As we begin our 14th week, our baby’s neck is becoming stronger as he will be able to lift his head from his chin. I’ve become fascinated by reading the baby’s developments as it is truly amazing that my wife is creating life inside of her.
Every day I am more and more amazed by my wife, I’ve started to think of her as a superhero of sorts. I would give her a cape but she would probably rip it off in a fit of rage, telling me how hot it suddenly has become. Her ever changing body is now in full swing and I’m trying to roll with it the best I can.
Mood Swings
The mood changes have subsided lately as my wife has gotten used to her raging hormones, but at first I was a bit scared for my life concerned. She is back to being her pleasant self which is no small feat considering what’s taking place inside of her.
Swelling breast
Apparently as we get further along, my wife’s swelling breast that she hates and I admire will begin to leak some sort of clear (that's not an actual medical term) substance containing antibodies as she starts to produce milk. She’s also informed me that they itch, so taking her out in public is a crap shoot.
Aches and pains
I’m trying to do my part, I really am. I have never been a fan of feet, something I am trying to get over while messaging my pregnant wife’s aching dogs every night. I know, I know, it’s the least I can do…giving nightly massages is my job and I have to do it with a smile on my face.
Bathroom visits
My God, how much fluid is in there? Getting in the car? Gotta pee. Going for a walk? Pee. Bedtime? Pee Pee Pee. My wife has taken residence in our bathroom as it seems that her bladder has shrunk to the size of a golf ball.
So as we continue our journey into the unknown, I will keep reading the books and magazines that let me know that my wife's behavior--as funny or odd as it can be at times--is in fact, normal for someone in her condition. She is handling this in amazing fashion....thankfully men do not get pregnant, there is no way that I could handle this.
