More Things My Wife Has Taught Me About Pregnancy

As an ever evolving Dad-to-be I find myself at the business end of of the learning stick. My wife is the teacher and I’m the student..daily. Since my last list, I’ve learned a few more concepts that are currently fighting for room within my tiny brain. Sorry math, you’re gonna have to squeeze over a little….

  • “Are you hungry?” is now a rhetorical question in my house.
  • I can add stabilizing pillar to my list of husband/fatherly duties. Soft couch + pregnant belly= My arms extended, pulling up my pregnant wife several times a day.
  • Every conversation circles back to the baby. Space exploration, police brutality, politics…whatever.
  • French Fries are like smiles wrapped in rainbows, sprinkled with kittens in a diamond dish, that you can eat. Seriously, they’re a great pregnant woman well of happiness…or maybe its just my wife…
  • The “Pregnant Woman Glow” is true and my wife shines more and more each day.
  • Her days are always harder, her back hurts more then mine, her feet need to be rubbed more.
  • A pillow between her knees while sleeping gives her tremendous comfort…it gives me a 1/4 of the space I used to have on the bed.
  • It is imperative to know the bathroom locations in any given store, mall, or restaurant at any given time. Seriously, the urination frequency of a pregnant chick is absurd.
  • It is imperative to remain patient during this frequent bathroom breaks. It helps if you have a fancy smartphone to keep you busy…I don’t.
  • Pregnesia, Pregtarded or whatever you want to call it, is really funny to watch.
  • That smile she makes when she talks about the baby just gets bigger by the day.
