pregnancy week by week

Knowledge... is gross

Readin' a book. The Expectant Father. The little lady purchased What to Expect When You are Expecting (otherwise known as the pregnancy bible).

My book is pretty interesting, and yet the author is just a little more brave than I am. He mentions feeling his wife's cervix. He says that if our OB doesn't offer, then I should ask.
Buddy, a little mystery in a marriage goes a long way!!!
I don't mind being involved in my wife's pregnancy, but to me... 'hands-on' is purely a figurative phase!

I didn't really worry too much about money, until every other paragraph in this certain chapter talks about that's what men worry about most, and that's the thing that causes men to seem distant and not involved. So all of a sudden, I'm scared half to bankruptcy. How am I going to afford a baby? My job is not the federal welfare system, I don't get a raise just because I prove that I can pro-create.
So, lump me in with the other 90-something percent of men.

Her book is chocked full of all the information you never wanted to know about pregnancy and having a baby. You know, instead of condoms and STD's in a sex-ed course, maybe they should have the girls read this book. If you read it before you were pregnant, you would take EVERY known precaution NOT to get that way.

Learning a lot... I got homework already!

  • I need to contact my insurance provider: I call my benefits department at work, they say I don't have to change anything with them until the baby is actually born.
  • List of questions for your OB: delayed cord clamping???
You say you don't know what delayed cord clamping is? Apparently it is waiting to clamp/cut the umbilical cord till after it stops pulsating.

T M I ? Well, you asked.
