Let's AW Our S/Os

It's been a while since we've shared the positive attributes of our significant others. Bonus points for pictures...

My husband has been fantastic since the beginning. He was an awesome birth coach and had been a 100% involved dad. Clara and I are so lucky to have him. We've been very spoiled with him home with us the past 2 weeks. I'm dreading him going back to his class schedule. Here he is last night, filing Clara's nails so she won't scratch us/herself anymore.

Haha, I just finished venting about SO lol but he is actually amazing.

He loves to cuddle with his son alllll the time. He is so proud to be a dad and brags about LO to anyone and everyone. Its so cute.

Also, he bought me flowers the other day because I was up with the baby all night due to colic. I had a bit of a anxiety attack the next day from being so tired. So he took the baby to his mom's for a few hours to let me sleep. That was really nice.

Here's a pic of my boys sleeping in together.

H has been mostly awesome, albeit with the expected annoying husband screw ups sometimes.

He was very supportive about my getting an epidural when we had both really really been hoping to go med-free. He stayed home with us for four weeks and says he wants to stay home even longer next time. And when he is home at night, he works nights so that will not be much anymore, he takes the early morning feeding which is the one that I hate doing.

My H is an amazing dad. When they took DS from me at birth and life flighted him to a bigger hospital with a Nicu, my H was on those drs like white on rice! He researched everything the drs talked about during rounds so he knew what in the hell they were saying, he made sure I ate during our Nicu stay (I was stressed and basically didn't want to leave DS bedside at all). He also makes dinner (even though he broke the kitchen sink and now we have to call a plumber). He kicked me out of the house this afternoon and told me to go clothes shopping! I'm pretty spoiled.

Sorry pic is sideways, stupid mobile bump :S

DH has been so great, today especially. I had an especially rough night, and he took LO first thing in the morning, cleaned the house while I napped, then forced me out of the house to go shopping alone. Sometimes I wonder how he can stay so calm and in control while I am having a breakdown from exhaustion.

Peedy · September 2014

DH has been absolutely amazing, he does so much that I literally feel guilty. Here is a picture of him skin-to-skin baby wearing

ungraceful13 · September 2014

DH is my rock. He gets up to soothe LO in the middle of the night and then gives him a bottle while I pump. He makes sure I get my me time when he gets home from work. He takes charge of diaper changing and what not so I can focus on feeding. He also wears our babies and that's just hot.

jenniferurs · September 2014

I honestly have the most amazing husband in the world. He's been home with me for the past month and he's been the biggest help. He's changed more diapers than I have and he's so loving and attentive towards our little girl. He's a champ at relieving her of her gas pain too. But even more importantly, like someone else said, it's amazing how incredibly calm he's able to stay, even when I'm freaking out. He's had 2 people to take care of this past month (with me having had a c-section) and he's still better able to keep his cool than I, who only has to care for our little girl. The patience on that man is truly incredible.

Oh and did I mention that he cooks, cleans, does laundry, takes care of the dogs, etc. etc. etc.? And that he'd wipe for me when I'd go to the bathroom the first week, because I couldn't yet reach all the way behind me? Or that he gave me an enema when the post-surgery constipation was too much for me to bear? Or tell me how proud of me he was when I was able to pass gas? And yet, after all of that, still tells me how beautiful I am and how he's never been more attracted to me.

Man deserves a medal.

Pic I took of the two of them sleeping below:

These are making me cry!

My DH helped me survive being a bridesmaid 4 weeks post partum this weekend. He was a good sport about traveling to the wedding even though he only knew a few people there. He cared for DD and DS by himself for large blocks of time, and kept both quiet during the whole ceremony. He brought DS to me to nurse but then would take him back so I could socialize some. One of my friends called him Superdad and he really is.

haliebabyx3 · September 2014

These are so sweet. H has been a rock for me. At 3 days PP and being taken back to the hospital for other issues he was by my side through it all, but also made sure LO was taken care of back home by my mom. He was there when I cried in the back of the ambulance about having to leave LO at 3 days old. Even while I was still out of it from surgery he stuck a pump to my boobs and went to town, it was a manual one and it had been 14 hours since LO had been on them or anything and I was super full. From that time we ended having to go to FF. I cried after feeling like I failed at BF'ing and he was there to tell me I was going to be okay and reminded me at least he is getting fed.

Eta:forgot to post a picture and now my phone is being crazy. Go figure.

RoccoBabyK · September 2014

H has been awesome throughout everything. How much he loves our daughter amazes me. He works almost full time and is a full time nursing student but still Helps me In every way he can. I am very thankful for him and all that he does.

cdseno · September 2014

Holy supportive, amazing SOs! I complain about my H a lot but he is really great. He works 50+ hours in a job he hates to provide for us while I stay home and go to school. Even when he is exhausted and barely gets any sleep he will still get up with DS1 and make him breakfast and take him out so I can get a break from being home with both kids. He isn't great in the new baby stage which his fine with me because I can deal with DS2 if he helps the older one. He was amazing during labor and so helpful as I was screaming and cussing because of the pain and after Max was born he publicly announced that he was amazed by me. All this has really just made me realize that through it all, I don't think I let him know enough how much I appreciate him.

Edit because I have too fat of fingers for mobile bumping.

happylady07 · September 2014

For the past several months, before baby was born and still now, DH takes DS1 every Saturday for a bike ride to the beach, giving me some time to myself in a quiet house with just the baby. He has also been fantastic about taking over bedtime for DS1, and is super helpful waiting on me hand and foot when I'm stuck on the couch nursing DS2.

wandsandwine · September 2014

DH and I both come from homes where our daddies left and to see how much love he has for our LO has been so amazing! Just watching him snuggle with him or try to teach him things about the world even though he's only 7 weeks always bring a tear to my eye. I have an amazing man!

I will always remember being in the hospital 1 day pp and DH thought I was asleep and he was talking to LO about all the things they will do together in life and his voice cracked and he started crying. Beautiful moment I was lucky enough to overhear

For our 10 yr anniversary 8/28, I got a new diamond band

[Deleted User] · September 2014

These are all so sweet! We are lucky ladies!

My H has been my rock, too. During pregnancy he spoiled me like crazy (I didn't do a dish for 9 months!). During delivery, well, I can't even begin to explain other to say that I would have crumbled without him. He made a scary situation much less scary, even though he was also scared. Post partum, I was really vulnerable. He helped me shower, took care of DS when I was unable to, supported me when I was struggling with bf and then again when bf failed. He never makes me feel bad when my PPA rears up, which I'm sure is difficult cuz I can get pretty unreasonable. Oh, and he cleaned both bathrooms when my OB's great idea to use 2 suppositories completely caused some pooping hell on earth. And he still loves and thinks I'm sexy and is amazing. We both love music, and hearing him sing to DS melts my heart...the day we brought him home and sang him Billy Joel's Goodnight, My Angel had us both crying. My love for him has multiplied by a thousand to a level I didn't even know existed, and I've always loved him incredibly...going through this together just brought things to a whole nutha level, as my pastor would say. Haha. Here's a skin to skin fist bump!

klauke_t13 · September 2014

Loving all of these!
My hubs has been totally amazing! He was a huge support for me during labor and was so helpful after. I had a 4th degree tear, and he took such good care of bith of us. And now that I'm still having trouble breastfeeding, he has been so supportive. From keeping my water glass filled, taking care of cleaning and cooking, and just holding me when I have a meltdown. He didn't have any experience with babies and still gets nervous when Aiden cries, but he loves to hold him and play with him.

Eta- stupid mobile won't let me post a pic.

tamarar5 · September 2014

My DH had been slacking a little on the helpfulness lately, which frustrates me to no end and make me feel like I'm completely alone in patenting, so threads like this really help me remember all the awesome things he does.

During labor and delivery with Amelia, he really was my rock. The induction was so slow and not really working, the epidural wore off in one spot, leaning me in agony, and then I started bleeding heavily. He was steady and solid as a rock. Sitting in the or before they started, he took my hand and held it tightly and asked how I was doing. When I told him how scared I was, he just held my hands tighter and promised everything would be okay. And of course it was. He was super amazing after too. He isn't afraid to change diapers, or clean up puke.

He really is my better half. Thanks for reminding me how much I love him!

shugirl76 · September 2014

Here is my hot rod and our little family! He can drive me crazy like no one else can, but he is the foundation for our family!

smcsharry15 · September 2014

My H is amazing. I bitch at/about him a lot... More than I should...

This is our second DS, so it was pretty old hat at this point. This DS was 1 billion times easier than DS1 (who had a NICU stay due to a heart condition and was on medication every six hours for his first 11 months). I haven't needed help with the newborn, but man the toddler whips my butt sometimes. H makes sure to help all he can with DS1, and lets me vent to him (even about MIL), let's me sleep in on days that he doesn't have to work quite so early... He works tirelessly to keep our businesses going (agriculture, so it is 24/7/365), he not only supports and tolerates my horses/career - he encourages it too. His hard work has enabled me to stay home with our boys, which has always been my dream.

He's my better half, my best friend, and the only man I could ever want as the father/Daddy for my boys.

SLMckinnon · September 2014

My DH has been absolutely amazing. He was home with DD and I for a week and did EVERYTHING so all I had to focus on was recovering and feeding LO. He loves to hold and baby wear our little girl and is already such an amazing daddy! He is so supportive, I know I couldn't do this without him! He was so excited last night to put LO in a football onesie to watch her first Monday night football game with daddy, melts my heart ❤️
