Now, having my newborn with my husband, he has given me a new experience to motherhood where I’m actually able to enjoy it.
It’s so foreign to me that I sometimes don’t know what to do with my extra time when he takes baby off on his own so I can have ME time. I’m so grateful for how involved he has been with baby and with giving a helping hand in the house work. Yes, this IS something that all partners should do, but don’t always (keeping in mind, my EX didn’t).
Hubby will push for baby to have a bottle so he can feed him; giving me time to pump, eat, shower, whatever.
Well I guess I do have a question after all,…
How do I show him just how grateful I am? He has been so supportive, caring, and loving to me onto of being a wonderful father. It baffles me to see him jump to change a diaper or eager to bathe baby.
Truly couldn’t ask for a better partner. Now how do I show him just how much he is appreciated?
You can show him in anyway you think is best… gifts, words, a vacation, etc. Buy him something you know he’s been wanting, write him letters that he can open during certain times in his life (happy, sad, excited) or just a letter telling how you feel with everything. Pinterest also has a lot of great ideas that you could look through
Just walking up to him and put your arms around him and saying thank you for helping me, it’s he’s baby too
I get it, I went thru the bd version with my ex.
How to show you appreciate him is dependent on what matters to him. Everyone has different love languages, find out what his is, there’s a free online test do a Google search for 5 love language online test, and figure out what his love language is, then do something based on that.
Verbalizing your appreciation is always a good start though
Tell him!! Tell him all the time! Tell him in a text when he’s at work,tell him with a kiss when he’s sitting with the baby,tell him with a hug,tell him that you appreciate him,tell him that you love him … That’s all… just make sure he knows… I’m in the exact same situation… my ex was awful… I made every bottle, changed every diaper, have every bath alone, dressed then, feed them, everything 100% on my own… Never helped with the house or anything at all! My current husband… The past 4 yes had been amazing, he does everything and anything he can to help and never says a word about it… Never says we’ll i work or blah blah blah… He’s the greatest… And I tell him everyday, in any way I can think of, I buy him random little crap at the store, candy he likes or even a keychain or some little thing I think he’d like, I text him at work and let him know that I appreciate how hard he works for our family,I kiss him when he’s just sitting there doing nothing, I hug him when he’s at the stove, I tell him how handsome he looks when he’s dadding!!! All of it!!!
Well what’s his love language? Show him appreciation in his love language 
.
Awesome . I had the same experience 
.tell him how wonderful he makes you feel Make a good meal for him, show love ( dressed up LOL) he sounds like a great person
I bet you girls have good mother-in-laws!
Hes being a dad. Honestly he shouldnt be praised for doing what hes supposed to do. Id say I appreciate your help but thats probably it. We dont get praised for doing what moms are supposed to do so why should dads?
Tell him! Cook him a nice dinner and let him clap those cheeks! Chore play is the best foreplay
Tell him that you are grateful to him for being such an amazing father. Thank him for making the load lighter on you and for being a great significant other. Cook him his favorite meal, have some extra sexy time, get a babysitter and have a date night, etc. However, you don’t have to go all crazy to show your appreciation! Simply being told “I notice all the amazing things you do around here to help and I appreciate you” can go a long way!
Verbally!!! Men need to HEAR it. Also, extra snuggles and maybe make his favorite meals more if you’re having more time. Men love verbal affirmation and the other will speak to him as well. Congrats on having a wonderful husband
Just tell him all this, and say thank you. He’s a good one.
I like to tell mine how thankful I am by buying something once and while something I know he’s been wanting
Does he have a brother 
asking for a friend
Blowjobs work:joy:
…. Kidding. Sort of lmao … I would just tell him and show him every chance you can that you’re thankful for the man he is. You’re very lucky
I’m in the same spot!! In my first relationship with a receptive boyfriend that genuinely cares when I’m overwhelmed and helps me out. Granted, I don’t have a baby, but I do have a small farm. He goes out of his way to help me with things when I’m sick or just have a lot on my plate.
I also feel like I struggle with how to really let him know how much I appreciate it. His love language is basically a mix of all of them too. 
I just try to do things for him that make him feel like he matters. Ex- Halloween is his favorite holiday so I planned a cute build-a-bear date for him to help, I made soup last week when he was sick, and try to tell him all the time how much I appreciate him. I try to take things off his plate if I can as well and try to plan ahead to make his life a little easier.
I don’t know, I suppose I don’t have much advice. Those are just some of the things I have done. Completely understand the baffled feeling, it’s so new and strange to me as well and I’m adjusting to it. I never thought people like this actually existed and it makes me cry happy tears.
LOL anyways, try to occasionally see if you can take anything off his plate that helps him. 
Or even just simple things, like getting his fav snack/ drink when you’re out as an extra “thank you”.
Following this post for advice 
Just tell him how grateful you are. Make him his favorite meal. Stuff like that makes them so happy. Its the little things. I tell my husband how grateful I am and it always makes him smile.
Lots of hugs and special meals. Date nights time for two of you
Just want to say this is so AMAZING!
Tell him all day long! Because girl you are lucky
When he gives you that me time, enjoy it! Take a nap, shower relax or cook a great dinner. Men want to be respected and appreciated women want love and attention. Tell him how much everything he does is amazing them make him his favorite food or order his favorite place and enjoy this great balance.
Tell him and tell others in his presence. Do something special for him too.
I’m sure you will thi k of something to show him your appreciation. Talk to your girlfriends about some ideas. Nice to see you are appreciating what he’s doing. It’s rare to hear of the Dad doing what he’s doing.
That’s wonderful, it makes a world of a difference when you have a supportive partner. All the best to you !
Give him a home cooked meal or something that he wants. Like a hobby he does from time to time.
That is awesome momma Very happy for you.
Just communicate to him what you told us basically and how grateful you are to experience this with him.
When I want to show people how grateful I am, I always make it very clear to them with my words. And if I can, for someone who goes above and beyond, and makes my life better, I will get a gift that I think will make them truly happy.
I don’t know what your husband likes, but maybe there’s someone he misses and wants to go see them but hasn’t because life? Arrange the trip? Maybe he likes fishing? Arrange a fishing trip with a friend, or if he prefers to go alone, go for that? Does he like video games? Get him a new headset, and game he wants, and give him an entire day to play as much as he wants? A massage? Breakfast in bed? Tools? Family photos? A handwritten letter? You know your husband, you know what will make him happy…just do that and clearly tell him just how grateful you are for him.
Shower him with love and support. Praise him, make sure to say it so he knows.
Have romantic dinner an some naughty sex… Maybe a blow job. Just a thought 
Buy him a gift cook him a breakfast…
I asked my husband your question. He said, “BJs. Lots of BJs.” So… there ya go.
Tell him. Tell him how much you enjoyed you time for yourself. Do something nice for him in return. Go out of your way to make his favorite meal when you can. A little extra sexy time. A simple thank you for being a wonderful dad and husband is always nice. Let him “overhear” you bragging about him.
