This is very sweet!

Surprised me with a garden trug on Easter. Always says "hey pretty lady" when we get dressed up to go somewhere (weddings, dates).

Finished painting the bedroom! It looks amazing.

He always thanks me for every promotion, raise, or bonus saying it’s because of me he’s able to do what he does. But my all time favorite thing he did was after our first DD was born. I was nursing and waking up what felt like every 30 minutes. He said if I had to get up so would he. And he did. Every wake up he was there. Usually standing behind me as I nursed giving me a shoulder rub. Sometimes falling asleep next to me. When my next DD came it was divide and conquer but I never forgot that support. Especially being a SAH parent most would assume waking up with a nursing baby was all me, it wasn’t.

I love that you loved that. I would have hated it.

OMG I thought the same thing. As much as I seethed sometimes when I would be up nursing our DD for the 10000th time that night and he would be snoring away on the other side of the room, if he was up sitting next to me quietly or rubbing my shoulders, I would've hated that.

My DH wakes up every morning and makes me coffee. I am a coffee addict. It's the little things.

He surprised me by hiring biweekly cleaners. Of all the romantic things he's done, this may be the top of the list.

I was doing the same
Thing to my wife while having an affair with the neighbor

I always know something is up when DH does things like this for me. Usually it's to "ask" me if he can buy something expensive that we don't need or plan a lunch with his mom & sister who are insufferable.

Gave me the D.

He calls me every day on the way home to see if he can pick anything up.
He brought me coffee in bed on Wednesday.
He cleaned the snow off my car this week.

I want warm fuzzies.
