On a lighter note........

[layneeleigh]

I have seen so many threads in the last week or so about OH rants!

Well hope I don't get flamed but I am going to take the time to praise mine!
Poor fella I know he has to be exhausted just as much as I am. Everytime I get out of the bed at night he jumps up like the house is on fire aand says "everything okay?, is it time?".
As soon as we get up in the morning how are you feeling is anything happening? Do you want me to fix breakfast? Is she moving like she is suppose to?
We also own our own logistics business so sometimes he is in and out and gone for a few days at a time. So he has family and some of his friends calling and stopping by on a regular basis to reassure me if I need something to please call!

Rubs my feet brushes my hair and overall has been a gem of a man throughout my pregnancy which totally shocked me becasue he just isn't a mushy overly affectionate person but boy has he come leaps and bounds in 9 months!

I looooove my hubby so much and I am thankful everyday that I found such a wonderful man! We have been together over 10 years but it certainly doesn't feel that long!

Good post, cheers to all the good men out there!!!

Your man sounds like a gem, a real keeper!

My DH has been wonderful throughout my pregnancy. He recently started a second job so that we can save extra money so that I can stay at home with bubba for as long as I want after the birth and not feel like I have to go back to work coz we need the money. So he is working 50-60 hour weeks and still manages to come home, help around the house and give me back runs and brush my hair. He is so excited to be having a son, he talks to him constantly and rubs and kisses my belly.

I feel so blessed to have my man and soon to have my little man!!

Excellent thread

Yup, I have to admit mines awesome too, he's working so hard to make sure I can be a SAHM, extra hours etc, he hasn't pressured me to work longer or more than I'm comfy with and is so supportive of me starting mat leave this week.
I only have to say the word and he'll do anything I need around the house, or garden. He spoils me rotten, even tho we are trying to save money I still get hot chocs, muffins and the occasional Subway and never complains about me putting the water heater on for my extra hot baths
He organizes supper on the nights im to tired and downloads me films and tv shows to keep me amused (NZ telly = crap! )

He's so excited about Boo and being a dad and is fab with my m/w and in antenatal classes.

Ok, currently hes killing things on COD- Black Ops, which I could do without, but if i'm honest he bloody deserves it!

Oh and he even offers to come and help with the horse and fields as I'm getting rather waddley now!

yay! nice thread, can i praise mine?

Yesterday Ross took me and kian out to do some xmas shopping, he brought us a yummy hot chocolate and some food, then he spent LOTS of money on kian for xmas presents, then he went to the shop and came out with a big soft "My first car" in pink for sian even though she cant use it for awhile, he said he wanted her to have something to open xmas day (she will be about 10 days old)

He then orderd us a take away for tea...then he gave me a full back massge and foot massage because my spd was playing up

He woke in the night and gave me a cuddle, and told me he had a nightmare, he dreamt i had left him because i was bored...how can i ever get bored, we been together since we were 16 (11 years) i love him with all my heart

Awe bless him he sounds lovely. My hubby was great yesterday he let me have a lie in, got up at 7.30am with ds suggested an afternoon nap and made me a lovely tea x

 

[Tink2312]

awww he sounds lushously sweet! lucky you!
I've been fortunate with my OH as well who's been incredibly impatient with my hormones, issues, nagging, nesting and general craziness, lacking on the rubs though lol

[Phinners]

I shall praise mine too, I am one of these lucky women to have bagged a '1 in a million' type of bloke. I adore my fella, and I know he adores us too.

I'll join this one - it's so good to be positive and say nice things.

My DH has been extremly patient with me and I know how hard that must have been. Firstly conceveing turned me into a baby wanting nutter doing everything I could to get pregnant and crying every month it didn't happen.

We've had some hairy moments during this pregnancy inc bleeds and a suspected extopic and he has been nothing but reassuring and positive towards me and has taken time off work to sit with me in hospital or at home while I've been in bits without moaning once. He's even been to church with me although he doesn't normally come just to hold my hand because he knows that my faith helps me.

He gives me wonderful back massages and foot rubs whenever I want or offers if I'm uncomfortable. He's bought me things to help out such as my Dream Geni pillow.

The biggest thing he has done is sell his beloved motorbike, without me even mentioning anything to help out with costs and to cover us when at one point it looked like I was going to be on long term sick without any pay. I know what a big thing that was for him as he's obsessed with bikes and spent 6 months customising his bike then sold it just a month after he had finished. I even cried when he told me and asked him not to.

He will sometimes just give me a cuddle and say 'thank you for looking after our baby'. I know he won't see this but I love him heaps and want to add this to the positive DH thread to show that men are stars too x

Aww mine said to me last night, hes been really stressed out lately. I asked him why and he responded by saying. " Whenever I see you in pain it breaks my heart as I know there's nothing I can do to help you, however what I can say is I truly am grateful you will put yourself through all this pain to carry my child". Aww this I thought was sooo sweet. He never comes out with things like this normally xxx Love you baby xxx

Nice posts ladies!!!!

 

[Reds05]

I would like to join this thread and give praise to my wonderful DH!!

Here are just a few things he's done :

-Giving me a lie in every weekend and dealing with DS including taking him out during the day to give me some peace and quiet

- Making me pretty much anything I feel like eating even if he has to go to the shops to get the stuff to make it

- Not complaining once when I've kept him awake at night snoring

- Giving me back rubs to make sure I can sleep more comfortable

All hail to my DH - couldn't imagine being without him the last 16 years never mind the last few months.

Aw yey - I like positive threads!
My husband is amazing. He works really hard and still has time to help out around the house. He brings me breakfast/hot drinks in bed before he leaves for work in the morning. And will even come in from work and start the dinner even though I've been home all day! Plus he gives me back and foot rubs every day. He is generally wonderful.
I've been trying to still do little things to show him how grateful I am, like baking him banana bread or his favourite plum pie!
I know he's going to be a wonderful Daddy.. he is so excited about the baby!

Mine has been wonderful, especially the last couple of months. When I was in the hospital for 3 weeks he came in almost every day to spend hours with me, even coming in really early in the morning sometimes to be there for the doctors' rounds when I needed him.
He massages my legs lots without me even asking and tries to do as much of the housework as he can.
He comes to all my appointments and takes notes cos he knows I'll forget what the midwife/doctor says 10 minutes later!

And best of all, when I was at my worst moment he got down on one knee and asked me to marry him
