Pregnancy is Really Hard

My wife is 7 months pregnant and it has been very difficult. Here are just a few issues:

  1. She has to sleep with so many pillows to prop her in a comfortable position that I am left with only two inches of bed.

  2. Sometimes she is hormonal and grumpy and gets mad at me for things like refusing to help with anything ever.

  3. She makes pained noises when she bends over to pick up things and it bothers me when I am playing on my laptop.

  4. She gets heart burn so badly that I can’t order the spicy food I want to eat. Tonight she ordered our thai food “extra extra mild”. If you are ever tempted to do that just know that instead of the masaman curry you ordered you will get some gray potato water and your husband will have to pout for hours because you ruined dinner and then he will have to go write on his blog and tell everyone about it.

Pregnancy is really hard.

    You’re right, it is difficult. New babies are hard too. Did you know that you may be expected to change diapers?

    I think expecting fathers need support groups.

    So, have you had the new baby by now??

    And yes, pregnancy sucks. For both the wife and the husband.
