My husband....  

post #1 of 11
Thread Starter 
My husband is a big guy, he's 6'4, been bodybuilding since he was 14. He's an all sport jock and has been the MVP for every sport he's every played, which is all of them. He's now a stunt man, a "manly" man.
But he's also sensitive and caring and loving and the most amazing father to our daughters; he's silly with them, lets them do his hair adding 40+ hair clips to his hair.

He's the oldest and only boy, he has 6 younger sisters. He was raised by a single mother.
I have one sister and we were raised by a single mother. We have three daughters.

Tonight he was washing some baby clothes we were given and he walked into our bedroom, holding this dark blue sleeper, hands shaking and tears rolling down his face. He looked at me and said "we're going to have a son" He held the sleeper up by the under arms as if there were a baby in it, then buried his face and cried into it. He inhaled the smell of it as if our son were already in it, then held it up in front of his face again, and cried again.

I said, "Baby, did you just realize we're going to have a son?" and he said that tonight is the first time he'd let himself believe it. He sat on our bed beside me and just kept crying and saying "my son, our son, our baby boy" holding this sleeper.

I love my husband.

that is just the most sweetest thing i have ever read!!!! there is something special about dads and thier sons. my husband is 1 of 2 boys born into a house of 6 children- everyone else girls. his mother one of 6 children and only 1 boy. we had two daughters first, then our son...his namesake. he loves his daughters more than the world and would have loved another one just as much, but when they hold that baby boy for the first time, something in thier world changes~ it's magical.

I am so happy for you and your husband both! :

p.s. you should print the story out and put it in bubs baby book.

Aw, Sage, I loved that story. My hubby is very similar - loves kids and loves everything connected with my womanhood and producing and caring for our kids. Right now he's blowing up my birth ball, humming and whistling!

That brought tears to my eyes! My husband is an only child of an only child and never planned to have children until DS came along. Now seeing him with our children amazes me! Even big guys can be soooo sensitive when it comes to children.

That is so sweet and tender. My DH was similar after seeing our first ultrasound with our son. He was so overcome with happiness.

That is one of the sweetest stories I ever heard. I agree you should print it out and put it in your baby's book.
