I am loving all this pregnancy stuff. My wife gets crazy mood swings, and I just think its terribly cute and endearing.
Talking to other men, and just the general way this is treated in popular culture, I gather that I am supposed to get all pissy and upset about it... but I dont understand how that could be the case.
This is all about the baby WE are going to have. She is doing the MUCH harder part of that, so why would anyone feel anything other than great love and overwhelming desire to make it as easy and comfortable for her as possible?
And for men out there - if you find that the mood swings are getting to you, try this - smile, give her a big kiss and say something like "I love your mood swings. The passion you have is one of the reasons I love you, even if its being passionately annoyed at me and I know that you are under immense stress and physically uncomfortable a lot of the time, and all of that is because you are carrying OUR baby, the product of our love, and for that I love you even more" Then get her some ice chips and grab the lotion for a good long foot rub.
Makes the whole thing much easier

On another note - she ate two dinners last night . I made chicken, cole slaw, cheddar bratwurst (lol) and a nice loaf of bread. She ate a breast, two legs and a thigh, half the loaf of bread, a good 1/2 lb. of slaw, and two brats. Then she went into "OMG Im such a cow" mode, so I took an hour or two to demonstrate in no uncertain terms that I still find her attractive.
I'm really enjoying this whole experience.
