My colleague is SOOOO proud of his wife following birth. Its lovely!

[notyummy]

Just thought I'd share. One of the guys I work with has just popped into work for today following the birth of his second child at home on Monday morning. They had a 9 lb 2oz baby boy called Tom after a 5 hour labour, and he was obviously GLOWING with pride.....mainly for his DW! He told all and sundry what a star she was, and how much in awe he was at how she had done it.

Just thought I would add this story, as I was touched by what a proud dad and DH he was....and you do hear some right horror stories on here about men being t**ts that I thought I would try and redress the balance.

and a little bit too..... must be lovely

Thats really lovely

That's so lovely. I remember a lovely man at work coming in on cloud 9 after the birth of a child. No one let him near a phone, all his paperwork got done without him knowing it existed! It was so special. He had that look of an angel. I hadn't had any children yet so it was the closest I had yet come to birth.

I can now hear him round the corner telling someone else how great his wife is.....although some of the young single blokes are obviously feeling all the gory details inc 'just a graze mate...no stitches!' is TMI!

How lovely

Have to say my DH was fab too.

My DH was the same, kept saying he was in awe of me!

That's lovely . Long may it last.

The last time my wife gave birth it was great - I was very proud.

Plus we had a nice surprise as a couple of surgeon friends who we had done medicine at University with dropped by to stitch her up afterwards - it was like a college reunion just swapping stories round the trolley as they got to work.

It's lovely isn't it?

I remember my DH sitting there after the birth of DD1, gazing in awe at her, and then in awe at me, saying how proud he was and that he knew he'd have been screaming for drugs.

Very sweet

Ewww, not sure I would have enjoyed that ABetaDad. How did your wife feel about that?
