Before I get ready for my morning, I really wanted to share this with you ladies - RE: DH
Many of you may remember how frustrated I was with DH for not really helping with Cailen.
and how tired and sick he was all the time.
A few months back, although at that point he was actually more helpful, it still wasn't enough. I was breaking down from exhaustion about everything. I was still so frustrated with him.
After he thought about things for a few days, he told me that from now on, he was going to take 3 nights a week for baby duty. This was still when Cailen was in the living room, which meant DH had to sleep on the love seat downstairs (we dont have a couch!)
Shortly after, Cailen transitioned to the crib, and we were back upstairs in our bedroom.
But, even on the nights that DH is not on duty, when Cailen wakes up, DH will go downstairs and bring me up the bottle for him!!!
Or, on nights he is screaming for his bottle, and I'm making it, DH will take Cailen out fo the crib and comfort him....
He has taken over for any needs while we are eating so I can eat and not put my food down like I did for months in the past....
DH will come home earlier a few nights a week so I can go to kickboxing, and will then put him down for the night before I come home.
I am so proud of DH. He has stepped up so much. Yes, it took 6 mts to get to this point - but for those moms at their ropes end with DH, you MUST talk and taklk and talk and make sure that you ask for what you need....
so, lets hear a woop woop for DH!!!

See, we're not all bad.... 
Glad to hear he's helping out. Most DH's really want to help, but need a little push/direction/instruction/etc.

That's really great that your DH stepped up like that. And I am sure it means a lot to him to hear you acknowledge it. (Positive reinforcement  )

look - at 4 mts, he was still in training mode - give him 2 more mts.
Or tell him no trying for any little boys until he steps up right NOW!!!
