the umbilical cord as a toy … yes that’s very true and as a father who isn’t carrying the cord or the child playing with the cord you most probably will not know how painful it can be when they tug on it like they’re rining a bell for lunch! as long as they don’t pass out from lack of oxygen when gripping it … i guess it’s all in good fun.

at 20 wks our ultrasound tech caught this quite painful action on film for us … and so i finally had an explaination to the painful stabs that shot up my nether regions every so often.

I feel for your wife. I remember being there, thinking that the world just assumes that you’re fat when you’re really too small to be noticed as pregnant. That will definitely change soon. Just be there for her, rubbing her back and feet and tell her how beautiful she is. The crying won’t get better…sorry! Again, just be there for her. She’ll appreciate it. Good luck!

We’ve jumped, er… hobbled onto the sciatica train here as well. 3 months left.

Hahaha! Did she give the person who asked her a sweet uppercut?

My wife is due May 25, and she had the same issues with looking pregnant vs fat. Well, at least it could be worse. Or it was so with us. Someone asked her a while ago when she was expecting, when she wasn’t. Maybe that’s why she agreed to get pregnant?

Ah week thirteen… it only seems like yesterday yet here we are (me and my mrs) at week 35 staring week 36 straight in the face.

I love my mrs’ pregnant belly and I think we are both going to miss it! Enjoy the rest of the pregnancy and hope all goes well for you in seventeen weeks time

Fun blog!! I’m going to spend my breakfast computer time getting all caught up on your fun.

Women’s views of their own bodies are so skewed. I had a section of my closet devoted to tops that “made me look pregnant”, saving them for one day when I was actually pregnant. Now that we are sooooo pregnant (38W), I can’t believe that I ever ever ever thought that stomach looked pregnant. And those shirts, they barely got me through the first trimester.

Something tells me that if she is running….during pregnancy…that she is far from fat. Baby belly does not equal fat. In fact they can be quite fetching.

Hang in there you two.
