to stay awake to hear the ending. I love you, Alex.(Photo by Max Wanger)
That is so sweet, and such a beautiful love note. You two are going to be such great parents!!
ReplyDeleteSweet as pie! I know how you are feeling. I feel big as a house. My husband brings me coffee and breakfast every morning. It just helps me get out of bed and start my day with a little smile :)
ReplyDeleteThat is amazing :) So sweet :)
ReplyDeleteCould that be any cuter? Finding out stories you don't already know about your hubs is one of the sweet surprises in marriage. At least, I always feel that way. Lovely!
ReplyDeleteWhat a sweetheart!
ReplyDeleteaw, he is going to be a great dad!
ReplyDeleteHow sweet and comforting. Sounds like he will be such a great father!
ReplyDeletesuch a cute tradition. i often make mu hubby tell me goodnight stories. it's the best.
ReplyDeleteOh wow. You guys will make great parents. Really, truly. :)

My boyfriend works til midnight on Sunday nights, so when he comes home I'm beyond ready for bed (but I always wait up for him) and he tucks me in like a little kid.
ReplyDeletethis brought tears to my eyes. i can't wait to hear about the bedtime stories he'll be telling your little boy in no time at all! x
ReplyDeleteThat's really very sweet. I love hearing about my boyfriend's childhood and life-before-me, I want to know him so much it pulls my heartstrings.
ReplyDeleteTalk about true love. That is one of the sweetest things I've ever heard. Best wishes to you dear & congratulations on finding such a wonderful man!

That is the sweetest thing I've ever heard. When I got the flu this past winter, all I wanted was for my husband to read to me. It was so comforting.
ReplyDeleteAwwww. That is so sweet!
ReplyDeletesome men are seriously wonderful.
ReplyDeleteyou are blessed.
Your husband is so sweet!
ReplyDeleteThat is too cute! What a sweetie!
ReplyDeletethat is SO cute. i always ask simon to tell me stories when we're lying in bed and he never gets further than "there was once a boy who met a girl" ...
ReplyDeletekudos to alex! it must be the story-teller/writer in him. needless to say, i'm jealous :)
p.s. love that photo.
That is the loveliest thing I have heard! Thank your lucky stars, Jo!
ReplyDeleteSo so sweet. That positively melts my heart :)

ReplyDeleteSo thoughtful...and utterly charming!
ReplyDeletethat is so adorable, it makes my heart sing.
ReplyDeleteI think my heart just melted...
ReplyDeleteAw, that is so cute. My fiance tucks me into bed most nights. He doesn't tell me old stories because he can't come up with it on the spot, but we do have conversations that help me drift off and I love it.
ReplyDeleteGood Lord,
ReplyDeleteYou are making me tear up!
that´s so sweet! I´m sure you both will be excellent parents and show your child how to love and be loved!
ReplyDeleteToo cute! That is such a sweet tradition, Joanna! My dad used to do that with me when I was younger, and it's definitely a tradition I'd like to carry on with my children. Once your baby comes along, it would be so sweet if Alex did this!
ReplyDeleteHi Jo
ReplyDeletePlease could you tell me where I could pick up a husband like Alex?
K x
such a nice love not. it's the little things in life that matter. nice picture of both of you! i hope i'll have such nice pictures too.

If only everyone was as lucky as you two...
ReplyDeleteOh that is so sweet it gave me butterflies! How lovely!
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely little note. He's a lucky man to have you and you're a lucky gal to have him. Ohhh and your future little baby---the luckiest indeed! XO Katie
ReplyDeleteI love hearing about how you keep the sweetness and romance in your marriage--those little traditions make even the most difficult days worth it! Thanks for sharing with us. :)
ReplyDeleteLovely, just lovely. Sometimes I think no one in the world could be as happily married as I, or love their spouse as deeply as I, then I read things like this and I know I am not the only one. I'd love to hear one of his stories. Are you writing them down later?
ReplyDeleteThat is darling ~ thanks so much for sharing. Hearing things like this just makes me smile. =)
ReplyDeleteXO Piper
Awww, that is just so sweet! He's going to make an amazing dad, your story is absolutely proof of that!
ReplyDeletehaliwoodsaywhat.blogspot.com
That is just about the sweetest thing!!! Alex is obviously a lovely husband, and I think we can all see what an amazing dad he will make!! Thanks for sharing this little moment with us, teary smiles all around!

ReplyDeleteAw, that's so sweet.
ReplyDeleteYou guys seem so in love...how wonderful!!
When we worked opposite schedules, my fiance would tuck me in every night. It was a great time to recap the day and settle down for bed. Alex sounds ready for fatherhood!
ReplyDeleteThis is absolutely lovely -- you two are very, very lucky to have each other.

This is one of the sweetest things I've ever heard! My boyfriend makes up little stories for me when I'm sick but yours is so much better!
ReplyDeleteI love hearing my husband tell stories, especially to our kids. I'm sure Alex will be a great bedtime story teller when you have little ones (hopefully you won't fall asleep during them like me!!). Does he talk to your belly a lot?
ReplyDeleteSo, sweet. Just think of the stories he will tell your little one when tucking him into bed.
ReplyDeleteOn a random side note, do you love you maternity pillow? I'm 20 weeks along with my 2nd baby and never used a maternity pillow in my 1st pregnancy (just woke up sore and needing to change positions a lot). I'm wondering if it's worth the money to get one this time around. Would you say it makes a big difference???
This is the sweetest thing I've read! The baby will be off to a great start with parents who care so much for each other. And how I remember that pregnancy tiredness when all you want to do is sleep!
ReplyDeleteThat's so sweet! Alex is going to be a great Daddy, reading to the baby at night when he's older. And you're going to be a great Mommy too!
ReplyDeleteAAAWWWWWWW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:)
ReplyDeletethat is just the absolute sweetest thing i've ever heard!! you two are so fortunate to have one another...and one on the way :) couldn't be happier for you!
ReplyDeletePrecious! That is the sweetest story and you are a very lucky lady! *Bless!*
ReplyDeletewww.twinyolks.com
How extremely romantic! Good good luck with the last weeks!
ReplyDeletedoes Alex have friends like him? (single, of course)
ReplyDeletethat is so sweet. i love the picture! you are one lucky lady, last night my bf and i fell asleep watching LIFE. have you seen it on Discovery? it's amazing!
ReplyDeleteSo sweet. It sounds like a such an exciting time.
ReplyDeleteHow did you two get so lucky to find each other?!? Your little man is going to be a very lucky baby too!
ReplyDeleteThis made me tear up a little bit! Y'all are super cute. xoxo.
ReplyDeletethanks for these cute comments :) amber, i LOVE the maternity pillow. i borrowed it from a friend and it has been a life-saver. it makes sleeping SO much more comfortable.
ReplyDeleteLovely!
ReplyDeletei really, really love hearing about a couple with such a beautiful love :) too much is written about breakups and hearing the fairytale is so refreshing! :)
ReplyDeletelovely, lovely story. Thanks for sharing :)
ReplyDeleteHow adorable. And to echo everyone else, what great parents you will both be!
ReplyDeletewhat a phenomenal hubby you have! i can only imagine how great he'll be with your son. and that wedding photo....so gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteThis is love. Touching to read. You are blessed.
ReplyDeletehow sweetenjoy that before baby arrives!!!
ReplyDeleteThat is so sweet. You are an amazing lady :)
ReplyDeletethat might be the sweetest thing I've ever heard! I always loved when my dad read my brother and I bedtime stories... so great that Alex is practicing on you before the baby arrives! :)
ReplyDeleteAww I like to do this too. Inspired a post of my own! Thank you!
ReplyDeleteThe sweetest thing!
ReplyDeleteSo sweet! You guys are going to be such good parents!
ReplyDeletecutest. post. ever.
ReplyDeleteThis is the BEST ever! EVER! You have a man of my dreams! My favorite thing is bedtime stories! Perfect post!
ReplyDeleteAhh, make my heart swell! What a darling little insight into your life that you just shared. Sweet dreams.
ReplyDeleteIncredibly romantic!
ReplyDeleteMy hubby must make up his stories, my ribs never stop aching.
Honestly I came home from school today in the worst mood and crying and this just cheered me up immensely.
ReplyDeleteSwoon! I want to find someone like Alex someday.
ReplyDeleteoh i love bedtime stories. what a sweet tradition. you 2 will have so much fun reading to your little ones... Sometimes we read stories from hans christian andersen fairytales or children books i drag home frm the school library.
ReplyDeleteyou guys are downright adorable.
ReplyDeletekiwi reads me pablo neruda poems when i have trouble falling asleep.
So cute!! You picked a good one, I'd say:)
ReplyDeleteaww. :] My fiance used to tell my belly a joke every nite while I was pregnant.. maybe that's why my child is so funny. :]
ReplyDeleteHi Joanna I'm a new reader,and I love your blog so much i read a year's worth of post! Oh Wow that is so incredibly sweet! Imagine how it would be when both of you guys can read to your baby!
ReplyDeleteI love the picture of Leslie looking so happy in the background!
ReplyDeleteLove this post so much I put it on my tumblr! I'm glad you have a sweetie to tuck you in! xox
ReplyDeleteAlex is the man. My wife is going through the same thing in her pregnancy.She is asleep by 8pm.I gave her flowers the other day. Corey.
ReplyDeleteAww, you guys are going to be together forever and always.
ReplyDeletelucky girl, you are.
ReplyDeleteLove, love, love this!
ReplyDeleteSmile, my husband tells me stories to help me fall asleep.. From McDonalds to Afghanistan, we've been everywhere. We are the lucky ones to have men that adore us so much, lovely photo.
ReplyDeleteThat is so sweet!! I'm going to have to remember to tell The Fiance that when we start to have children! What a great guy! :)
ReplyDeleteJenna

you paint such a beautiful picture of love. in both his actions and your words. brought joyful tears to my eyes, you all are going to be such tender and loving parents!
ReplyDeleteAwww can you imagine your baby is also listening to his voice and stories?? How incredibly sweet is that? You will be wonderful mommy and daddy!!!
ReplyDeleteThis is so sweet! My husband and I started the same tradition when I was pregnant. Two years later we still carry on... :)
ReplyDeleteI'd say how sweet this is, but it sounds like you've heard that more than a hundred times already. It's really wonderful how you take care of one another. My dear Barry reads to me when I'm having trouble falling asleep. The content doesn't matter (he can read articles from his mountain bike magazines for all I care). I, like you, am comforted by the sound of his deep voice next to me in bed.
ReplyDeleteWow, that is sooo sweet. Congratulations on a finding a good catch/dad/husband!
ReplyDeleteThis was a really great post. Very sweet to read. xxo
ReplyDeleteThat sounds absolutely lovely. Remember when you were a kid and you'd cuddle up to your mom or dad's chest because you were sleepy, maybe at a family gathering or something, and you'd fall asleep lulled by the vibrating sound of their voice?
ReplyDeleteIt's one of the best things about being a kid, but the best part is, you can still do it as an adult!
Have you been reading to your belly? I am just 4 months along but I started reading out loud to the halfpence, the first book I bought for him/her is "This Is London."
I rarely comment but I've been following your pregnancy in my Google Reader and it's been so much fun, especially as someone expecting. Thanks for sharing :-)
How lovely to have someone so sweet in your life! I want one! Honestly I've been dreaming of a sweet man who will tell me bedtime stories...
ReplyDeleteso completely precious.
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh... SO cute.
ReplyDeleteThis is one of the sweetest posts I've ever read!! What a wonderful way to fall asleep!
ReplyDeletethis is so sweet. Your relationship is an inspiration (and hope) to looking forward to being able to share these precious moments! again, so freaking sweet!
ReplyDeleteThis made me smile out loud:)
ReplyDeletePretty soon you'll be doing the same for your little one...mine is very much in the "tell me a story" phase...and it must include Ballerina Lila and Prince Charming...who are very good friends of course :)
ReplyDeleteOh gosh, that's so heartwarming! Love!
ReplyDeleteSo very sweet Joanna! I remember Alexi used to rush home from work in hopes of seeing me while I was still awake - many nights I passed out around 6pm when I was pregnant.
ReplyDeleteyou two are so sweet! :-)
ReplyDeleteawesome! ditto what everyone else is saying! just too too stinkin sweet! :)
ReplyDeleteOh so sweet! You are awesome couple:)
ReplyDeleteSo sweet! I want an Alex!!
ReplyDeleteYou guys make me jealous!
ReplyDeleteHi...I love your blog...and this picture looks absolutely stunning....Every bride should be captures in a special moment like this....
ReplyDeleteReal love is the sweetest thing ever. My love does the same thing, but without the pregnancy-thing ;) - when I'm feeling sick he tells me bedtime stories. I love it.
ReplyDeleteSeems like you have a gem on your hands (and he as well) never let go! :)
Have lots of fun with your pregnancy - both of you. And after the pregnancy you can tell bedtime stories to your little baby.
Love,
Nancy
The love between you both is something else. Love your love xx
ReplyDeleteThat is just the sweetest thing ever ... sigh.
ReplyDeleteThat is precious. :) What a good man.
ReplyDeleteAaaw you are so genuine and true, it's beautiful! I love reading your blog, you inspire me!
ReplyDeleteSo sweet. Just think, it won't be too much longer until he's telling bedtime stories to your little one! :)
ReplyDeleteSo sweet, Jo:) I have goose bumps. There are many tough things about pregnancy, but sleepy stories are certainly not one of them. You have a good guy there!
ReplyDeletelove.
ReplyDeletepitter patter..he is such a love
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! and I love the storytelling! With all the TV people watch these days, I wonder how well some people know their spouses!!
ReplyDeleteI love bed time stories as well, I'm gonna need to meet a man like Alex!!
ReplyDeletethat's the sweetest.
ReplyDeleteOne of my favorite things to do is cuddle up in bed, talk about the day and fall asleep to sound of my husband's voice. I treasure those moments. Thank you for being so inspiring and encouraging about marriage.
ReplyDeletegratitude- isn't it an amazing, stirring emotion?!
ReplyDeletethanks for sharing, jo.
xo
The sweetest thing!!
ReplyDeleteYou are a lucky lady :)
ReplyDeleteI'm almost positive this was my most favorite blog post. You two are just the CUTEST couple of all time, so classy and full of love.
ReplyDeleteSometimes I wish I knew more about my husband, but then he'll tell me a random story or something and it just makes me love him so much more each passing day and I feel more connected each time we learn somethign new about the other.
That is, officially, the sweetest thing any man has ever done!
ReplyDeletehow absolutely adorable ..i am sure you'll make two lovely parents :)
ReplyDeleteThat is so sweet it made my heart melt a little!
ReplyDeleteAwww. so sweet.
ReplyDeleteSeriously, does Alex have a brother? Maybe a dozen of them? Adorable. Beautiful.
ReplyDeleteSo, so sweet!
ReplyDeleteAww Tear! What a precious story!
ReplyDeleteThat is one of the sweetest things I have ever heard.
ReplyDeleteI'm so happy for you!
Big fan I am! :)

ReplyDeletethat's really sweet. i'm glad you have a good man!
ReplyDeleteThis is the most romantic thing ever!!
ReplyDeleteThat's adorable. I want bedtime stories. I'd love for my boyfriend to read to me. And I don't want to wait until I'm pregnant for that pillow, it looks so comfortable!
ReplyDeleteThis made me melt, it is so sweet.
ReplyDeletethis is so precious i love this, so beautiful youre so lucky i hope to have someone like him when i get married :)
ReplyDeletewonderful! just like 'One Thousand and One Nights'!
ReplyDeleteThat sounds so amazing. I hope my man is just as sweet.
ReplyDeleteэлектрошокер
ReplyDeleteThat is so beyond sweet!Do you read to the baby yet? I started reading to my boys when I was pregnant with each of them every single night though hubby would tease me about it.It really relaxed me.I would rock in the rocking chair,rubbing my big(I was HUGE..LOL) belly and read one of the many books that already lined their nursery shelfs.I honestly think that is why they have such a love for reading now.They get SO excited when they're told we are going to the library like most kids do when they are told they are going to the mall..lol!They are 8 and 10 years old and I have only missed one night of reading to them since they have been born.That is because I was in the hospital with my chrons..lol!It is a wonderful bonding time for everyone even though they are old enough to read themselves.We cuddle up with warm drinks and drift off into a land of make believe right before bed. These are the memories they will take with them into adulthood and pass on to their children.:0)Sounds like your hubby will be a great story teller too*Big smile*
ReplyDeleteOnce upon a time, a man loved his pregnant wife so much that every night he would tuck her into bed and share a lovely story about his life with her and their soon to be born child . . .
