Our Thoughtful DHs
Emerald27

My grandmother passed away in the spring of 2012, and she left me a few things including a pretty little ring that only fit her teeny fingers (not my big ole 7.5s). I put it in my jewelry box and hadn't thought of it in a long time.
About a month ago, I had to remove my wedding bands. They were too tight, leaving a crease and turning my finger red and sore by evening. I was sad to have to go without them and mentioned it to DH.
Well he took that ring out of my jewelry box and had it resized to fit me so that I could have a ring to wear in the absence of my wedding bands. It was so simple and thoughtful that it made me tear up. He gave it to me yesterday:
What is something super sweet and thoughtful that your DH has done lately? Or what sorts of little things does he do to remind you of his love? :x

Re: Our Thoughtful DHs
Mines not as fun, but we just finished moving from the apartment we were in for 5 years to our new house. I thought I'd have to spend a bunch of time this week scrubbing the old place before we turn in the keys but DH surprised me and hired someone to do it so I wouldn't have to. He said I did enough getting the new place ready. Me (and my achy back) are super grateful.
Mine has been working his butt off getting the exterior of our house repainted. I'm very happy that I'm pregnant right now. I get to supervise a lot
My dh has been busting his butt building a deck off our house to the pool and patio in our backyard. It is looking awesome and I can't wait until it's done. Going to be so much easier getting in and out!

It's a GIRL!!!
My DH does little things here and there, but by far the sweetest thing he has done was cleaning the whole house when I was sick in bed a few weeks ago. It practicly brought me to tears.

Mine is that we had to stay at a hotel Friday night. DH switched sides of the bed because that side was closer to the door, and made sure all was secure and locked up. He is very supportive and works hard to provide for our family.

My husband reorganized our books all by himself on Friday, since we got new shelving (not an easy task with our collection), and he was a super helpful advocate for me at the ER last night. I think he's going to do great during labor.
DH is really sweet and does lots of the little things like rub my feet and frequently ask if I need anything.
For a big thing he did recently...hmmm...well, he just left a job he loved two weeks ago to work for a private large law firm where he works 11 hour days and has to go in some on Saturday mornings. The pay is great and he knows it is better long term financially for our future and our LO.
I'm proud of him for doing something so selfless for our family. I know he loved where he worked. It'll help in the long run not having the law school student loans and helping our kids through college one day though.

Oh, and bringing home my weird cravings when he gets off is nice. XD
DH hasn't done anything that sweet, but he's constantly making sure I don't carry anything and always asks on Sundays if I'd like to take a nap. Yesterday he went out of his way to bring me a pair of pants at work after mine had spontaneously split all along the back pocket. Luckily I had a long top that covered the gaping hole that exposed my butt, so it wasn't a huge emergency. Right now he's out getting hot wings for dinner
Any morning that I don't have to work, he brings me breakfast in bed. Sometimes it's just cereal, other times it's French toast and bacon. We eat in bed then snuggle while discussing what to do that day.
If it's a day I do work, he rubs my feet when I get home.
So sweet!
My SO has been very thoughtful/helpful all along. This weekend he took me to Panera to get the cheddar broccoli soup I have been obsessing over and then bought me a comfy pair of flip flops because I have been complaining about my feet hurting a lot. He has also been doing the majority of the laundry and dishes, carrying groceries etc for me. It's been great!

My DH will randomly surprise me with flowers or a card from time to time. But last night he did bath duty for DD and woke up in the middle of the night to change her diaper and give her a bottle (without being asked).. he knew I have a busy/hectic week ahead at work and kicked in... soo nice when you don't have to ask for the extra help!
My DH does mostly little things, but they add up. Like knowing I wanted a little table for the patio so when we BBQ on our small charcoal grill (some day a nice gas one will be bought) I don't have to try a balance the plates of food on slanted chairs (next year a nice patio set will be bought too) and just showing up with it one day....or telling me to rest when we are supposed to be prepping dinner together or cleaning my plate after I come down late from a long work day for a late dinner, so I can go take a shower. Like I said, small things - but him trying every day to take care of me, means a lot.
