Via my wife. I emailed her the questions and she replied.

1) What is it that made you fall in love with your husband/boyfriend/baby daddy?

He is kind and considerate and funny. And puts up with all my crap, plus the crap the world dishes out in the form of crazy family members and surprise pregnancies. He's also pretty darn cute. I am falling deeper in love with him as this pregnancy drags on. He's been pretty amazing when it comes to getting me silly crap...like my prenatal vitamin that is right next to the bed, but I am already laying down and don't want to even sit up. Also, He rubs my feet. Which is sweet to begin with, but it extra significant because NO ONE touches my feet. I hate them and wish there was some way they could no exist but I could still walk.

2) What would you like, or have liked, to see your man do MORE for you during your pregnancy?

Clean things. Except that I want to clean it myself. Glad I get a few weeks of leave before the baby comes.

3) What would you like, or have liked, to see your man do LESS of during your pregnancy?

Gaining weight with me. I love him no matter what, but I know it bothers him that he's gained baby weight, too. Yay jogging stroller! Fortunatlly, I get to nurse and he's a dude, so the weight can come off fairly easily if we stop eating Krispy Kremes and cheeseburgers.

4)  What is your favorite part of being a mom/expectant mom?

Getting all the things ready. Just wish we had more energy to do stuff after work. Seems like we both are totally zapped after work and just want to vegetate on the weekends.

5) How does it make you feel knowing that your man is posting on this board?

I don't mind it at all. It's his way of dealing with the madness that is bringing a baby into the world. I am glad it entertains him.

When I read this first sentence I just figured you wrote it all.

1) What is it that made you fall in love with your husband/boyfriend/baby daddy? I think you're all pretty aware I'm married to Coltsdad LOL  He's my bestfriend.  I fell in love with him on our 1st date and 5yrs later he still makes me laugh daily.  We love all of the same things and are basically the male/female equivalents of each other.  He's smart, caring, loving, best dad ever, best hubby ever.  He can piss me off because hey we're human but it's darn near impossible to stay mad at the man.  He's too darn funny!  When he gets mad his rants are freakin' hysterical.  (Because I love you so dearly I left out our cutesy names for each other to save you face on your man's board) 

2) What would you like, or have liked, to see your man do MORE for you during your pregnancy?  He's been pretty darn helpful with picking up my cleaning slack, helping with DS1, and taking care of me when I'm exhausted so I got nothin'.  Go clean the cat boxes and we'll call it even.

3) What would you like, or have liked, to see your man do LESS of during your pregnancy? Less sleeping on the couch on nights off cause I don't sleep as well without him.  Maybe make it 1 night instead of both? 

4)  What is your favorite part of being a mom/expectant mom?  I love seeing the little person we created growing up and seeing him do new things.  LOVE watching my hubby and my son bond and play... makes me tear up thinking about it, stupid hormones.  His smile, his laugh, his personality... just makes me so freakin' happy.  I won't lie, we thought this one was a girl and I wanted a girl but I'm so excited for another boy.  DS2 will be here at the end of Feb and I can't wait for DS1 to have a brother.  I absolutely adore being pregnant!!  If we could afford a bunch of kids I'd do it.  The feeling of a little person moving around in your belly is indescribable. 

5) How does it make you feel knowing that your man is posting on this board?  I love it.  He's always been super involved and it just makes me love him more.  Our friends either have no children or have older children so this is a place where he can chat with other dads with similar aged kids.  I have my moments of frustration because I feel like I can't always vent to my ladies on my boards because my hubby could be lurking but I'm sure he feels the same way when I invade the dad's board.  We just try to respect each other's feelings when posting on each other's "home boards" and so far so good.  I also try to keep my lurking to a minimum on the dad's board but nobody's perfect.
