Can I re-marry this man??

Ugh! My husband has been so stinkin' amazing since our daughter was born. All I want to do is thank him and hug him and never let go. Last night he took baby girl downstairs and sang to her and put a movie in for himself so I could get some zzz's. When I awoke I was so refreshed! He's just the best! The nurses at the hospital said they were super impressed with him and now I know why! He is a part of this team and giving as much as he can (BF'ding) he's even said he can't wait until I start pumping so he can build a better bond with Sweet Lucy. I love this man. #swoon


I hope no matter who your support is that everyone at some point feels this feeling that I do... I'm glad I decided he was the one that would bring a life into this world with me

    I feel this. My husband is amazing and I totally don't deserve him. The nurses kept saying we were a good team during labor lol.

    Mine has been the same way. The other day I hit my sleep deprived breaking point. He took the baby and told me to go to bed for a few hours. He makes sure I have enough snacks and drinks while I'm feeding our little one. He loves snuggling with her. He changes her diaper at night before I feed her. I couldn't ask for a better partner to raise our daughter with. I hope our little girl finds someone just as wonderful as her daddy some day.

    Yup. I'm feeling the same way. : ) since we started dating, I have been so excited to have children with him. It's even better than I imagined. He is an amazing dad. I absolutely love seeing him hold and cuddle our baby girl.

    Shout out for my amazing DH, too! We've gone from a 1 to a 2 child household and he is continuing to be as awesome as ever now that we have multiple Littles at home. And the extra sweetness is that our LO's are girls. :)

    @tracij12, love your comment! Thank you for posting. I think a lot of guys are extremely nervous with newborns/infants. I know my hubby has been slightly different with our LO than I expected him to be - not in a bad way and not in a good way - just different. I've learned my big teddy bear of a hubby is just intimidated by how small and fragile our LO is. It's like he thinks he's going to hurt him, and he doesn't like it when LO cries and he doesn't know how to calm him. He always just passes him to me and says he's hungry (I'm EBF). My hubby is amazing, and I just know he's going to be the BEST toddler dad. We have little nieces and nephews, so I've seen him in action before. ;) Sometimes it just takes time for things to click, and I like that you've pointed that out for anyone, like me, who is just being patient and waiting for things to fall into place. My hubby will do whatever I ask of him but, like yours, his instinct isn't necessarily there yet. I think he's just nervous still.

    I echo the gratefulness. My husband is amazing. He cooked for months during my nausea, will go food shopping any time, he changes diapers several times a day, and will help with the baby without question. Atop all of that, he spent the day with baby on my first day back to work, and he was fantastic. No words can describe how much I love him.

    So much I could say, but just four things for now:

    1) My husband asked me if it was ok if he picked up baby for a little while so he could just hang out with him. Oh. My. Sweetness.

    2) In his sleep, DH just said happily and proudly, "Good job, Jonathan" or something really close! He's even thinking about him in his sleep! :)

    3) He definitely likes to manage to get his sleep, but has said that I can wake him up to help with anything. So far that's been after I feed him -I have new dad burp, calm, and lay baby down for sleep again so I can get a head start getting back to sleep.

    4) DH is a pro at burping him. He can coax a burp out within just a minute or two. I think I have yet to get a single burp out!

    So blessed God directed me to this man to be my husband and father of my child.

    @kaza512 your comment so hits home. I was super independent until I had DS, but being a new mom has really thrown me for a loop and made me appreciate DH sooo much!

    My husband had been so incredibly amazing with our son. This is a first child for both of us but he seems more informative than I am since he's always researching things for our baby. He comes home from work and immediately takes the baby so I can have "me time" everyday! I'm so glad we all are having a great experience with our DH's! So often in here all I see is women complaining about how unhelpful their partners are, it really makes me appreciate mine!!!

    Here, here! A toast to the gentlemen! I'm so glad that he's there for you and your precious daughter! 

    I, too, can't even begin to express how much more in love with my husband I am than ever before. FAR more than the day we were married and we were highschool sweethearts and still gooey, wide eyed teenagers in love so that is really saying something. I feel like every hardship we've had in our relationship has just melted away, like we have a brand new start, a clean slate. He is the most wonderful, proud and goofy father. He has me come to his work so he can parade our son around to everyone there. On weekends when he stays up all night he'll let me sleep straight through a 6 hour span of time. He told me yesterday how I need to stop taking everything on myself and let him take over stuff. I explained that since I'm on mat leave but he's working full time PLUS an on call position I felt like I should and he scoffed and told me he would take over ALL the household chores. He tells me I'm beautiful every day and reminds me when I'm at my lowest points that no matter what I think I AM a good mother. He rambles on about situations we'll experience together as a family in the future and all the ways he can be that dad who embarrasses their kid when friends come over (in a loving way). He talks about our son's siblings who are still years away... have I mentioned I LOVE this man? That's exactly what he's become, actually, a man. Fatherhood, in just 2 weeks, has turned him (well, us both) into a completely different person. One who is more understanding, more willing to express his thoughts and emotions, more patient with me, more attentive what's going on in the present moment. Sorry, I didn't anticipate gushing this much, it just feels REALLY good to be able to share this! Very glad you started this thread! 

    I'm glad we all seem to be getting the support we've always desired, even if it's been a tough road getting here! Enjoy your SO's and LO's, ladies!!!!

    I didn't even think it would be possible to love my husband more then I already did! I feel like we are newlyweds again! And we are also high school sweethearts. When we got married I figured that was like the most in love I would ever get, but watching him with our daughter, and then the way he has been dotting on me, it's like we reached a whole new level. If I ever say I feel frumpy or ugly or I hate my stretch marks, he goes off on a rant about how I'm more beautiful to him now then I've ever been and he finds my stretch marks so sexy cause it means I brought a life into the world and there is nothing more beautiful. And tonight we are actually going out on a date and I have been listening to him be giddy about it all day he is so excited. I'm so so thankful for this man....
