Brag on your DH!

in July 2012 Moms

I don't know about you guys but my DH has really had to step it up since I've been sick and have had zero energy since about 9 weeks.

Despite working 80-90 hours a week (don't worry, he loves his job and a good bit of that is from home), he has been doing most all the laundry, dealing with the dogs, picking up around the house, doing the grocery shopping, etc. He came home from a week-long business trip Friday and spent most of yesterday cleaning.

I'll I've really dont is cook the occasional meal. When someone else does the shopping and cleaning up, cooking isn't too bad!

    It makes me a little sad that not too many people have wanted to brag on DH's yet...maybe Sunday's are slow. 

    99.9% of the time I have a sweet, loving, understanding DH who has been incredibly flexible since I've been pregnant. (my need for a 3hr nap post school being one aspect he has just accepted without complaint) 

    This week...he's fallen in a bit of the 0.01%, but this is not the rag on DH post!  

     Overall, I think I picked good, and he's a ginger which just makes him that much cuter to me. Wink

    My DH is becoming a dad for the 2nd time in 23 years.  He is a bit older than I am.  He has really stepped it up too! 

     His brother is living with us as he has colon cancer and had a colectomy and is now getting chemo therapy.  So, not only does he take care of the things that I am not feeling up to doing, he is also taking his brother to appointments and cooking for him as well.  He also owns his own dental lab and works 6 days a week!

    The other night, I rolled over to switch positions and had some round ligament pain.  It brings me to tears every time.  So, I have to cry myself back to sleep.  He did reach over and quietly rub my back.  It was pretty sweet!  

    Most days are going well but, I have those occasional days when the m/s and emotions are out of control.  He brings me flowers and all sorts of treats.  

     I could go on and on!  Thanks...that was fun!

    DH is doing all the laundry today and vacuuming the whole house while he colors, plays hide and seek and plays a matching game!  He rocks.  I know once football starts at 3:30 he will be done, but THANK YOU!

    This brag is career related. H works 100+ hours a week (again, another one who loves his job), so I handle most of the "life" stuff. 

    H was recently featured in an article in a London newspaper. The article profiled the company he works for and his boss chose him to be profiled to represent the company. Best part? I found out about the article on Facebook. My best friend in London opened the newspaper, snapped a picture of the article, and posted it to his Facebook page. When I asked him why he didn't tell me, he said "because it's not a big deal." He's so freakishly modest. So I'll brag for him ;)

    DH works from home and does ALL the grocery shopping, cooking, and cleaning. This morning I had a huge craving for pancakes and he went out and bought the ingredients and made some for me!

    I'm really pleased with my fiance and how he's taken on more tasks. For example, I don't think I've had to cook anything since morning sickness hit, and even though that's been gone for a few weeks he still insists upon cooking for me. He also has an obsessive streak of making sure I get "all the good stuff" so tailors these meals to what he's read pregnant women need...it's actually really cute. He also carries everything, even single grocery bags, because he doesn't want me to be too tired. I've tried explaining I can manage now that the sickness is gone, but he wants to do everything so I let him. It's wonderful.

    I love these posts! My DH is so excited about being a daddy. He's already planning on paternity leave (he works for a family business so it's not an issue) and then working from home for a while when the baby is still little. He's dying to teach our little guy sports and is even a little worried that he doesn't know as much about baseball as he does about basketball and football. He was planning on doing the same for a daughter, but I think he feels a little more on the spot now.

    I'm really glad he's taking over the athletic stuff, for this baby and our next ones, because I'm not super athletically-inclined and am perfectly happy in a 45 minute elliptical session ;)

    hmmm...where to begin...even before we were pregnant he was pretty awesome...

    He gets up at 5 to give me my thyroid meds so I can have coffee as soon as I wake up (you are supposed to wait an hour after taking it to eat/drink anything other than water,) he does dishes way more often than I do, and paints my toenails for me whenever I ask.  He always calls before he leaves work to see if I want or need anything, and since we have been pregnant he regularly stocks up my pickle and chocolate ganache cake supply without being asked to.  Today, he put together the stroller while I slept in :)  He even goes to babies r us without complaint, and is at every appointment with me.  I could go on....Yes

    For our anniversary a couple of weeks ago, DH worked with a jewelry designer to create a beautiful "Twins" necklace as my gift. It finally arrived this week, and it's amazing! It's a little silver pea pod with two green pearls inside. He came up with the idea and the design all on his own.  Big Smile

    My hubby is such a sweetheart and wonderful person.  He has been reading baby books and talking to my belly and just been more than I could have ever asked for in a husband.  He always cooks for me so that's not a pregnancy thing, but he is a massage therapist and has done such wonderful things to make me more comfortable in my growing pregnancy body.  I dont know what I'd do without him!
