Just want to scream!

Today has been one of those days you just want to scream. First off work was really slow and boring. To top it all off my phone died in the middle of the day at work, so I could not get a hold of my wife. When we did talk, the idea of having pork chops for dinner came up. I was going to get them on the way home from work but my phone was dead and didn't want to go with out asking her if she wanted something else. I go home to get her, and remember now she doesn't have to work today and hasn't done anything all day. I walk in the door and there she is sleeping away on the couch in the living room, She looked so cute I didn't want to wake her but the dog decided different and started barking at me for just standing in the door and she jumped up.


Now for one thing, we really do not do much stuff with out each other and we always go to the store together. I ask her to go with me and she gives me this "I am tired and haven't taken a shower today, I have spots on my shirt from eating tacos earlier". She was at home all day and I have been up since 5:3am( it's about 3:30pm at this time). When I called her at 9am, she was still sleeping and she went to bed at the same time I did, about 11pm the night before. I just tell her I will go to the store alone then hoping she will go, but I end up going alone. I am gone for about an hour at the store doing some shopping and picked up a little more stuff then I went for , just stay out the house for a little bit.

When I get home, I go ahead and start on dinner and she helps me unload all the groceries. She is very helpful and does some of the dishes before dinner. After dinner we lay down for about a half-an-hour and then she starts to tell me that she wants Ice cream. I told I was going to pick some up but didn't know what type because she keeps changing her mind about that too. Noe if she wants me to go back to the store to get her some and she says "I'll go with you". Yeah right if you would have gone with me in the first place you would have your damn ice cream. This again makes me want to scream!!!

Right now she is cleaning out the closet in our room and is going to reorganize it. I am gone the whole day and she did nothing but now when it's time to relax she wants me to help her clean the closet out. She says it some pregnant woman thing to start nesting to get ready for the baby. Well I can use this nesting thing to my advantage for awhile but I know it's going to back fire sooner or later. Looks like the house is going to get reorganized whether I like it or not. Boy am I glad softball has started and I am out of the house while she wants to clean everything.

Good Days

Well, the last two days have been really relaxing for me. Yesterday I had softball practice(free time), but on the way to practice I offer to buy her breakfast before she goes to work from 1pm to 6pm. Guess where we went, yep Jack-in-the-Box, Is it me or do all women crave this when there pregnant or is it just the fact that it annoys me to go there. I may complain but I will take her where she wants to go when ever she wants to go. She tells me that she doesn't like any other breakfast, I can't really disagree there because all fast food breakfast sucks.

Then I picked her up from work and we went shopping, and man does the menu change in a instant. First we are going to eat steak tips with mashed potatoes, then it went to steak with baked potato and salad, then out of nowhere she wants tacos because we see hamburger meat.
I mean really, can you change your mind in five minutes more than that. The worst part about it all is we ended up having spaghetti again!!!!

Today, I really haven't seen her that much. I went to work and she went and hung out with her mom. They went to huckleberry square( if you don't know what this, it is a really good place for breakfast). I love this place, this where all the guys in my family would get together and have breakfast once a year, Makes me miss Poppy every time I hear the name.

When I got home, I cooked us some steak and baked potatoes but no salad. The steak was good but she had a big potato and I took two small ones, she ended up eating about half of mine and cleaned her plate. This is a good sign that two nights in a row she has eating all her food, and I have given her pretty big portions. Before she would get sick about half way through the meal, no matter what we were eating. I hope this means the morning sickness (aka the all day sickness) period is over. I really did feel bad for her but I get so frustrated because I can't do anything for her and It makes me feel like shit because I can't help her. Well, looks like times are looking good right now but times and minds change quick around here.

Long Day

Well today my wife had to work an 11 hour day, but was still happy to go to two different birthday parties with me. She is a little tired right now, and getting ready for bed. At the first party, it was basically the first time that these people have saw her since we found out she was pregnant. They were all very happy and all wanted to touch her belly, which she doesn't really care that much but she isn't really showing yet. I guess it's a woman thing that they want to touch each others bellies when they are pregnant, because you don't see guys doing it.

The second party was with our main group of friends, and there is three women that are pregnant. In one room there is a poker party going on and in the other sit the pregnant women discussing their new habits and trends, since they have been pregnant. It is really funny to listen to three of them talking because some habits they say are pretty much the same and then again some of the habits are completely different. For example; they were talking about belly buttons protruding out(some do and some don't)and my personal favorite they all are sitting there discussing their boob sizes. Overall today was a good day and it is time to go to bed now.

What's with the language?

Well, I will have to admit that today was a pretty good day over all. I only had to work an 8 hour day and my wife didn't have to work at all today(lucky her). We went out to her friends house for dinner tonight, out in Puyallup. The food was good and so was the conversation but I am starting to learn that pregnant women do not have filters on their mouths. Now my wife throws out some f-bombs here and there, but tonight oh my god she has begun to sound like me. I just hope the baby isn't listening or we will be having a lot of explaining to do. I personally am trying to not swear as much around her because I think that the baby can hear, but she says the baby only hears muffled sounds. Anyone know if that's true or not?

I love my wife dearly, but I might have to send her back to English class before the baby arrives!!!

Complaint of the day

So today I work a ten hour day and come home to relax, while my wife is working from 1pm to 10pm. She says she wants to have lunch together which is normal, so I tell her to come home and I will fix her something to eat. Normally, she loves when i cook for her but she has been on this fast food binge since she has been Pregnant. This kinda gets to me knowing that money is tight in these times, but I go along with it. Lets get this straight, I think Jack-in-the-box food sucks and she just had to have a sourdough jack with no tomato. Boy this is getting better by the day. That is my complaint for the day.

14 weeks in

Hi, my name is Dan and I am going to be a dad here in about 6 months. I just wanted to tell my story of surviving life with a pregnant wife. I know that some of you people might have comments about what I might say and I welcome that. I will except advice or criticism by people because this is my first time being married and this will be my first child. My wife is 14 weeks pregnant and everything is going good. She is very healthy besides the morning sickness ( by the way why is it called morning sickness when their sick a day). The baby is doing good and we have been to two ultrasounds. Now the surviving part has not been that bad except for the cravings, her cravings have not got all that weird yet but when she wants something she better get it. I always loved to spoil her and that maybe getting me into trouble now. I don't know what to expect from here but I am sure it will be a journey.
