Did you do anything special for DH when you gave birth?
I was thinking that birth is so focused on the mom and the baby, but this is a huge, life-changing experience for DH, as well! Did any of you do anything special for your DH? I was thinking of something simple like writing him a long letter or something, but wondered if anyone had something cute/creative...TIA!

Re: Did you do anything special for DH when you gave birth?
I didn't kill him while I was in labor. Dropped a few f-bombs but was totally noviolent.
I think your note is very sweet. He'll just be happy when you won't be in pain anymore.

A heartfelt letter or card would be great...it's such an emtional time. I asked friends to bring some of his favorite beer to the hospital so he could celebrate his daddy moment. Could you sneak a growler or 6-pack with you or have a friend drop one off after the birth?
Are you united with the CCOKCs?
Ha! I think he's already planning to bring his own! (and I'm planning to drink some of it, too! I miss beer!)
I found this and thought it was adorable, and it will make him know that you have been and are thinking of him. Plus he will probably need it all, the day of

After I spat at my computer LOL'ing at your post I realized that you are super sweet and a really thoughtful wife.
I'm in the "I had my guts splayed open and my uterus yanked outside of my body to give birth to your child, ain't that enough?" camp.
But I do remember the days when I would have thought along the lines that you are! I hope you never loose that desire to do special things for him regardless of how crazy life is for you 2 after kids.
Total score: 6 pregnancies, 5 losses, 2 amazing blessings that I'm thankful for every single day.
I didn't write this post to be funny, I was being sincere!
I hope that you're right that we never lose the feelings we have for each other post-kids!
Nope.
He got a kid out of the deal.
