Giving attention to hubby

For more than 2 years, my hubby was my baby. He loves how I take care of him, cook for him, and make him lambing. He gets all my attention, especially when I resigned from work last year. Now that I’m pregnant I know that my hubby would also have to make lots of adjustments. He used to be my baby but would now be promoted to being a daddy. I know it’s so easy to get caught up with being pregnant and giving all your attention to making sure that you’ll have a healthy pregnancy to ensure that baby would be healthy and normal. More often than not, pregnant women usually (but not intentionally) tend to overlook the husband and his needs. I am a bit guilty with this during the early weeks when we found out we were pregnant. With the lifestyle adjustments that I have to make since a diabetic (and obese) pregnant woman would be very prone to pregnancy complications, I expected him to shower me with lots of attention and understand my emotional roller coaster ride. Having raging pregnancy related hormones didn’t help as well. During those early weeks, I would just prefer to lie down on the bed and rest rest rest. I’m just thankful that he stepped up and tried understanding what I was going through as much as he could. I really feel guilty during his am shift wherein he has to be at work by 6am in makati. I used to cook him breakfast no matter how early it was. I would just go back to sleep afte he has left. But lately I just really couldn’t manage getting up and make him asikaso. I would often wake up to seeing him iron his own clothes for work and no matter how guilty I feel, I was just too sleepy to get up. He would also just end up having his breakfast at work. Anyway, now that my energy’s slowly coming back and I’m almost on my 2nd trimester. I’m consciously trying to give more attention to the hubby. I know I was previously too lazy to cook (well, not to mention the fact that I despise certain odors while cooking and that my tastebuds were sometimes not cooperative as well) so now I’m trying to get my cooking groove back and cooking him food that I know he likes coz I know that’s one of the things he misses. I’m starting to get back the responsibility of ironing his clothes again. And of course I make sure that I don’t scrimp out on hugs and kisses as well. I’m just really thankful to be blessed with such a wonderful, understanding, and supportive husband. So far, I’m enjoying going through this pregnancy journey with him despite feeling like a pincushion with all the insulin injection and blood sugar monitoring that I’d have to do.
