The overwhelming love and support I've received from my friends and family has been amazing. I didn't know how people were going to take it as it was my third kid. Christian's in his 'final' season, and I know that people want attention to go to him and they're going to think that me being pregnant is just trying to get all the attention on me. But, it's always been like that when big things happen in our lives at the same time. I've just gotten used to it.

I've gotten better at not letting things affect me as much as they used to; but at times, it still is tough. Being the wife to one of the most iconic baseball players has its ups and downs. Mostly ups, but there are the downs, and I let those get to me and I know I shouldn't.

I have an amazing family, beautiful kids, an outstanding husband, why would I complain? Well, when people tell you that Christian can do better and that you don't deserve him? That shit hurts.

Sometimes, I just need to lock my phone and ignore everything. I just take everything to heart. Today just happened to be one of those days. I wanted to announce my pregnancy in a cute way online, and see how people would take it, but it seems that people aren't 100% on board with it. Which is fine, it's their opinion, just hurts me.

Christian walked in the living room where I was sitting and wrapped his arms around me from behind and kissed the side of my head. "You're so beautiful, you know that?" He whispered, kissing my temple before moving to sit next to me. "I saw the comments, and I saw what people were saying, it's not cool."

I sigh, "I should be used to it by now, y'know? I just wanted to announce the pregnancy and have people be happy. Which, some are, but, I always just go right to reading what people have to say about me." I looked at him and then at my hands, "I'm not trying to steal a spotlight or anything.."

"Nor do I think you are, Nads." Christian said, tilting my chin up, "I don't give a fuck about baseball. You and the kids are my number one priority. You guys come before anything else and I want you to be happy, and I want that little baby growing in you to be happy as well." he kissed my cheek, "Don't let them get to you. You're amazing, you're beautiful, and who gives a fuck what some anonymous person says? They're jealous."

"I know.." I say quietly, "I need to stop letting it get to me.." I look at him, "You would think by now I would be used to all the comments, but it never gets easier."

Christian pulled me into his arms, "They don't know you like I do. They don't know that you're the most amazing, kind-hearted, sweetest mother around. What they see on social media is what they're going to perceive of you, and they don't get to live with you." He played with my hair as he spoke, "They don't get to see the Nadia I know. The Nadia I fell in love with. The Nadia who is a fantastic mother, great supporter, best friend that I get to see every day. They only see a fraction of what goes on in our lives and that's totally okay! I don't like sharing all of my life on social media, and that's fine with me."

I cuddle into his side, listening to what he had to say. He was right, and I don't know how he did it, but he always knew how to make me feel better. Anything he said in times like these just made me so thankful to have him in my life because I honestly don't know what I would do without him. He's truly an angel.

I lean up and kiss his lips softly, "I love you so much.." I whisper before kissing him again.

"And I love you, baby. Don't let them get to you. It's not worth it, they're not worth it. You have me, you have the kids, you have your family, and that's all that matters." He replied, "Speaking of...Where are the kids at?"

"They're in their rooms. Willow has been watching Disney Princess movies, and Wyatt was just in here getting some snacks and then ran back into his room." I looked at him, "So we can hang in here for a little while if you want," I smile at him and grab the blanket from the floor, "I could use some cuddles from my handsome husband."

Christian smiled at me, "I would love to lay with my beautiful wife," he fixed the blankets so we were both under them. "She gives some good cuddles."

I couldn't help but smile hearing him compliment me; he always knew how to make me blush. We ended up watching a couple of episodes of one of the shows he was catching up on and I fell asleep probably through the second episode.

When I woke up from my nap, Christian was still under me, which surprised me. Usually if we were to fall asleep on the couch, he would either move and take me with, or just move so I could be more comfortable on the couch. But honestly, I loved laying on him, he made a great personal space heater.

I stretched out and looked over at him, "You're still here.."

"Yeah, I ended up dozing off for a little bit until Willow came and asked me for something, but I told her to wait a little bit because you were sleeping.." He replied, running his fingers through my hair, "You were out like a light, though. Did you sleep at all last night?"

I nodded, "Yeah, I woke up a couple of times, but I was able to get back to bed pretty easily.." I reply, sitting up and threw my hair into a messy bun, "I slept pretty fine. The bad nights of sleepign won't start happening until the little baby bump makes a return."

"I honestly can't wait for that," Christian said, "It's so cute on you."

I giggle and smile at him, "You think so?"

He nodded, "For sure. I love it more than anything. And the pregnancy glow? Ooo, baby, you're fucking stunning." He kisses my cheek then my lips, causing me to giggle against his lips before kissing him back. This man had my heart on lock, for sure.

"You flatter me way too much." I tell him, shaking my head.

"I just tell the truth, babe. That's all."
