Men, Geez,...Kinda Long

AggiesWife

I hate that I don't get to talk much on here, but my job has denied internet to everybody, except one computer....and everyone is waiting to work on it, so I can't go and play on it.  shucks.  Last time I was on the bump I introduced myself, I almost feel like I should again.  I am 15 weeks prego and could not be more excited!  My husband and I just bought our first home in the Tomball area.  I just started a prenatal yoga class, that I love. 

 

But....Geez, I skimmed over some of the previous blogs looking for encouragement.  Well, I was almost discouraged.  He just doesn't get it.  None of it.  He is awesome and terrible at the same time.  And he thinks that because I have symptoms of pregnacy that he can too.  Wrong.  This is my time for cravings and mood swings and emotional breakdowns, who does he think he is trying to take that away from me.  I was hoping somebody would tell me that it gets better before the baby gets here.  I think I have come to the conclusion that it takes a few months after the baby is here!  Oh, Lord please grant me patience so I don't kick him out of the house....I need somebody to paint the nursery and set up the crib soon! 

 Sorry, needed to let out some heat!

This is a good place to vent. So, go ahead.

It is helpful to some <like me> to remember that the menfolk have adjustments to make too. From his perspective, his life is about to change and the pressures of providing are about to get more real than ever. All this and he doesn't have a regular chat with a doc or a supportive group of people going through the same thing. There is no obvious visible sign, either, so that others understand his situation. He is supposed to be ok - the supportive husband - but maybe he's not entirely ok or ready?

 So, cut him as much slack as you can, but don't let him get away with total jerkiness - you're changes are still more (in every sense).
