To carry any person up and down stairs every day for months is quite a task. What a loving husband. He probably is incredibly strong after all of that too, I have a hard time doing push ups, this guy carried a human around and up and down stairs for months.

As someone with Crohn's, I'm in awe of that man. Stress can set of a flare and I honestly don't know how he managed it. The pain of trying not to go, has left me doubled over in pain.

My father did something similar. We just got a new kid a month or so ago, and he just went above and beyond to help my mother with him(my new brother). Diaper changes, holding him when he's cranky, taking him as long as physically possible so my mom could get some rest, and even taking care of the 4 other kids who are below 10. It was really sweet.

These are the kind of men that mothers can have full faith in. The mothers can go out or have a nap, feeling comfortable that the men will take good care of their babies. While the actual pregnancy is 100% down to the mother, parenthood should be 50/50.

I was afraid of being in labor for endless hours. When the doctor said I was not progressing in dilating and my water had not broken, he said we could go for a walk as it may help progress things along. My husband said "Let's take the stairs" helping me with every step (3 flights) and took the elevator down. We were only gone for 30 minutes, but when we got back, the doctor said "Wow...did you go jogging? You're almost ready!" Sweet! After my son was born, my husband said "Cafeteria is closed. What would you like me to get you to eat." I forgot I hadn't eaten for 16 hours. I said Cheeseburger. He got it, pizza and a couple of bottles of Gatorade because he knew I was dehydrated. He sat with me until midnight eating and whispering until they brought another new mom in our room. Her husband couldn't be there so we shared our pizza with her.
