The husband had a snow day today, while I just had a 2 hour delay. If it was me, I would have spent the whole day on the couch. He cleaned the whole house, bought me flowers, and had a delicious dinner in the crockpot (a whole chicken with vegetables). Then he came with me to get my blood drawn. He's the best. Karma worked out pretty well for him. He has another snow day tomorrow.
My husband is always great, but the in the past 24 hours he's gone grocery shopping while I napped & made me breakfast in bed this morning he's the best.
I was dying in my last two sessions (4 hours ) with the worst tension headache I have ever had. Called husband to tell him I was on my way home and asked if he could start a bath for me. No questioning or complaining he did it even kept the door shut so it would stay warm! Best husband ever!
I ended up with a small flu bug last night. After throwing up for the first time this entire pregnancy he went out and bought ginger ale, 7up and Sprite so I would have choices, saltine crackers and chicken noodle soup. This was at 10 pm. He also texted me throughout the day to check up on me and wanted to know what the doctor said (I called to make sure I wouldn't need to go in). He even made me dinner tonight (one piece of toast, but still), all this after being out of the house for over 12 hours for work.
DH texted me that he's officially down 21 pounds. I think he' s only been dieting/working out for 2 weeks... MEN! I'm so proud of him. He really needed to make a change to his diet (especially because he travels for work so much) and has actually started to work out. DH works in college athletics, so I think it's definitely important for his career that he looks the part. He put on his "skinny" pants the other day and looked so handsome. I know he's excited to be able to wear clothes that have been packed away for a while.
His dad was recently diagnosed with diabetes and I think that prompted him to make positive life changes now, especially with our 2nd kid on the way. I'm just so proud. His family all carries extra weight really easily whereas I'm just naturally skinny. I know it's a challenge for him and he's totally putting in a lot of effort to do this!
This pregnancy has been a complete difference than our pregnancy with our son. I have had more nausea this time around and last week our son had a throat infection and dealing with him I ended up getting it plus the stomach flu. I stayed at my parents for two days so he could sleep and go to work fully-rested and on the Friday I came home, he had cleaned the kitchen - done the dishes - mopped and tidied the main floor.
He's been so great during this pregnancy that sometimes we miss him too much when he's at work.
DH has been awesome lately with picking up the slack around the house. He was out of town for 5 days last week and since he came back he's been really snuggly and affectionate. He takes these trips every couple of months but hadn't taken one since we got married/moved/got pregnant and he said he missed me more than ever. He's been more attentive to the pregnancy, making sure I eat and am feeling ok. This morning he brought me breakfast in bed. I'm loving it!
Last night my husband took me to a Blazers game (and we won!), but while walking back to the car (we parked about a mile away because I hate dealing with stadium parking and I don't mind walking if it means not waiting an hour to get out of the lot) I got really overheated and queasy out of nowhere. I had to throw up on the side of the road in front of a bunch of strangers. So embarrassing. My wonderful husband helped me in the car and took me to get froyo, which is all I had been wanting all day long.
Then this morning I felt terrible because I slept like garbage and he let me go back to sleep and he walked the dog, went and got coffee, and brought home my favorite jalapeño cheddar bagels for breakfast, all before he had to leave for work. What a guy.
I have been sick with Influenza. Dh has picked up my slack, taken care of me, the 2 kids and still gone to school. When I try to help, he stops me and says 'you need to focus on getting better' and puts me back in bed.
Yesterday I took the kids (ages 5 and 7) to the zoo. By the time I got home I was exhausted. On top of that my girl needed anther lice treatment. We've been battling it for a short amount of time but I am so done. I just couldn't. So I asked my hubby if he would head this one off while I took a "short nap". He complied and I was off. At this point it was nearly 6. We both knew my nap would turn into bedtime and that I had no intentions of coming back out, especially since my brother in law and his girlfriend were coming over. instead of complaining he did the lice treatment, cleaned the house, got the kids to bed and brought me home dinner which he brought back to my bedroom. He periodically came and checked on me as the evening went on until I was asleep. AND when he came to bed he didn't try to wake me up for Sex. He's the best
What a positive thread! My DH is also the best haha. He works 7 days a week most weeks and still tries his best to help around the house when he can He makes time for DS and is the cutest, most caring dad! Even when lately my requests might be a little demanding/hormonal he is still incredibly patient, even though I probably wouldn't be that patient with myself lol
Okay so I have to brag many of you know my husband isn't the overly thoughtful romantic type. So I slept terribly all night with hip pain and had to go to a session for work while I was gone he put together our baby swing and had it set up and drew me a candle lit bubble bath that was ready for me when I got home and was busy cleaning the apartment. I am blown away!
Just started our registry at buy buy baby per DH's request. He just out of the blue asked if we could do it today so of course I said yes! He looked so cute and excited scanning items and asking the sales rep questions. I know lots of men hate this kind of stuff which made it that much more endearing.
A few nights ago, my husband and I were talking about birth plans and epidurals (he didn't know what one was - thought it was just a "big painkiller" so I had to show him a video!) and I asked him if he had any wishes about what happens in L&D. He just looked at me funny and said, "like what?" I told him some men have preferences for med-free births or whatever and he just rolled his eyes and said, "I want you to be as comfortable as possible and I just want you and the baby to be okay. Besides, you're the one that has to do all the hard stuff. Isn't it kind of assholish to ask you to do something that would make ME feel more comfortable when you're going through all of that?" I love him so much!
ETA - I also asked if he wants to cut the cord and he just said, "am I supposed to?" He's clueless but I love him anyway! But he'd better start reading those books I bought him, haha.
Since being diagnosed with a hematoma, my wonderful husband has been doing everything around the house. I can't carry anything, I'm not allowed to clean, and I shouldn't be taking the dog out (except when I get home from work since I'm home 3 hours before him and the dog has been alone all day). He really has made sure I'm not doing too much so that baby and I can stay healthy.
My husband and I were watching a basketball game the other night and he leaned over and started talking to my belly and asking the baby how it was doing in there. I cried. Then he asked if we could read The Hobbit to the baby when we go to bed. I swear, I fall more in love all the time.
This might be AW-y and I apologize in advance but I'm so excited. So I don't work, although I had up until last month. I went down to Nashville to do some work for the show Nashville and when I moved back after the season was done filming DH and I decided there was no point in me going back to work for a few months when I'm going to be a SAHM. Well on top of my twice a week blowouts DH hasn't once complained that I still continue, I just got my "early" Valentines Day present... For the next two months he booked and paid for bi-weekly prenatal massages because I have been complaining about my back! I feel so incredibly lucky/spoiled.
@Shelby00519 enjoy! When we found out I was pregnant, my husband got me a prenatal package with my fav masseuse, 9 massages total. It's the best gift I think I've EVER gotten
DH will text me once, sometimes several times a week telling me that he misses me and baby. Then when I get home from work around 7 he is waiting for me with a big hug. After I'm sitting down, eating the dinner that he's usually already made for me, he likes to talk to baby about how his day was and what he did at work that day, and make sure he tells baby how much he loves him or her. He is the sweetest.. I am so lucky to have this man as my baby's father
My husband and I said no gifts for Valentine's Day this year but this gets sent to the office today with a card saying, "flowers die, bears don't". We are kids at heart too.
I seriously love this man! He sent me 100 roses to work today! I could only fit half of them in the vases that we keep at work! They're so beautiful. The note said "I wanted to make sure there were enough for you and our bump. I love you." I started crying! He's too sweet!
