did your oh get you a present post baby?
An old friend just told me this incredibly sweet story (her birth story) and I thought Id share and ask if anyone else had similar experiences
SHe had a long labour and after 50 odd hours the baby became distressed and they took her in for an emergency csec. So the nurse mad her pull all her rings off and she handed all her jewellery over to her dh. She had a pretty hard recovery and lost a lot of blood, and three days later she asked her husband for her wedding ring ect back, well him being an awfully sweet guy went out and bought a band with diamond wrapped all the way around it to match with her wedding ring to thank her for giving him their little girl. When he gave her back her rings he gave the new one too and asked her to wear it with her wedding band. So I am sat here in a well of tears, I am so happy for her, and so happy she's come through her pregnancy so well, but goodness that is so romantic.
So just to ask anyone else have any tear jerking completely romantic stories about their oh?

What a lovely story x
WHat alovely story! xxxx
BUT......he did run around after me and did all the washing, cleaning etc so I got spoilt that way!
When we found out I was pregnant with our second we'd had a holiday booked for months, and spent a week in tenerife. We saw a lovely little jewellery shop tucked out of the way in a tiny village and I saw an eternity ring in there... which he bought for me
I fully expect him to take over the cooking and cleanin again this time even though he'll have an Ollie to look after aswell, as he has 4 weeks off, and we're already aware of how much it takes after a c section without a toddler running around

Anyway - he got me a bouquet made up at the florist (for the 1st time ever in 4 years) and they were gorgeous.
But you know what, think I will let him off this time as he was so traumatised by the labour and birth (4 days of failed induction closely followed by an emergency section. Followed by a 3 week stay at my moms so we would have some extra support).
Maybe next time, but I doubt it as the only way I get flowers from him is when I put them in the shopping trolley when he is paying. LOL.

Diamonds would be nice too though hehehehe!!!!!
I got A huge bunch of Lillies (my lo is called Lily) which i thought was v sweet! He also came to the hospital at 8am each day and didn't leave til 10/11pm each day (apart from 2 mornings he had to go to work) the whole week i was in there so i didn't have to be on my own to long and helped loads with nites etc when we got home which i appreciated much more than any 'actual' present he could've bought.

I did get an eternity ring but had to wait until my fingers had gone down a bit!
