Ladies, take this from me....I became a single mother because of this.
If you have any annoyances or issues with your significant other - you need to fix them NOW. I'm not kidding about this. Your entire outlook on life is going to change when that baby arrives and the things that annoy you a little now - are going to be the things that are going to make you feel trapped and miserable once your baby has arrived.
Sometimes it just takes taking your DH to side and being like "I love your goofy attitude and the fact that you have such a positive outlook on life, but if you're going to be our baby's father, then I need to see that you have a serious side, too. This means a lot of me, because it's going to take two grounded people to raise a child" or "I need you to be a bit more optimistic. I need you to commit to this. There are going to be days where we need to lift eachother up - days where neither of us has slept for weeks, days in which you're going to realize it's possible to function while sleeping. I want to work with you on developing a more positive attitude because IIIIII need this. We need this. And our baby does, too".
Seriously - if there are any unresolved issues, make sure you work them out now because when you're going through post pardum depression - when you don't feel fantastic about the current state of your body - and when you're so tired you're begging for mini naps throughout the day - you need to know that your DH is going to stand strong with you. Those are fights you won't be able to fight because you HAVE TO put that energy into your newborn baby.
I left my boyfriend at the time only 2 months into the pregnancy because my "drinking buddy" was more concerned about getting trashed with other hot girls then attending an ultrasound with me. This was 9 years ago. I don't drink anymore and I spend my evenings reading books, studying, or spending my days hiking and camping. I'm not that person. And having a child is a bigger commitment than getting married.
Think about that.
I love you all and I'm so sorry that AF arrived Belle! As I've said many times... your body is waiting for the absolutely most perfect egg and spermie!
***EDIT - My mom was the only one in the delivery room with me holding my hand when I got my C-Section. Raising my son from infancy on my own until I met my Husband four years ago was the hardest thing I have ever had to do. I was working full time, school part time, and struggling to keep the electricity turned off. BUT.... I raised my son without an alcoholic father - and I became one hell of a strong woman for that. So... this is the only reason I feel so passionately about making sure issues are resolved first
and acts like 5yrs old 99 percent of the time. Thats why my sex drive is low all the time because we can never get into sexy romantic mood 
***I am now extraordinarily happy and feel very blessed to have the life I do, but I'll be damned if I didn't take the longest and most difficult path to get here! HAHAHA
That's what my dad did too, he sent us money but didn't see him much. Now he has a year old son and told us that he loves him the most and he never felt the same love towards us.
