My wife has been pregnant for almost 9 months. I have been told that is how it goes with this pregnancy stuff. Don't ask how, but we knew she was pregnant since about day one of the pregnancy. I was ready to have kids. I thought so anyway. This was a planned pregnancy at least. It has always been real for my wife. She has been full of excitement and a whole lot of other emotions since we found out. It never really seemed as real to me. Maybe it was because I had nothing but gas in my belly and she was the one with the weird kicking inside her.

I was excited but you probably couldn't tell. It is also hard being so excited when everyone you meet wants to ask you the same thing and tell you about when they had their kids. Too bad for you. This is MY kid. Time for ME to be excited. You had your fun now let me. I may be able to understand more after the event, but until then, to me, your pregnancy is just your pregnancy. If I don't ask then I probably don't care, not to mention the guy before you told me the same thing.

Anyway, I am excited now. I actually looked at some of the "cute" little girl clothes and smiled today. The due date is coming in around 3 weeks and I really can't wait. I am even hoping she is a bit early so I can get out of work and get my wife back. I mean this in the sweetest way possible and she will back me on this. It is really hard dealing with someone who is always right and always able to say "I changed my mind" after you have gone to three different grocery stores looking for the right kind of ice cream flavor. At least my wife is cool enough to laugh at herself later, apologize, and tell me she still loves me. Hope this last part doesn't make me sound too whipped. Actually, I think I am going to get on Halo 2 and kill something.
