I'm only 8 weeks pregnant. I'm so tired and sick a lot. The house is messier than usual. I'm not working at the moment. I spend most of my time on here when BF isn't not home because it doesn't require any energy.
My boyfriend is so supportive of my new-found unproductivity (he's has a 6 y/o son so he's been through it before). I felt like crap this morning, and layed in bed for 3 hours after I woke up. He told me to take it easy today, "if you do too much it'll only make it worse." He'll do laundry and dishes behind my back. It makes me feel so guilty, but I so much appreciate it.
I don't believe any of my ex's would have treated me this good. I want to show him how much I appreciate him for his support.
We're kind of poor right now, so I can't go out and buy him anything. He'd appreciate something more creative much more anyways. I've tried to find some online printable greeting cards that I can personalize, but no luck.
Any suggestions?

Guys don't need eloborate. Just express yourself and say thank you. He'll appreciate your appreciation of him.

Well, I have been there and back again. All you can do is try to explain that your current personality really isn't your true personality. With my daughter I raged at the world to the point that I made a cashier in a grocery store cry and I thought that I was justified in doing so. With my son I cried until he was 4 months old. It all goes back to normal once your baby is born and your hormones settle down and you get some sleep. Good luck, a lot of us have felt the same way and don't diminish what your mind and body are being put through right now and if it means complaining and or crying go ahead, you can't control it any way. Good luck with your new family addition. The key is that he has been there before and understands what can happen. The best gift I ever received in my life was a letter telling me how much I was appreciated and wanted in someone elses life.

Tell him he's your hero. My husband can be like that too. I'll tell him how much I appreciate what he does for me and the kids and how awesome he is. I mean it.
He loves it. I can physically see his chest puff up and he stands taller. He likes to be the hero and save the day.
Congrats on the baby. With my first baby I was sick until I was 8 months pregnant, had carpal tunnel up to both elbows, and got horrible ingrown toenails (they had to cut half my toe nail off!). Needless to say....I had crabby moments.
Congratulations and Good luck!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

First, don't allow yourself to dwell on the fact that your pg. I understand being ill and all. Set daily goals,I'll do this today etc. Make his favorite dinner, have a hot bath waiting for him. When you make his lunch put a sweet note on a napkin thanking him. Make sure you take care of him too....

how about you get your friends or family round to give you a hand in cooking him a nice meal. he sounds like a star! its completely normal to feel wiped out in the early months of pregnancy and it will return in the later months, enjoy him doting on you. my man didnt and i worked full time as well and he used to moan that i went to bed early so i stayed up on occasion, but then he'd moan cos i fell asleep on the sofa! lol COS I'M TIRED! lol your man sounds wonderful and i wish you all the best.

Words speak more than gifts. Tell him how much you appreciate him and all he does. Tell him what a wonderful dad he will be and how lucky you are to be having his baby. Snuggle up at nights and make baby plans, dream up names, etc.

right before you puke your brains out or while he's holding your hair back say babe, I Love you so much. No just playing but I'd say write him a long note declaring exactly how much he means to you. guys like sappy stuff.

you're pregnant and tired.
one night when he's not up to much ask him to come and talk to you.
move the talking into kissing.
the kissing into love making.
what more could he want?
