Things SO has said/done

I know there was a thread of this a while back but I couldn't find it in a search so I thought I'd start up a new one.

A coworker of hubby's is expecting and he's been telling her things to try to help prepare her. He was sent to the drug store a lot after DS for postpartum items and told her she would need some heavy maxi pads and the ones with wings are nicer. She argued and said her doctor would've told her if she needed anything like that but later asked her OB about it. Hubby has been gloating a bit now.

    I love when my hubby puts his hand on my belly to feel kicks. Not too long ago he thought he felt the hardest kick and was freaking out! I didn't have the heart to tell him it was just gas. Haha

    Also ditto to @BabyRut2015 ! My husband was dumbfounded when I told him she would be sleeping in the bassinet by our bed! He couldn't have honestly thought I was going to get up and go to her room multiple times a night! [-(

    I'm not sure if this qualifies but my husband asked if I wanted to put our spare bed in the nursery...for convenience of us taking care of LO....

    I was so confused, until I realized he had NO idea that the baby would be in our room for the 1st few months. I don't know what on earth he thought the bassinet was for....hahaha. Looks like we may need to have a talk before baby comes....lol.

    This is one point where I do have to brag on hubby a little. His last job was at a casino and he goes back sometimes to visit with former coworkers. One day he came home and told me he got me a bassinet. One of his former coworkers offered us hers.

    My husband insisted on my getting a brestfriend, got me a snoogle for my back, carries things, adheres to my cravings, came with me to do the registry and partakes in my baby item research, backs my decisions on baby raising and so on, came with me to check out a day care, spent time with me and my mom on the registry separately, helps me clean, picks me up from work, teaches me how to play our cool new video games so that the baby can be our player 3 one day. My husband is just all around effin' awesome. Glad I married him. I'm going to read this aloud to him now lol.

    I want to love this so much. It's those simple acts of love that to me mean the most. The last week or so the muscles on the sides of my belly feel really tight and strained. I mentioned to hubby one day it felt good when he had his hands there because his hands are always so warm. Now he's constantly holding his hands over my sides to try to help me feel more comfortable.

    I'm pretty sure I would die if a male coworker started discussing postpartum and winged maxi pads with me. LOL.

    At least she's prepared now.

    I work with a lot of male nurses. It didn't even cross my mind that this advice might be weird to receive from a male co-worker. Guess health care is a a different ball game or we're just a close group? Lol

    After my glucose test the Hubs fed me, drove me home, and we were relaxing in the living room before he went to work. I guess he noticed I fell asleep so he closed the blinds, turned the tv down, and let the dogs outside so I could have a peaceful nap before I cleaned up the house. He's also been there to keep me from eating too much junk food. I have a sweet tooth for the artificial fruit gummy candy so he bought me some dried fruit to bring to work instead.

    I giggle every night we go to bed because he now sleeps with just as many pillows as I do! He calls it his wedge and absolutely has to have a pillow under his belly. It's too cute. Haha

    There was some weird goo on my boot. He scrubbed it off for me. I had gotten all sad thinking I couldn't wear it, but he fixed it. Yay!

    My husband does things like this for me - fixing the little "crises" that pop up. He's amazing. And he always cleans up my pregnancy vomit if I don't make it to the bathroom in time. I always feel terrible about it but he insists!

    Last night when we were hanging out, he was looking at my growing belly with admiration. Really made me feel good since I am all belly (I think he is LOT with his spine really rounding out my belly).

    In the middle of the night, I stretched my arm out and found his hand folded back under his pillow. I take his hand and then he started rubbing on my fingers. I told him this morning and he has no recollection of holding my hand hahaha

    This wasn't something my husband said, but close enough. I have 3 sisters & two of them haven't had great luck with their husbands. One is divorced (husband cheated), & we all wish the other one would get divorced (he's verbally abusive to my sister.) Anyway, my shower was on Sunday & my husband told me last night that afterwards, my mom gave him a hug & pulled him down close to her & said low in his ear, "Take care of her. If you hurt her, I'll break both your legs." !!! Good news for my mom, I think I lucked out with my man, but she'll always worry about me. I guess that's part of what we have to look forward to, right?

    Every time I walk past hubby he reaches out and touches my belly with such love and wonder in his expression. It makes me stop and for a moment feel so blessed. I'm pretty sure every time I fall a little more in love with him. I feel the same way whenever I see him with DS and he's gotten him to sleep and just sits there a while gazing at him similar to how he looks at my belly.

    "Wow, can't imagine what your belly would look like if you didn't lotion!" I then went to the mirror (can't see below my belly button) and discovered some darker purple stretch marks haha. He didn't mean it like that, he thinks stretch marks are really interesting (he's weird), and realized what he said wasn't the nicest thing afterwards...

    Later that night he was talking to my belly and the baby and saying how they gotta make sure to pamper "momma" and learn what things aren't very nice to say to a lady hehe. He's such a sweet doofus.

    This is what my hubby calls "dunlaps" as in "your belly dun lapped yer boobs". Not a single time has it been funny but he still gets that cheesy grin like he's such a genius.

    Why do they think this is funny?! I have decent sized boobs, so you basically just called your pregnant wife fat. Good job, men of the world! [-(

    I've been going crazy over the nursery lately and making sure our son has everything he needs before he gets here. I was venting to my husband and he told me everything would be okay I was just "nesting". It was the sweetest thing ever that he's actually reading his baby book!!

    He's also gotten more touchy-feely with my tummy lately which is something that I love and melts my little heart.

    Well ladies... Those of you that have very sweet and supportive husbands, do not take it for granted. I love my husband, but he is not the sweet and sappy kind of guys. He jokes about how big I am and is freaked out by babies moving. He is grosses out by birth and anything that goes along with it. Sometimes I feel slighted. But most times he surprises me in other ways...I got sick this morning so he hung out with the older kids so I could rest. Then he cleaned the house. Then moved the furniture in baby's room where I wanted it...he has fractured ribs...so for him this was a sweet and loving gesture.

    Hubby had a class at the DPS Academy about assisting with childbirth, in case they pull over someone who is in labor it if it's an emergency or something. He said they had to watch a graphic video of birth, showing all the lady bits. Haha. He was so freaked out, he said he hoped I wouldn't be offended if he didn't want to be involved in the process - he doesn't even want to cut the cord or hold the baby til he's cleaned up and not bloody. I told him he may feel differently in the moment, but that's why my mom will be there too. :)

    Hubby went through this just with knowing he has an issue with seeing blood. They told him there'd be a sheet covering things and just to focus on my face or the wall behind my head. He still peeked and got sick and nearly fainted. Lesson learned, he will not be supporting my leg when I'm pushing again. I was pushing when he got faint and I ended up supporting a nearly 300lb hubby with my leg. If your hubs doesn't think he can handle the blood, don't push it or expect him to change his mind.

    @haylierm lol Gotta love an honest man. Mine has never had a filter so I expect it but sometimes it's a little more honestly than I'd like, especially when he's in his moods where he likes to push limits. A favorite seems to be calling me phat. If I get upset or glare he just goes "what? You don't want to be told you're pretty hot and tempting?" Not in acronym form, no.

    I was looking at older (three year old) pictures of myself. I made the comment: "Dang, I looked pretty hot back then! I actually have great muscle tone when I try to make an effort."

    His response: "Yeah, you don't stay UN-PREGNANT long enough to see your abs. Maybe you should ask the doctor what they look like while she has you open (3rd csection)".

    Thanks, honey.

    In his "defense", I have been pregnant 3 times in the past three years. One successful, one miscarriage, and this one.

    Lol right? I prefer the kind of honesty that's silent and involves bringing me food and rubbing my feet. Lol

    ... wait, that's what "phat" means? Apparently I live under a rock.
