Our roomate finally moved out Dec 6. But he left so much stuff here it isn't funny. In order to make room for my sister to come and help us out a bit before and after the arrival of our baby this week, my husband spent 2 hours trying to clean out the guest room. Up and down the stairs over and over. I lost count about the 15th time. NO JOKE. He put the stuff in the garage. About ready to pop, all I could do was watch.
I told him thank you 1/2 a dozen times. But it doesn't seem to be enough. My hubby is such a thoughtful person. I also let him know that. What I feel like doing is calling up my former roomate and letting him have it. But that doesn't get the message to my hubby how grateful I am. How would you show it?

Your husband is so sweet! You are very lucky to have him. He sounds like my husband, he would have done the same thing, but probably have thrown the stuff out as opposed to putting it in the garage.
I am sure that he knows how much you appreciate him doing this for you. Once you are feeling up to it you should cook him his favorite meal and dessert. That is what I would do, maybe get him some flowers too.
Have a nice day and happy myLotting!!!

I am betting that he already knows that you appreciate all of the things he does for you. If not all you wold have to do it let him go through your posts here. I don't recall you ever saying anything negative about him on here.
BTW, glad to hear that the sponge is gone even if his crap isn't.

Hello ersmommy. It is so nice of your hubby to be busy with the household chores by making the house clean and tidy and making room for your sister to come and help you out with your future baby. Take good care of yourself, ersmommy. I am looking forward to hearing good news of the arrival of your baby this week. All the best wishes to you, my dear friend.

I don't think there's much you can do in your current state. I'd say make him a nice treat, like cookies, cake, brownies or something. Perhaps give him a night off so he can go out and enjoy himself, since you have your sister with you.
Or you can wait and pay him back another time when you're more capable of it. Or you can just take it as a repayment for things you've already done for him in the past.
Something I once did for my hubby is make a list of all the things I appreciate him for. He still has that list and can look at it whenever he wants, including times when we're arguing.

You're hubby is so sweet. Hugging him, massaging him, and kissing him would be enough as a thank you. He truly loves you, that's for sure so he just let you feel how much he loves you by doing all those things, so give him back the love that he gave to you.

I am sure that putting your arms round him and giving him a big kiss would show him how grateful you are to him. You must be honored to have such a wonderful husband. Treasure these thoughts for a stormy weather. I am glad that right now there is sunshine in your life.

Well, don't let him hurt himself. Otherwise, unless your husband seems to require more in the way of thank yous, I don't think you should fret over it. You've expressed your appreciation and I'm sure he's heard you.

In your current state there is not much you can do except be appreciative. He knows you love him and really appreciated that he did this. Maybe once the baby is born and you are settled into a routine, you can do something nice for him, something out of the blue surprising, as a thank you for being so nice to you while you were pregnant;)

if i were you i would set up a candle light dinner.(his favorite dish) and just have romantic time together .. maybe a simple romantic thank you card... just something simple, but very thoughtful to let him know you appreciate all he does

doing something so kind hearted back helps. buying him a new tool set might also :)
