After a week of long days and late nights, I have a whole new appreciation for not having to do bedtime most of the time. It is so amazing and nice that bedtime has always been time with Daddy and I now know just how much I value an hour to myself at night.
My parents came in town and my H worked his ass off cooking and cleaning for them( he’s the chef around here ) . My dad said my H made him the best bbq shrimp he ever had which is high praise in Louisiana!

I sighed loudly and he got up to help with the dishes. This sounds like I'm complaining. But legit I was impressed. He hates the dishes and it's always been my chore to do them in our house.
DH put up pegboard in our garage a free weeks ago and just now actually started hanging things. So I can park in the garage again! Just in time for winter.

He’s been gone for basically the entirety of two months. And he’s gone for one more. But he’s getting promoted when he comes back, and I’m just so happy and proud of him.
He got quite a bit done today after a busy weekend of working during the day and Halloween festivities at night. Leaves are raked (2nd time in a week, probably one more round to fall), trampoline is down (kids are not thrilled), garage is cleaned, and Christmas lights are down from the attic ready to go up outside in the next couple of weeks!
During the work week, we wake up at 5:15-30am, so our puppy is used to getting up then too... which he unfortunately also does on the weekends we could sleep much later. My husband got up pre-dawn both days this weekend and dealt with the pup and let me stay in bed both days. Heavenly and thoughtful.
Normally tap water is fine but lately I've been craving really cold water and not liking the taste of the tap water. Hubby surprised me with a water cooler! My new best friend!!! So refreshing.
We went to The Melting Pot on Saturday (we had a coupon-yay!) and he let me eat more than my fair share of the dessert I could've eaten another entire plate haha
Yesterday was my birthday. Normally he doesn’t make a big deal of birthdays, but he arranged his parents to babysit so we could go out, bought me gifts, and even put up a sweet fb post!
Awwwww I'm loving all of these sweet posts about SOs! I just love that my DH gets me to laugh and not take this whole thing too seriously, and to remember that this is supposed to be *fun* and not just stressful. He's also super supportive of my general spaciness lately - I apologized for being spacey this weekend and he said "Yeah I didn't want to say anything but this pregnancy brain thing is real, man" and encouraged me to write things down. *edit* I just realized that my sentence above sounds like he's encouraging my spaciness and I just meant he's not giving me a hard time about it...god my brain is melting.
@nancysimp I am such a princess with tap water hahaha. I literally can't stand it. Ours always tastes, and smells like bleach. I love that your SO bought you a water cooler.
He knows how miserable I am, I have been firm for the last 6 years I was not having a 3rd baby. He even twice requested a vasectomy which we assume his dr never put in for because he is “so young” at 35... Well one condom malfunction later here we are.
Pregnancy and and I never got along but it’s 1000 times worse 6 years older. He’s been so attentive this time, always making sure I’m as comfortable as possible, trying to keep the girls from getting on me about my limitations and really giving me whatever I ask for. He was gone for most of my first, in the trenches with his injuries with the second and thanks to those injuries he has no memory or their births or first years as babies so I’m glad to give him a third chance at it but I’m not very connected with this little party crasher. He is constantly telling me that I’m not a monster, I’m a good mother and when he gets here he knows it will all come together. I honestly couldn’t handle this pregnancy without his support at home and emotionally.
Also, he’s got a nice ass. Played hockey for years and that my friend is the gift that keeps giving.
Today just before lunch DH walked into my work and took me out to Chinese buffet. Came back with my car on E. He dropped me off, went to fill it with gas, then came back with a cappuccino! I think he's trying to get brownie points for something because this is super rare!
This weekend, I was changing into pj's and totally naked when DH came into the room. I was like "look how round I am" rubbing belling. And all he said was "I like it," kinda quiet and shy like.
I just thought "Aw he's so sweet."
Edit because I wanted to add that this really helped with the body image weirdness we've been discussing in the questions thread.
My SO offered to drive me to my appt on Monday. It's downtown, in a major city, during rush hour. I HATE driving in this city during rush hour, soooo I'm pretty happy.
My SO is driving me to the train station every morning and picks me up after work. It's a 10 min walk for me but the weather isn't the greatest lately so I'm very grateful for his taxi service
@kalawa that’s so awesome of him. Every time I go to Sinai I’m reminded of why I don’t want to have any more kids after this. For a regular appt that’s about 15-20 mins, on transit it is about a 5-6 hour round trip. I just can’t handle driving downtown it makes me crazy and parking downtown isn’t made for a large truck (and it drinks fuel like a pig driving downtown)
When my husband leaves for his 24-hour shifts, it's at 6 am, before the kids are up, so I do the whole shebang from wake up to bedtime solo. BUT, he softens the blow, because he always always brings me a cup of coffee and makes the bed before he leaves. He couldn't care less about the bed being made, but I do! It's so nice! He also puts away last night's dishes so I am always starting the day with a clean slate. It just makes such a difference. Such a sweetie.

@syssa-o Honestly, thinking about the drive and parking was giving me anxiety. I am usually fine to drive there, but with having no clue where it is, plus rush hour, plus anxiety about appt, eff that. And I was thinking the Go train, but there is no service from here to there all weekend and I don't want to chance it. @bettyvonsomethingstein When my SO leaves for his 24hr shifts...he wakes me up (5am) annnnnd takes all the coffee. Your SO needs to teach my SO what to do with the coffee...for reals.
@kalawa the saving grace is that’s your appt is one of the firsts(8:30 right?) all of my early appts are on time.... the 11:00 ones I isually get in like an hour late. It’ll be so much easier for you, having him there... good luck!

Honestly one of the best gifts ever! Hubby got to watch whatever he wanted on tv all weekend. Hehe.
I had no idea that I would fall in love with a watercooler. The things we learn....
