Sweet things our OHs do for us...

[NavyWife84]

Well, I am in a really good mood because it is my 3 year anniversary with my DH and just so blessed to have him. We are on a really tight budget so we decided not to exchange gifts and were debating on if we were going to go out to dinner tonight. To my surprise, I came home from work to a candlelit dinner. DH made chicken cordon bleu, scalloped potatoes, and a vegetable medley. To top it off, he made homemade brownies (my favorite)!


While this ltttc journey is the hardest thing I have ever had to face and I often take things out on my DH, he is always right there by my side. So, I would like to open this up for us to share the sweet things our OHs do for us to help us through this!

Aww so sweet.

My husband recently brought me home roses as showing his appreciation for the things I have recently done for him.

Aw, this is such a nice idea!! Lately my OH has been away, but before that I was working really hard and he made me two lots of salads to take to work with me each day so I wouldn't have to buy rubbish meals. x

When my OH is in the romantic mood, he fills the house with candles and it looks so pretty. He will suprise me every now and then with flowers or my fav food. He really is a fantastic man and Im so happy that I have him. He is always there to give me a cuddle when I feel sad about the baby situation, despite how he is feeling. He works really hard to provide for the family as well.

Lovely thread.

The best thing my hubby does for me is not show me how disappointed he is that we aren't pregnant yet and he never gets upset about it in front of me because he knows that it will make me feel even worse (he is super fertile and I am completely not fertile).

Some times it bothers me that he doesn't share his feelings with me all the time but ultimately I am grateful and thankful that he loves me enough to put me first and try to make this as easy a journey for me as he can. In return, I try not to be too depressed around him.

If he was to get as down about it as I do I am sure I would have left him by this time. Only because I love him so much and I know he wants a family, I would prefer him to have a family with someone else than not have one at all. He would never let me do this, however, he says it's me he wants first, family second.

I can't ask for a better man that that.

That is lovely, he really does love you and that is so sweet, you mustn't feel bad you are both in this together. Really nice that you have a supportive man. x

Ah what a lovely tribute to our OH's.

My hubby puts an arm round me when i'm upset, a hug when i'm having a bad day and always encourages me that we WILL have a baby. He never moans about the situation or blames me for any part of it

I was quite touched when he brought my b6 vitamin upstairs the other night after i forgot to take it! I must be emotional!!

With the support of our OH's we CAN do this ladies xx

We have some good ones don't we?!
This month i was very sad and hub helped with the house cleaning, insisted that we go out for icecream and chocolate and gave me lots of hugs. We relaxed watching movies and stuff and he just really listened and made me feel so much better. This is a great thread as he/they deserve so much credit when we are going through our own personal hell.

When I was stimming and we had some not great news at one of our scans I was so upset. DH popped out to the shops for some bits and pieces and came back with a huge bunch of stargazer lilies which are my favourite flowers

He works away from home at the moment and he called me at work this morning just to tell me he misses me and is looking forward to seeing me next weekend for our anniversary. It's just a small thing but it was lovely.

 

[NavyWife84]

Awww...I love hearing about these wonderful men of ours! Keep 'em coming, girls!

Going to cry now , but in a good way. Today I was super nervous as we had a visit to our Fertility clinic and I was super nervous, and OH could tell as I was so quite on the drive there and I was just not myself, so every chance he got while we was there he would hold my hand or just touch my shoulder or stroke my arm just to let me know he was right there with me through it all and he really made me feel at ease. He also made me laugh when I looked like I was just going to burst, it was quite an emotional day, kind of felt like we had admitted defeat and he really helped me through it. I have asked him many times today how he is and he has said Im not worried about me my main concern is you. I love him so much and cant wait to tell him that im carry his baby he so deserves it.

 

[NavyWife84]

Awww, Apple, how sweet! I was the same way on the way to my US. I broke down and started crying because I felt like a failure. I never thought that I would struggle to have a baby and our trip to the US was my "defeat moment". DH just held my hand and told me that he married me to be with me and that anything else that comes with it is just an added bonus. He always lets me know that he is perfectly happy with what we have now and that we will have a baby one day, even if it is through adoption. He reassures me that he isn't upset or disappointed with me and that no matter how we get our baby I am going to be a wonderful mom! I love my DH so much!!!

awww, your stories are really heartwarming, girls. We are really lucky to have loving and sweet OH, aren't we?

My husband is a darling and he's been so loving, sweet and supportive since we've been together. During a time when I was jobless and had a hard time looking for a job, he would even cook me breakfast and make me coffee before he leaves for work. Then recently, while he was on a business trip in China, I received a bouquet of flowers at work. There was no occasion at all so I was wondering why. On the card he said he just misses me and he said the flower's design (in a dimsum dish) reminded him of my favorite dish.

I thank God for my husband everyday and I remind myself from time to time to not take him for granted because sometimes I just can't help venting out my frustrations and I take it on him even if it's not his fault. He's been so patient and understanding with me.

He would really be a great father so I really hope we'd have children soon.

Cheers to your 3rd anniversary, Navywife and hubby! And cheers to our OH

I love this thread!

My dh is one who never thinks of anything extravagant but always does little things to make me smile. He has my coffee in my Togo cup every morning, makes my lunch with little I love you notes. And a few nights ago when I had to stay at the library late to study he recorded a message from our baby boy and sent it to me. It said "goodnight mommy. We love you so much". And then I cried in the library like a baby! If god only blesses us with one child I must admit I couldn't ask for more. I have a man who loves me for me and a baby boy named Carson that is a gift from God!

Last night after a bad day.. I came home to bath
and body works stress relief and sleep massage oil as well as a stress relieving bath oil. And on top of that he got me the book PCOS and your fertility and a journal I can
start writing in..
It was so sweet and unexpected!
