Thoughful Thursday

Name one thing that is thoughtful and would tell your DH/SO without hormones getting on the way......
Re: Thoughful Thursday
I know that a lot of women prefer not to be treated as if they can't do anything while pregnant, but I am going to live this one up.
I don't have to bring the garbage cans out on garbage day? Ok. I don't have to help you shovel the 12 inches of snow we just got? Ok.
Probably more of an UO, but hey I hate shoveling snow.

The other night I made garlic noodles and chicken breasts and when I opened up my lunch container he had cut all the chicken into cubes for me. I appreciated it SO much. It was such a tiny thing, but I felt it was really thoughtful.

Baby #2 due December 2017
He's a terrrrible cook, but he's been cooking every night for the last few months because even still preparing food totally turns me off eating it / makes me sick to my stomach. And - he's eaten his own cooking without a word of complaint.
After starting my daycare search yesterday and finding out about recent stories on abuse/neglect, I got all emotional and started crying. I texted DH freaking out about the thought of someone pinching our 3 mth old (this really happened at a nearby daycare) & leaving bruises. Then I cried some more because for a moment I thought about my pre-pregnant life and how different things are now (don't get me wrong, I cannot wait to meet my LO). And then I cried my eyes out feeling guilty for slightly missing my old self and felt bad for Peanut if she knew how I felt.
All around a hit fking mess, I know. He called me in the midst of all these self reflections asking if I was okay. I told him I'd be alright but I kept crying and couldn't stop!! I knew he had a long night at the office so I told him I'll be fine.
Half an hour later, I'm sitting on the couch crying holding a fking banana in my hand. Then all of the sudden, I hear keys rattling and our front door opens. There he is, like some kind of a superhero in the middle of the day.
He came home before his next event/meeting to spend that hour he has and brought drunken noodles from my fave thai place and a slice of cake (my current craving). I felt so bad but crying on his shoulders made things all better. I just have to say...he really is too good to me. I need to remember this more next time my raging hormones push him away. Ugh!
I am so grateful for my DH's constant desire to make sure I'm happy. I was feeling pretty isolated and just blah last weekend so he got his sister to babysit and took me into the city for a date night to our favorite restaurant in our old neighborhood. It was super sweet and much needed!
But since I got pregnant he has taken on more house work and the grocery shopping. Sometimes I feel self conscious with the weight I've gained and how different I look, but every day he tells me I'm beautiful. And he truly makes me feel like I am. I really appreciate everything he does for me.
Idk if this is bc of my hormones but lately I'm so paranoid something is going to happen to DH. We'd be having a great walk around the neighborhood, talking about whatever, and picking up our dog's poop and then all of the sudden, I feel like crying thinking, "imagine he was gone one day, what would I do? I'll miss these walks. What about the baby? Omg."
He tells me to enjoy and live in the moment but I keep thinking of the worst lately and am super protective of him. He wanted to go on a run at 9 PM albeit street lights and people still out and about (we live in the city), I told him I'd feel better if he ran the next morning. Aye aye aye. I didn't feel this way until ze baby. Hmm.
