My SO is awesome for a ton of reasons. We are both busy, career-oriented people who also have hobbies and friends and whatnot, so it's rare that people in our shoes decide to have a third kid. But my SO is one of those true partners who is a super involved dad and a lot better of a homemaker than I am (as in he does more and is better at it). I wouldn't have wanted a third if not married to him, but with him I know we can do it.
This week when I had a few busy days at work he rearranged his schedule to be able to pick up the kids and give me extra time in the evening to catch up from work.
My SO is awesome this week for a bunch of reasons. I've been kind of stressing out this week due to less than stellar news from my OB. He's been super supportive, a calm logical ear when I need to vent, and helps do stuff around the house when I just don't have the mental or physical energy. I'm one of those people who when upset, need solitude - not a lot of comfort or companionship - and he's been really good about giving me my space and letting me work through what I feel. He's also been there when I DO need support and encouragement...
He's just a really great guy. I'm really thankful for him - especially this week.
My SO is awesome because he supports our family so that I can be a SAHM. And when I stress about the finances he says not to stress and that it is his job to worry about the money and my job to take care of the kids.
I have loved him for many years, but I got a whole new appreciation for him when we lost a pregnancy last month. He was so thoughtful and went out of his way to make me as comfortable as possible. I love how caring he is to me and to our animals. He never yells at me or speaks unkindly, and has never done either of those things in the 9 years I've known him. He tells me every day that he's happier since we've been together than he's ever been before. He's not great with words, but he does his very best. I couldn't be happier. Plus, he's hot. (See thumbnail for proof.)
My SO is amazing!! This has been a complete surprise for both of us. We are still fairly early in our relationship and definitely weren't planning on having a family anytime soon. We got our first faint positive last night, 7 days before AF is due, but when we tested this morning our negative result ended with me in tears. I know it's still early to be testing, but I'm a little impatient... My hormones may have had me a mess, but he handled like a pro. Planned or not our maybe baby is already very loved. As soon as I suspected I was carrying our little peanut I spilled the beans to him and where I expected him to not believe me or possibly even want this child, he blew me away telling me how excited he was and has already started making sure I'm getting all my vitamins and eating right. I am such a lucky girl, and could not possibly imagine having a little one with any one else.
@Junemonkey My husband is the same way! I worry a lot because I don't want him to feel like he can't tell me if I don't need to stay home anymore, but he always says he loves it this way and that he's got it.
This week he's especially wonderful though because he got in bed with me at 830... he hates doing that but I was so tired so we just watched netflix and I got to sleep early! it was heaven!
Our house was trashed yesterday. Leftover stuff from DS's first birthday and laundry that needed to be done. I've been so tired from working and first trimester exhaustion that I put cleaning off. He came home from work on his birthday and got a good chunk of the cleaning done. Now on my day off I just have to worry about a few little things and hanging out with DS.
He's been driving me a little crazy these past few days, but he's still pretty awesome. He takes my son into the pool at swim lessons every Saturday. I could technically do it, but it makes my hair a wreck for the rest of the day and it seems so much harder for me to do it...I do come along and watch/cheer him on, though!
I always say DH is the 51% parent. But really, he's probably the 75% parent. And he does 90% of the housework. We both work full time, but with his help we keep the house clean (but very cluttered ) and eat dinner as a family each night. He's always been very supportive of my career and anything I've wanted to do. Plus, he's cute and funny. Who knows what he sees in me.....
So many things I could say, but one of my favorite things about DH is how much fun he has with our girls! He was the first person to make both of them laugh!
@Squirtgun I wonder what is it about daddys that is so funny?! My daughter laughs so hard at my husband I love listening to them together! I really hope this next baby is another girl, i'll be happy either way, but he is just so good with our daughter!
My DH is my best friend and has been for 13 years now. He still makes me weak in the knees and somehow is even more handsome now than ever. He works so hard so I can be a SAHM. He is our everything.
One of the reasons my DH is so awesome is because he's a closet geek like me. You'd never know it by looking at us, but we're 4-day-pass-to-local-comic-con type people. This past year he stood in line with me for three hours to get an autograph of one of my favourite actors, even though he's not that guys biggest fan. Made me love him even more ❤
