This is my first time on Mumsnet (as a dad I feel a bit of a fraud!) but I was hoping for some advice from the wise heads out there for someone who has a habit of doing the wrong thing.
I'm married to a wonderful woman who is due to go into hospital this Friday to be induced at 38 weeks to give birth to our baby daughter. We already have a son of 8 who is the absolute light of our lives and so excited to be a big brother. Although we are so excited about what is to come there isn't a day goes by that we don't think of this time last year when my wife miscarried at home at 12 weeks in awful circumstances that saw her in and out of hospital for a further two weeks.
It took time to move forward and things are still hard but throughout my wife has been amazing: as a mother and wife, in her work as a nurse with terminal patients and caring for her elderly parents and volunteering with the disabled and mentally handicapped. She has also somehow managed to stick with me as i dealt with depression and recovery from serious injury.
As the big day rapidly approaches I am racking my brains for ways i can show how loved she is and how much I appreciate everything she does. Saying it flowers just doesn't seem enough! I really would appreciate any thoughts people may have and am extremely grateful in advance to anyone that posts a reply. X
