I know a lot of the SO's of the boards have been having a bad weekend, so I thought I'd see if there's anything good going on this weekend.
DH took LO after church and went to see his family/friends. This gave me 8 hours to myself.

Nice!
DH got home at 1am from work this morning and DD woke up at the same time so he went into her room to rock her back to sleep even through he had to wake up at 5 to go to work again.
-
He has busted his tail to make sure breastfeeding is successful for me and our baby. He's read books, researched lactation consultants, and has basically catered to everything I need while I nurse. I would've been so tempted to quit without his support! LO is three weeks old and I think we're getting the hang of it
-
@grizz: awww! It's so much easier when your SO is supportive.
I'm sure he did something nice. I'm having trouble remembering what happened this weekend. -
DH took me to the movies yesterday.
-
DH handled LO when she was screaming at dinner out with my mom and my grandmother. I was so grateful! Otherwise, DH cooks for me and does the dishes, which takes so much stress off of me each day.
@katsupgirl: aw, I hope that means it was a generally relaxing weekend!
-
He let me sleep in and also take a 2 hour nap today. He's also an awesome dad in general and really takes his role seriously. I truly fee like I have a 50/50 partner in my DH.
-
@grizz: Yay! So glad to hear things are getting better
2-3 weeks was when things got better for me too.I always feel like my SO gives me the weekend "off." He does most diaper changes and puts LO down, and I mostly just feed her & try to catch up on things around the house.

Mr. T is a great husband and great dad. He always helps whenever I want or need it, and he helps tons around the house (he does pretty much all of the dishes, sweeps... whatever needs doing) so that I can focus more on the kids, which I prefer anyway. He took Lorelei on her first bobcat and tractor ride and they got to clean up branches in the yard from a recent storm. Then today he took Ellie out scouting with him looking at our drainage tile to make sure the fields are draining. She had so much fun spending time with him! Then tonight he and Ellie and I got to play dominos together. I really couldn't ask for a better partner!
It's nice to hear about all the other wonderful partners here, too!
-
Love it
Lately I've really been appreciating how special my DH makes me feel. He tells me I'm beautiful and truly enjoys spending time just being us. I'd have a hard time without that aspect of his personality right now since I feel like a blah pregnant blob lol.
-
We spent the weekend with my mom and her sisters and lots of cousins, etc. my husband is always so wonderful with my extended family. He genuinely enjoys spending time with them and they love him so much. It makes me so happy that he fits into our family so well!! And everyone was talking about what an amazing, involved dad he is and it's so nice to see him be recognized for kicking ass at husbanding/fathering!
-
@MrsScallop: it just goes by so fast! It wasn't stressful though. Thank goodness!
-
He usually apologizes first. I admire that about him.
-
E and I have had a really rough week, and DH has been working overtime so he hasn't really been around to help at all. We were down at my BIL's this weekend and he arranged for my SIL to take me out for a girl's afternoon today. Pedicure, a bit of shopping, good beer/chips and queso.
-
Hmpf, do I have to say something nice about him? I'm mad at him right now. He did let me sleep in this morning, so that was nice.
-
@FutureMrsMcK: Ahh, that's lovely. I'm so glad you're getting some relaxation time, it sounds like you need it and you certainly deserve it.
DH has been awesome this weekend. He built my flatpack baby wardrobe on Friday evening, painted the fire surround on Saturday then came to Ikea with me on Sunday! Then Sunday afternoon, he fitted our new drawers into our wardrobe system and framed some pictures for the nursery before taking his yukky medication and going to bed for the rest of the day. I'm so grateful!
-
Even though he worked 2 straight days he gave me a back rub last night. I hadn't had one for months and it was so appreciated.
-
He cooked dinner all weekend. He did get up once Sat night, when R wouldn't go to sleep I finally got up and nursed her. I went back to bed and he was waiting up for me. Said he just wanted to make sure I didn't need anything.
-
DH wasn't mad when I woke him up at 2:30AM and dragged him out of our tent to drive down the mountain for stomach meds. Nice guy!
-
On our drive home from work on Sunday, the hubby mentioned how a lot of nurses advocate for the epidural. He thinks I'm a pretty tough gal and can do without it even though I've already mentioned to the OB up front I'm all for the epidural (I'm deathly afraid of feeling the pain from tearing, etc.). So I was happy that the hubby thought I am THAT strong of a woman. He's not against the epidural, but just mentioned that I should try and go au naturale as long as possible.
-
Hubs watched Xander Saturday into Sunday while I went to a bachelorette party! He did a great job too!
-
He took care of me yesterday after I spent the early morning hours throwing up. Then he picked up the groceries, grilled dinner, walked the dog and spent an hour cleaning up the kitchen before bed. I seriously do not deserve him sometimes!
-
He got up with our son this morning so I got to sleep until 10:30. He then took LO with him for the weekly grocery shopping trip (which I am usually in charge of) and is keeping him this afternoon while I go visit a friend and her newborn baby! It's a daddy/son day.
