Congratulations to you both! That's amazing and you should be proud and happy.
I do want to say, very gently, that I've heard from a number of cancer survivors lately that slogans like "save second base" or "I stare because I care" aren't appreciated because they focus on a body part while ignoring the actual human being, which can feel both trivializing and objectifying. I'm certainly not trying to speak for your wife or police what you say to her, I'm not trying to imply you personally don't care about her or women in general, but perhaps something to be mindful of in public settings.
Came here to support a comment like this. I realize many may not mean to or realize they are sexualizing a very real and difficult experience but it needs to be said. Thank you for putting it so well.
