Momma Loves Books!

It is tradition for a father to be to buy his wife a present when she has a baby. I guess it's sort of a thank you for giving me this child gift. Traditionally I think this gift involves jewelry, but my amazing husband knows me better than that. He knows that I don't really wear any "nice" jewelry except my wedding rings. He knows that what I really love more than almost anything except him and baby girl is books. We frequently joke about how many books I read and how I frequently am reading more than one at a time. Just yesterday I brought home a big stack of books from work to be my maternity leave reading.

Because he knows this about me, he got me the most perfect "thank you for this child" gift ever...a new Amazon Kindle! It is amazing. It is so light weight and easy to hold and read. It's just like my favorite paperbacks, but, and this is the crazy part, it will hold hundreds of books! Can you imagine that...having hundreds of books in your purse, yet only adding 8.5 ounces! I LOVE IT! I have the best hubby! Now I just have to set a budget for purchasing books...and get a cute green case!
