How is everyone doing?

JDarden

I figured that I would check in on people... How are you all doing?  My FI pissed me off today b/c he didn't want to go our check up with the OB.  He questioned why he had to be there b/c all he does is just sit there. 

I told him that I wanted him there for support.  I had to go last time by myself due to him being stuck on 76 coming home from work.  I felt so embarassed like I was the "unwed" pregnant lady in the office.  He ended up going, but I shouldn't have to explain why he needs to be there.

I know how you feel.  I made DH come to everything with me, and he would get cranky after 5 mins of waiting in the office.  Guys just don't get it.

I have a ton of housework to do and I'm not really motivated. It's probably the crappy weather. 

DH has been to a few and he always has a hundred questions to ask the doctor.  Generally he doesn't go with me.  The appointments last 10 minutes; I don't see the point of having him there.

Hi there-

DH never came to my appointments. He did come to the ultrasounds and such but that is it. You are always just in and out. I never felt like an unwed mother- but that is just me.

Well that's the thing... he doesn't ask questions until we get home.  And them I'm like "dear...don't you think you should have asked the doctor that while we were in the office"... and of course he didn't think of it at the time.  LOL.

It just felt awkward being the only one in the office without a partner.  I am usually the last one in the office so normally it wouldn't matter.  But that day there were two to three other couples waiting.  Maybe it was just my hormones getting the best of me.

I am doing much better today.

I guess I am a lucky one-- my DH insisted on being at every appointment.  He loved to hear the heartbeat and he did ask a lot of questions.  Very involved.  I got all of my care at The Birth Center in Bryn Mawr and they strongly encourage partners to be really involved.

 In other news. . . stuck at work!

I'm exhausted. I can't shake it either, no matter how much sleep I get.  Plus, baby recently discovered my ribs and I've been pretty uncomfortable all day.  I can't wait to leave work, go home, and lay down!

I felt the same way all day at work... The rain didn't help either.  I do not like dreary days like today was.

Yeah... you are lucky!!!  I wish you could pass over some of what he has on a daily basis...to want to be that involved.  LOL.

My DH was only interested in the ultrasounds and then when I started going every week and didn't like driving myself.

He is making up for it now by being home the first 2 weeks. He is doing wonderful! I don't want him to go back. I keep joking he is making it so easy I'm going to want another one. LOL!

?Hope everyone's day gets better! We need some sun...?

My husband came to most of the appointments with our first son, but the second time around he only came to a few and then the ultrasound. It never bothered me, and I didn't feel that he was any less involved.

JDarden

Maybe it has to do with the fact that this our first child that I want him there for everything.  Then again, if I didn't want him to come he would probably feel like I am leaving him out.
