He has been absolutely fantastic this whole pregnancy but it has mainly been these past 2 weeks that I have really learnt to appreciate him! I live with my parents and my mam employs a cleaner so you could say I'm not very domesticated. I've made the cot up and done all my daughters things but generally day to day things are either done by my mam or Margaret (the cleaner). My mam and dad have been on holiday these past 2 weeks and so my OH has stayed at mine with me. He usually stays mon-fri anyways and we then spend fri-mon at his so we spend equal time with both families. Margaret still comes in but for some reason does less when my parents aren't her (like she will wash/hoover the floors every day when mam is here but hasn't these past 2 weeks - I think it's been done 3 times) so I've tried my best to keep on top of things as we have a dog and he molts quite a lot but as I'm not used to it I struggle.

Add that to SPD, thrush, high blood pressure and a fast heart rate I really have struggled but he's been fab! He gets up earlier every morning to walk my dog for me and walks him when he comes home from work again. I've tried to cook for him but I can't cook (it is not a case of won't cook I seem to be totally unable to cook!) and he's appreciated every meal. He has put the washing in to and out of the dryer because it's in the garage and I struggle to get my bump down the side of my mams car and the wall. He has cuddled me and told me how gorgeous he thinks I am and when I say I feel fat he tells me "you're not fat hun, you're carrying my baby and I think you look really sexy" and when I've felt ugly and wonder how he can love me or want me ever again with all the crap things I've had (thrush, hemorrhoids etc) he tells me "your easy to love and always will be to me"

I just love him so much! I can't imagine not having him by my side this pregnancy and he tells me how well I'm doing etc and there isn't another man on this planet that I would have wanted to go through pregnancy with! I am not expecting responses just wanted to get out my feelings! I see so many upsetting threads but I also see some really positive OH threads and think they deserve some credit so women can see there are REAL men out there who love and respect us even if they don't understand what we're really going through

:flower:
 
Awww that is really lovely!! I'm so pleased that he is looking after you so well :) Every pregnant lady deserves to be properly looked after and I remember you talking about your blood pressure problems so you need a little more looking after.

I'm unsure why your cleaner does less when your parents are away, surely she is still being paid the same amount so should be doing the same job. Its strange. You should not be hoovering when you have SPD, its about the worst thing you could be doing right now!! But hey, you could do a bit more practising with the old cooking, have a look online for some nice easy recipes and see how you get on :flower: anyone can cook honestly :)
 
Ah I know, I've let my mam know and she just tells me to do what I can and as long as the house is tidy (i.e. free from clutter/dishes) when she gets in then I've done a good job! Bless her she never expects miracles! She's really odd - like she won't lift ornaments when cleaning...she dusts around them, never touches the bathroom and only does things outside of hoovering/ironing if my mam writes her a list. She's supposed to do 2hours Monday and Friday and 1 hour Wednesday and Thursday - we're lucky if she's here 30minutes some days! But she's a family friend now and lets the dog out etc when we're all at work so mam just accepts it but when she's not here she does even less :growlmad:

I'm going to pursue with the cooking...I made him a stir fry the other night which was lovely! So I can do some things it's simple things I seem to fail at - I most certainly can't boil an egg! But I'm going to have to learn for when we do move out lol luckily he's a good cook and I think generally it'll be his territory and I'll do everything else from cleaning - ironing so maybe we'll get a good team going on lol!

Wee tip - don't grate the onion like it says in the recipe, it is hellish on your eyes, just chop it really small if you can.

If you want any recipes to try let me know, I've a huge file of yummy meals which aren't rocket science!!

Oh and I know what you mean about some simple things not working out, My DH is soooo much better at frying a steak than me but he couldn't begin to make half the other things I make!!
 
Thanks hun I'll deff give them a go and let you know how I get on :flower:
 
Lalita - I must admit though for tea tonight he got Char-grilled Chickens, Wedges and Beans! While I'm having Mini Kievs, Vegetable Grills and Rosties - ANY chef eat your heart out! :haha:

sounds good to me!! I'm a bit unwell so I barely ate today and DH fended for himself which meant he ate all the leftovers which were in the fridge!! DD got a fairly wacky meal as well lmao!
 
Awww. That's SO sweet. Love reading posts like this. I have a wonderful DH who I could not live without. He is cuddly, caring, giving, and just does so much for me. Happy you've a great guy too!
 
Lalita - I hope you feel better soon hun! :hugs:

Jellybean - I'm glad you also have a wonderful OH we all deserve one and I just wish all women could have be treat this way ESPECIALLY at such a hard yet rewarding time! Don't get me wrong - my OH understands very little of the actual pains we suffer etc but he even said to me the other day "baby, if I could take it all away and carry her for you I would. Unfortunately I'm just the provider" bless him!

:flower:
 
I wish I could say the same :( I'm a little envious to say the least. But its good to know there are good men out there, gives me hope!! :) x
 
Aw Emma we all deserve one hun. He's not without faults but neither am I but I found that being honest with how I felt from the start has made him realise I won't be walked over. I hope your other half starts showing you the love you deserve

:hugs: big hugs your way hun xxx
