My OH surprised me!

[Someday Mommy]

We've been trying for almost a year now! He has the two kids from previous ex & sometimes I'm worried he's nowhere near committed as I am. When I talk sometimes about us ttc I don't always feel like he's really listening. When I started charting he seemed put off that I bought an $8 basal thermometer when we already had a regular one. When I started writing Dear Mr. Storky letters & started a journal about ttc he didn't say much.. When I completely changed my dietary lifestyle & started being more aware of my body, joined this website, & randomly through the day checking my CM he was supportive but still didn't say much. The other day we were laying in bed watching Marley & Me at the part where they get pregnant the second time & I look over & he lost it bawling & saying how it wasn't fair! I was amazed.. Apparently he's just been keeping it inside whereas I spew every little thing out at exactly the moment I think/feel it! lol

This morning I was amazed again!! I'm sensitive (CD3) today & got mad over something stupid so I shot at him "Pop quiz hot shot!! (Yes' "Speed" reference lol) Do you even know what cycle day I'm on?" It was completely something different then what I got mad at & he replied "Cycle day 2 or 3 I'm sorry the days have been going by so fast I'm not sure which one" I can't even describe how I felt at that moment overwhelmed & I now know he is right there with me. Silly of me to let all these doubts enter my mind & cloud what we're actually trying to achieve: A wonderful little representation of our love and commitment to each other & the start of our family.

Aww, what a sweetie. I think some men bottle up their emotions to try and remain positive and supportive for us, but sometimes they do surprise us

 

[wannabemummyb]

Baby dust to all

That's really sweet. I loved when said 2 or 3 but he couldn't remember which cause the days were going by so fast! Too cute

My DH bottles everything up too, but he's like that in every aspect of life, not just TTC.
I think a lot of men are still under the impression that they have to be the strong ones and showing their feelings is a sign of weakness. Strange creatures they are! Hehe xx

Exactly!!! Mine bottles everything up too. I have to keep telling him I feel like he's "putting up the wall again!" It's hard to remember that sometimes but it is so true!

That is so sweet. My df can be that way too. Hes a little more sensitive than a lot of men. Like when this baby making stresses me out he always talks about how he can't wait to be a daddy and how much he wants to show the world our love through using our love to create life. And after my mc I was rubbing my tummy and he ask why did keep doing that and I said cus its empty and he started bowling. Every since then he'll rub it and say I promise to fill this. Or if we see a preggo woman he'll touch my tummy and say I can't wait till that's you. I love him. He is my rock. Babydust to all.

Oh CRAP!!!! I'm so sorry to hear about your mc but I'm glad you have someone by your side and don't have to go through it alone. I honestly teared at your response. My oh does that too with the belly rubbing!! Sometimes... (I feel kinda dumb for saying this but hey...) I've never had a mc or even a hint that I might be pregnant but I sit and rub my belly some mornings after I've taken my temp and try to "positively picture" the baby being there! Or I'll just randomly do it throughout the day and my oh says the same thing about promising to fill it!

I find myself rubbing my tummy everytime i think about what we are doing. Im glad i have a great partner. My mom has no idea we are trying (she would not approve) and since she cant know pretty much no one can. A couple friends know but thats it. So we are kinda doing this alone for now. Im so glad i can talk to you ladies. Im trying to keep df stress free so its hard to talk to him sometimes. He knows when im really stressed anyway and trys to get me to talk but i know when im just stressing myself out. Its true tho, the ones we love will surprise us sometimes.

AWWW! that is so sweet! my Hubby is the same way. his best friends wife just found out they are prego with their 2nd and hubby called me that morning 8:30 to tell me and i could just hear the 'why isnt it us' in his voice...before then he had not really said anything....

Yep, I got one of them, bless him, he's a love and I know he's as desperate as I am. Sending and
