I was having a day of being worried about the baby and everything that could possibly go wrong and my DH asked me to stop at his work real quick on my way home. When I got there he told me he just wanted to give me a hug and tell me everything was going to be alright. I don’t know what I would do without him!

As I’m sure anyone who has read anything I’ve posted has noticed I am soooo sick. I also work 50 hours a week as I’m management. So between that and the first trimester “amazingness” I have been dead. He is picking up all the slack around the house and manning both kids. He cooks dinner every night and lets me go to bed at 6pm, hell even offer a back or foot rub before I go. I feel so terrible because I know how I’ve been slacking around the house but he tells me to not even worry about it. I seriously wouid be dead in a messy house if it wasn’t for him! Our boys and I are beyond lucky to have him!!

@kieraann33 That is so sweet!

I'm sorry that your nerves have been acting up. I hope you will feel more confident in the near future.

AFM--MH let me go up to bed last night at 7 because I was exhausted and falling asleep on the couch. He fed DD dinner and took care of her until I got out of bed at 9. I guess it doesn't sound like much, but it means a lot to me that he knows I need rest and lets me get all the rest I need, even if it means he has to do more work around the house.
ETA: And right now he's outside planting flowers with DD while I play on the computer.

Mine is a saint when it comes to putting up with everything this first trimester has had to offer... mood swings, exhaustion, hellacious heartburn, late night cravings... he's so sweet and has been taking care of the house, cooking (which i dont mind at all because he is an amazing cook!

and accomodating things i have not been able to eat. So grateful for him.

My DH fixed our roof/fascia yesterday all day then came inside and cooked an awesome dinner. I get evening sickness so I felt terrible.

Well, today was supposed to be a fun-filled day at the Ft. Worth Zoo and then the Stockyards with the family, but I have to do a 24 hour urine catch... so I'm stuck at home. I told DH to go ahead with FIL, uncle, and DS and stick with the plan since it's the last weekend day FIL will be in town. DH got up early, went to the store, and then cooked a special breakfast, all while instructing FIL to keep DS quiet so I could sleep in. They are now gone and I'm actually enjoying the quiet time

Friday I was deader than usual due to 4 hours of sleep (seeing Avengers was worth it) and I had a bad reaction to the popcorn. He had the day off and entertained DS while I worked, and let me take a 2 hour nap after work while still entertaining DS. He's been so supportive and understanding when I can't cook or do the dishes because I'm just too wiped to do it. He's also been wonderful with working his magic on the budget to make sure there's money for the days I just can't cook and those extra groceries.

I could write for hours about how amazing DH is on a daily basis but when I'm pregnant it's a whole 'nother level. I've made maybe 3 meals in the last month and a half. I can hardly go in the kitchen for water without wanting to vomit so he's been making all of our meals without complaint. He springs for whatever foods I'm craving, even if we've already eaten out that week. He hasn't said a single word about the housework falling behind and he pitches in when he can. He's amazing and patient with DD, especially on days when I'm laid up sick in bed and he's doing basically everything himself. All of these things are the least our men can do considering what we're doing for our families, but the fact that he's actually happy to do any of it and doesn't complain really means the world to me.

He got up with DD this morning so I could sleep in!

kamahina9 · April 2018

When I first found out about the gestational diabetes and couldn't figure out my meals I was frustrated, hungry and the morning sickness was killing me. He stayed up that night and researched foods then meal prepped for me so I wouldn't have to worry about it. We work opposite shifts so he left me the sweetest note that explained how many carbs we're in each meal. He is such a lifesaver!

pitbullmama71 · April 2018

I made an involved dinner last night and as soon as we were done eating I wasn't feeling well. So while I laid on the couch my DH cleaned up the entire kitchen (he even missed the final period of a Stanley Cup playoff game while cleaning!).

Friday night I was craving ice cream but all we had was vanilla. I said I didn't want vanilla so DH went and scooped me some, and then crushed up oreos in it so it was like a cookies and cream. It was SO GOOD and hit the spot.

I love all of these! DH has been so wonderful during the pregnancy (well, really all the time). When I'm dragging in the morning because I'm so. freaking. tired. He'll get my lunch bag packed with all the things he knows I put in it every time, along with letting the dogs out, packing his own lunch, and letting me sleep a few extra minutes.

Plus, we were out of town this weekend and we had to do laundry last night when we got home. Between grocery shopping and dinner (which we both participated in), I successfully got my laundry into the wash AND switched over to the dryer before I ran out of steam for the night. He says, "You go to bed. I'll fold your laundry." Plus, he cleaned up dinner.

So nice to see everyone gushing about their SOs. Sounds like we are all incredibly lucky!

I have always been thankful for my husband!But he has become a super husband since we got pregnant. I can't even begin to list of things he does for me and our house and our dogs. He has completely been okay with picking up the slack and still sweet, sensitive and fair with me. Him being so wonderful encourages me to pull myself from bed and help him out. I couldn't have asked for a better partner. He's seriously the best!

He's cooked dinner every night for 3 weeks because I've been too sick!

eahayes · May 2018

Mine is awesome because he is putting up with my crazy mood swings. Seriously will go from happy and calm, to angry and crying in a matter of moments. He is so patient with me, and so loving. Very appreciative (even if I don't tell him enough over the past few weeks)-- I swear this first tri makes me like myself less and love him more!
