10 Reasons I love my husband!


So for those of you who don't know, I am 28 weeks pregnant and suffering from a condition called SPD or pubic symphysis dysfunction. It is caused when the pregnancy hormone softens the joints in your pelvis and causes the ligaments to soften and stretch too much, which causes the separate parts of your pelvis to move independently instead as one piece. I can actually hear mine pop and grind when I walk or roll over in bed and it is extremely painful. So needless to say doing anything is really hard, and puts me on the couch for days after to help the inflammation go down. So this is where my amazing husband comes into play......


1. He requested to work from home when his schedule permits to help me with Austin.

2. He did ALL the laundry, folded it and put it away.

3. He scrubbed the tubs

4. and the toilets!

5. Has done and continues to do the dishes

6. vacuumed the whole house

7. has pretty much potty trained Austin

8. lets me sleep in every Saturday and Sunday

9. has taken complete care of me regardless of anything

10. loves me Austin and our little Lily unconditionally.


You cant beat that! What an awesome and wonderful person! We love you!

Man, that list kind of puts me to shame. I hope Kylee doesn't see it. I think she would particularly like #4. She would be stoked if I scrubbed the toilet. By the way, thanks for the message you left on my phone. We got a kick out of it. Austin's a cute kid.

crappy!! i know what that feels like! like someone took a hammer to your pubic bone. for me that went away right after the babies were born, but it feels like i still have that hormone affecting other parts cause every time i stand up, only parts of me stand up. the rest stays sitting down. doesn't feel good. hope you feel better, and can't wait to see photos of a sweet little girl in a couple of months!

I am so sorry you are suffering so much. Were you able to get a brace to help out? Your husband sounds like a gem. You are a lucky girl to have a husband so sensitive to your needs. Way to go Ryan, you rock!

What a great guy-he must be related to Tom (laundry/dish fairy)!! I really hope that the rest of your pregnancy goes smoothly other than that.
