@Crysi Wow. It’s just so shocking to me how it doesn’t end, and even gets worse. Taking a step back and looking at all this, it blows my mind how much BOTH a mom and dad change throughout pregnancy. It’s like we’re going to be different people by the time our baby arrives. And come to think about it, the friend’s I’ve had over the years who had children acted a LOT different once their baby was born. Other friends and I would talk about them and how much they’ve changed and we didn’t understand why. I’m starting to understand why. This is some crazy stuff!

@Daddy Files… LOL There’s no crying in baseball is right! So crazy to hear about your wife. I’ve worked with many woman in the past who were the hard-core corporate type and I would have bet everything I had that they never cried in their life. But now I know no one… NO ONE can escape the hormones and emotions that pregnancy brings. Also, I just read your post about your wife’s job loss. I’m so sorry to hear about that – but glad you guys had fun at Friendly’s!

@bessie.viola… yup, you’re right. We both have a loooong way to go here! And staying away from the news now-a-days is a good thing to do I think even if someone isn’t pregnant. It’s too negative!

It’s okay Jane! Let it out if you need to, and you too Tarzan! Pregnancy and children are emotional things!

My wife was a cutthroat, corporate gal with ice water in her veins. I’m talking hard-nosed, take no prisoners, get this frilly crap out of here kind of girl. But then she got pregnant and had a baby. And she is a complete cream puff.

When she was pregnant I’d find her crying on the couch. When I asked her why, she had no reason. She just “felt like a good cry.” And even now she gets emotional watching A Baby Story and Bringing Home Baby and she doesn’t even resemble the tough girl I once knew. But as long as she’s not crying because of postpartum depression, it’s all good. Just realize she’ll be a total cream puff from here on out and accept it.

And for God’s sake stop tearing up. There’s no crying in baseball! =)

My husband came very very close to crying the first time he held Adia. I did catch him all teary eyed a few times and he can’t even be in the same room when she gets her blood drawn or shots. He can’t watch his little girl be in pain without crying. It’s not easy for Mommy either, but someone has to comfort her.

Ok, for the next 25 weeks (and pretty much until the little one understands that bed means sleep ALL night) NO horror or thriller movies, no movies where a mother or baby dies.. even Bambi is out of the question, lol. It’s romantic comedy time for you.. and after the romantic comedies you’ll roll into the Pixar stuff, haha.

Don’t worry, the day will come when Jane will be able to listen to loud music again (of course not whenever the baby is around or in bed or within ten feet of the house, lol) and watch thriller movies. She just won’t be able to watch Bambi, ever.

It could be worse, when I was pregnant for the 1st time I was picking fights all the time for 6 months. 6 long months….
