Why my SO is Awesome 4/22

camomile_june

Let's hear it ladies. What has your SO done lately to make your pregnancy happy hormones overflow?

camomile_june

AFM, yesterday he referred to me as 'the two of you'. That made my day.

AMCsquared

He did drive me to work this Thursday so he could take me to my food allergist appointment after work and then waited in the waiting room for 90 minutes for me

My SO is just amazing. I couldn't be doing this without him. He's so cute... he came home last night with a pineapple because he was thinking of me and that I might need it (because I guess he doesn't understand it was only for implantation that I wanted one before) lol
He basically tries Sonne the calm in my storm. He's such a darling

My DH is such a kind soul. He took care of DS all night who is sick so that I could sleep.

We just found out yesterday, so we're still in the honeymoon phase you could say and he is just so excited. He immediately started talking about books for him to read (then I found a popular one for $0 on Kindle and he started it last night) and then he wanted to decide what to call it (he decided on piglet for now, lol).

Ps... this is one of my fave threads

While I'm feeling awful, he's doing everything around the house and outside - no complaints. I couldn't do this without him!

He's been super sweet all week - he was able to switch things around with work and come to my scan yesterday morning, he bought flowers for DS To give me and he got me ice cream! Now if I could only get him to take out the garbage lol

Mine said goodbye to me, DD, and then touched my tummy and said, "You too!" All the feels!

My hubby left in the middle of a raging storm to get me cereal because it was the only thing that sounded good to eat

DH makes me breakfast every single morning (bacon and eggs and toast), packs my lunch, and works hard... right now he is finishing up our fence so I can let the dogs out without having to stand outside with them.

He's got such a perfect balance of strength and sweetness, and he is the most reasonable man in the world. Quick to admit when he realizes he's wrong, and gentle when he knows he's right. I really don't know how I muddled through life before him!

We've been married nearly 8 years, and my heart still skips a beat when he walks in the room. He's the only person that can calm me when I am hurting or stressed - he just has that 'presence'. I LOVE HIM so much!

He talks to baby every night - he did it with our son too and I love that it's his way of bonding already with our child.

He's been doing dishes and laundry and playing more with our son when possible so that I can sit and rest since I'm fatigued but also experiencing insomnia. I love him so much.

vvitchhazel

@afternoonduck This is so sweet! 

missbmama

@afternoonduck our hubbies sound super similar, your post made me tear up because it reminded me of mine!
I have terrible teeth and since the hormones and weather my mouth is giving me severe pain. Usually at night. When he gets home from work he's been rubbing my neck and back and feet to help relieve the pressure. It's been so wonderful and has helped me sleep a lot sounder.

He has done literally everything in his power to make my life easier.  I have been so ill I can barely function and my DH has cleaned, cooked, shopped, and has been taking care of my wonderful DD too.  Love him so much.

kater622

I love these!!!

DH just made up a whole song about our dog to the tune of ACDC while dancing with the dog....I was laughing so hard I cried. This happens a lot.

breezybee

My hot man just made me peanut butter brownies from scratch and is bringing me one as we speak 

moonlady-2

Since we found out he has been making me a green smoothie every morning. And they've been delish! 

ilikestars089

Oh man, I have so many things to be thankful for with my DH! Yesterday, he mowed both front and back yards (usually I do) and weeded our garden. Last night he brought me home a yummy chocolate peanut butter ice cream treat, and today after a day of army training he cleaned all the bathrooms in the house! 

@vauxthekate this sounds awesomely hilarious!

@afternoonduck aw! The way you describe your DH is how I feel about mine too. Your post made me a little teary-eyed and reflective! thanks for sharing!

HRM2L0

He baked chocolate cake yesterday, that was awesome. And he asks me every day how I'm feeling, and mentions the baby often - it's almost as if he's more excited about number three than he was with the other two:) We started talking about birthing options and he's completely supportive of whatever I decide and that's a great thing.

THIS IS MY FAVOURITE THREAD IN THE WORLD (and I hate it when people type in all caps - pet peeve).

Tennis11785

I seriously love this thread!!  AFM - my husband made me breakfast in bed this morning.  

vvitchhazel

My husband got up at 5 am with our screaming, teething daughter. Once she was settled, he didn't go back to bed... He was up for the day so he could take my car to his parents house and replace the brakes before we meet my family at a water park. He planned on putting the soft top on his Jeep today, but scrapped that. He's the sweetest.

lablover920

Love all these!

*not sure why my post didn't post all of what I said:
dh makes my life complete. He is so helpful around the house and is seriously such an amazing father. Last night I walked in on him reading to dd and he was making all of the characters have different voices, it melted my heart! 

kaylawing

I was feeling pretty overwhelmed after my BFP thinking about having a newborn and a 19 month old.  My husband came home from work with roses and a card telling me how excited he was for our newest family member and how he knows I am going to be a great mom to both our little ones.  His excitement throughout the last few days have really helped me to put my worries aside and be thankful and excited for our growing family.

CandyApple2012

@breezybee and @HRM2L0 Yay for baked goods! I love when DH bakes.

@vauxthekate That's adorable! We often make our pup dance/jam to music, too... she is generally far less amused than we are. 

DH spent the day re-organizing closets "to make more room for baby stuff." It's exciting to see him starting to get into it; I think the idea of baby has been a little abstract for him and while he was excited, it wasn't real for him until the last few days. He has mentioned my doctor's appointment this week at least three times today

ohmickey331

My DH works 4 12 hour shifts back to back some weeks (ER Nurse), comes home and still helps with our DS, does laundry, dishes, and whatever else I haven't gotten to during the day. He did our backsplash in the kitchen this weekend on little to no sleep.  He's the best most of the time.

I love his thread, it's giving me all the feels! Such sweet husbands!

My husband cleaned the house, did laundry, took care of our sick baby, and made banana bread while I mostly just took a lot of naps. 

AMCsquared

@vvitchhazel I love that!
@mamabear0528 banana bread that's so cute

Yesterday dh helped my dad with a home improvement thing that he's been stressing about so that made me happy

breezybee

@mamabear0528 Your husband wins

Mandayno

He knows I haven't been feeling the best and haven't been sleeping. I'm very hard to get out of bed! While I was sleeping he text messaged three other couples and set up date night plans. He surprised me with dinner plans at a new fancy restaurant with all of my favorite people when he came to wake me up! He's also been doing everything around the house including detailing and washing my car  He's pretty amazing!

mrsorigami

DH went out of his way to get me ice cream late last night when he was on his way home.  A very specific type of ice cream.  

vvitchhazel

My husband told me last night to plan an anniversary trip/baby moon for our wedding anniversary in September. I know exactly what I'm planning and I couldn't be more excited. 

tmk0325

My SO needs to take lessons from all of your DHs!  

AMCsquared

Oooo @vvitchhazel where?

vvitchhazel

@AMCsquaredhttps://www.foxglovedoorcounty.com This glorious inn. My husband and I are suckers for a good bed and breakfast. We were married at one, we honeymooned at another one, and I've had my eye on this place for awhile. It's only about a 3 hour drive for us, which will be awesome. We drove 6 hours (with stops, probably 7.5 hours) for our honeymoon and I felt like we didn't get to enjoy as much downtime and we planned most of our trip around when we'd have to be on the road. We'll hit up some local attractions, but mostly focus on relaxing.

nutmeglynn

@breezybee now I'm craving peanut butter brownies!

My DH has been amazing since we found out. I've been super nervous and he's always so reassuring, taking the time to check on "us" while he's at work. I work swing shifts and he's even been texting me just to tell me how excited he is when he wakes up in the middle of the night and I'm at work. I can't imagine how he could be more supportive and I feel so lucky to have him! 
 Another awesome point for him unrelated to baby - he built me a brand new chicken palace for my birthday this weekend!

rachswi

I got invited to a direct sales party last night (for a company like Perfectly Posh), and I decided to go since she promised pampering. It started at 6, so my husband would have to put our son to bed without me. 

Not only did did he put our son to bed, but he took out the trash, did the dishes, cleaned the living room, vacuumed, AND got working on fixing one of DS's toys. 

AMCsquared

That's so fun @vvitchhazel ! Enjoy.
