3rd Trimester

DH can be so dense, but cute!

Yesterday, DH and I were with my DD shopping at Target.  We had to buy the breast pump and travel system.  I wanted to get the pump now b/c they had it on sale (Medela in-style for $249). 

He picks up the box and asks me when I am going to start pumping and freezing the breast milk in anticipation of the baby.  I just started cracking up and said that my milk won't come in until the baby comes!

He looked puzzled and said that it would be better if we could get a jump on it and what could we do to get my milk to come in?  I had to explain that my instincts tell my brain to produce the milk after the baby is born.  With DD, it was the day after I had her and I was taking a shower, then BAAM!!!  Giant, leaking breasts!!!

Thought he was cute!

    haha thats hilarious...

    my dh needs some lessons in female anatomy and hygene apparently... we were at labor and delivery (had some fluid leaking) and they gave me the lil cup to collect urine in as well as a sanitary wipe to clean the area prior to collecting the urine...and the nurse said make sure to wipe front to back when cleaning

    dh said what does she mean front to back? and i looked at him like what do you mean, what do you mean? and i had to explain why women typically wipe front to back to avoid spreading bacteria into the vagina lol....

    he just looked at me like i was crazy- and said he had no idea

    i laughed and now know that i have a long road to helping him take care of a baby girl lol

    that is hilarious!  they get so confused so easily! 
  • I laugh at my dh all the time.  The other day we were in the babies room cleaning stuff up and I asked him to hand me a package in the floor.  He picks it up and ask what is this thing.  It was a bottle brush we got at the baby shower.
