Why My SO is Awesome 3/27

mylittleversailles

We never keep up with this one! So tell me, why are you super in lurvvvvee with your SO lately?

Yesterday my sweetie pie cleaned the entire house top to bottom, made from scratch yeast cinnamon rolls and dinner. And that was after taking me to a book fair and out for pupusas!

He's been very very understanding about me falling asleep so early and has been doing A LOT of the dishes lately.

My hubby has been picking up the slack and handling everything these past 2 months. Toddler, dogs, dinner, cleaning, bathtime, bedtime, etc. He usually helps tremendously anyways (we tend to split everything), but lately he's just been a rockstar and getting sh*t done since i've been nauseas and tired early. I'm so grateful for a true partner, one that WANTS to help and wants me to rest etc. He never complains and he's the best.

He's been picking up a lot of the slack lately with the household duties ... I'm so thankful for the dinners he's been making and for helping with keeping up on the cleaning!

@grkgdss00 Yes! A real partner. We always split the work because I'm not down with that sexist shit, but it's all on his shoulders now and it's not a problem. I can't wait to parent with him.

He realized he's been a grump lately and surprised me with flowers, and a tiny trampoline for the toddler so she can tire herself out. Win win.

He took our son to the store yesterday so I had the house to myself. When they got home I saw my 3yo holding a bouquet of sunflowers saying "I paid for them!" My husband says when they walked into the store our son points to the flowers and says "mommy likes flowers!" Then picked out the ones he wanted to get. I know it's more my son who did all this, but it wouldn't have happened if it weren't for my wonderful husband. He doesn't get me flowers often, so this totally made my day.

@curlyq423 That's so sweet!

He's been doing what he can for me each day to make thinks easier, which is especially nice because he goes to class from 9 a.m to 12 p.m. and then leaves for work from 2 p.m. to 2 a.m. so not much to help anyway. But he does his best, and let's me sleep in sometimes even though he's often the sleep deprived one (it's sometimes because the rest of the times he'll sleep as well).

DH has caved to my every food demand lately.  That's major awesome points.

I go to bed wayyyyy earlier than he does, even when I'm not knocked up. But whenever he does come to bed, he always rolls over, gives me a kiss and tells me he loves me. As soon as he found out I'm pregnant, he's started adding a gentle little belly rub and telling baby he loves it, too. 

It's the little things, y'all.

@natleilynn, when my DH leaves for work he always gives DS and me a kiss and tells us he loves us. Ever since I got pregnant he either kisses or rubs my belly and baby gets another "I love you"

@natleilynn That is so incredibly sweet!

My DH has been a huge life savor. He has been really taking more initiative with the girls.  He also has been so cute asking me if theres anything I want or need before he comes home from work. He also doesnt show his repulsion too much when burp like a frat boy.

He randomly brought me home a Dr. Pepper! I try not to keep them in the house, because I'd probably drink the maximum amount of caffeine I can have daily lol (which is like 4 cans of Dr. Pepper). At that point, I'd me more worried about the sugar than the caffeine! Dr. Pepper is my weakness!

natleilynn I am officially melting!

My DH is normally quite sweet, but even more since he knocked me up. I've caught a cold in the last few days and he works out of town, so I haven't seen him since Thursday. He just got back home this morning and texted me at work to tell me he's making me homemade soup and grilled cheese for dinner. I replied to thank him and then complain about my nausea, but then apologized for continuously complaining about my nausea because I have no one else to lament to. He simply responded "I want to hear about it because I love you."

My SO is awesomERRR ever since we got pregnant lol here is why 
- he normally does a little cooking and cleaning when he's off but now he does ALL the cooking. 
- he asks me alll the time if there's anything in particular i'm craving and doesn't hesitate to go get it. 
- offers to take long walk regularly 
aaaaand my numero uno 
- EVERYDAY i get a coconut oil head to toes massage before going to bed. ( even though it's a win win situation since he knows he'll get "some" right after it loll)
all that while working 18 hours shifts, 4 days a week, Mannnn i wish my son grows up to treat his woman just like his dad lol


eta : took me 4 editing shots to gif successfully lmao

He asks me every morning and when I get home from work how Im feeling.  He has been going to the grocery store daily to get whatever i think i can eat for dinner that night (hes actually there now).  Side note - I dont know how you ladies are able to meal plan.  What sounds great tonight will make me want to vomit tomorrow!  And hes been doing 98% of everything around the house since Ive been feeling so craptastic and tired.  Hes a keeper for sure.

I was supposed to make food for a friend's event on Sunday but ended up getting the flu. My husband made all the food himself, drove it to the event (1 hr away), and cleaned the kitchen when he got back. He is so kind!

My husband let me take a trip to Chicago this weekend to see my favorite artist in concert. He took care of our sick toddler, then basically let me catch up on sleep all day Sunday while he cleaned and vacuumed and still took care of our sick little one. Never any complaints from him. And he's been so nice since I can't cook from scratch or anything healthy right now and have been serving pretty much all packaged/processed/quick/easy stuff (I normally cook from scratch, & we are very healthy pre-baby). And he never mentions if the house isn't picked up or laundry isn't done since I'm so exhausted. He makes sure to get some good play time in with the toddler because he knows I'm not up for much lately. He prays over our baby and my health every night before dinner. He's so sweet and I am so thankful to be his wife  

and this thread gives me all the feels. If you are a FTM, there's nothing like seeing your husband become a dad. Absolutely nothing like it.

Oh, there's been many nights where I puked before or after dinner. haha. But DD and DH still have to eat and my hope is that at some point I can eat again, too. I have to stay in the habit of doing this stuff or it's 1000x more difficult for me to get started again. At least most of what I make during the week is super easy
