Run daddy Run!

I can totally see why fathers to be, go MIA, while the wife is expecting. My god the hormones are enough to make the mommy to be, wanna go MIA.

Definition of Hormone (to everyone else)
HORROR what everyone else goes through for 9 months while dealing with the expecting mother.
MOANS what everyone else does when she comes anywhere near them.

The larger you get the more y0u think your significant other is not sexually interested in you anymore.

When asked to do something it needs to be done at that second or it gets done noisily by the mommy

Looking or talking about other women will cause an emotional break down

Our bodies are changing, our sleep is screwed, we pee hourly, and food has become an obsession

If the mommy is not the center of attention the unborn child better be.

Just because the tits are bigger does not mean they can be played with the way you are used to.

Preparations need to be done BEFORE the baby is born. Yes we are freaking out that our child is going to be naked, hungry, and be sleeping in a dresser drawer.

Any movie or show that is sad will make you cry.

Sex is a whole lot more pleasurable. Though certain positions are not possible to do. But if the mommy wants it you give it up.

AND THEN THERE IS THE WHEN THE BABY IS BORN FEARS.

Will the daddy get overwhelmed and stay away?
Will having this baby make me sexually loose?
Will I be the only one caring for this kid?
Will my husband feel like he has no freedom?
Do I have everything ready to be a parent?
What all do I need for this baby?

If you do it he will too

My husband is such a follower. He set up a myspace page because all his friends were using it. After a month that fascination ended, and he deleted his account. I started a myspace page that we can share so we can view other friends pages. But it clearly tells everyone how much we hate myspace.

MYSPACE

Then his friends found twitter. It did not take him long before he was telling people that we were sitting on the couch watching TV. Thankfully he did not do it as bad as most people.

TWITTER

He has already found a new fascination. Thanks Jerrys Friends. He is now addicted to Face book. Sigh. This time it is really bad. He actually sits on the couch with the tv silent looking through his face book. While I just sit and stare at him, then snatch the remote and watch tv.

FACEBOOK

I can just hope that if his friends decide to bungee off a building he does not fallow them there too.

its cold continued......

Oh god I didn't sleep at all. When I wasn't trying to get comfy I was thinking about how mad he is at me. I found that out really quick.

I set my alarm to get me up so I can make sure that he gets up too. He had reset his alarm for 15 more min. Instead of asking me why I wasn't in bed he asked me where the fuck were you. I answered with I couldn't sleep. So 15 min later I went in and got him up again. He had again reset the alarm and asked me why aren't you in bed? I told him I couldn't sleep. Each time I would crawl back into the futon bed in the babies room. Finally he got up and got ready.

One way I knew he was stilled pissed off at me, was the fact that he didn't even come in to check on me or anything. He just got up, got dressed, didn't have breakfast, and left immediately. The garage door is right by the babies room. You have to pass it to get out. He didn't even say anything to me. He set the house alarm and walked out.

I must have really did him good last night to make him hate me so much that he won't even talk to me. Any other day he would have gotten up and looked for me this morning. He would have been concerned that I was not in bed. He would have talked to me.

Well it is 817am I need to get ready for work. I know he won't contact me all day so I have to wait this out and see how long it takes him to calm down and talk to me. Now to figured out if I want to be upset tonight and have the baby stress out or stay away and see if he contacts me.

It is going to be a lovely day at work.

It was cold here last night....

I do not mean that just because my air conditioner was fixed last week. I mean it was cold in my bedroom. We went to bed on opposite sides of the bed last night. After awhile I got cold and lonely and went and slept in our future sons room. I still felt the same but at least I knew the love of my life was not beside me making me feel that way.


I don't know which stresses him out more, the fact that he could be fired if he does not pass this class, or that I am pregnant and not doing anything right.

Though being pregnant is one of my fondest dreams.... I have prayed and wished on stars for this. But lately I have wished I had never gotten pregnant. It has caused us to fight in ways we have never fought before. It scares me that he will walk out on me one of these days because my hormones are out of control and his blood sugar makes him have anger issues. Or because he will realize the baby is taking his freedom and my attention. Last week he was pulling at his hair and slamming his fist into the couch because I told him his blood sugar was dropping and he was turning stupid. Like I have for years. According to him that had always upset him. Last night he didn't say a word to me when he came to bed and then he made sure he was as far from me as possible. I said good night and he still ignored me. Eventually I went and slept in the other room. For once he didn't join me. In fact he didn't even ask me where I was going. That is how I new he was fuming about our argument.

It all started with me pushing him to study. He has to pass this class for work or they will fire him. He started the classes on Monday and they end Friday. He is taking the test Monday. I am really stupid when trying to help study because I have no idea what I am reading. I can't help at all with simulators because it involves the computer. After I had finally got him in there to study, he told me to come in and figure out the bills. I didn't want him distracted from his studies but after his pushing I went it. Also cause he said he would help. I went in and tallied everything. I found out how much we got paid and then asked his opinion on how we should pay them so we have money for our vacation. That is where it all turned south. We both started yelling. I was upset cause he said he would help me pay bills and didn't, and he was upset because I asked him to pay the house payment. He then pushed his keyboard away from him pissed off and started canceling the vacation and telling me was going to get fired. I know he needs to study I am the one that is pushing him to do it. He is the one that wants to watch tv and go herping. I paid the crucial ones and left us with 500 for the 2 weeks. I am prepared for the baby fund to be tapped on our vacation. I have 600 in it. We have basically bled it with emergencies. Why not one last week of freedom before the baby comes. We both go on vacation the 22nd. Around midnight I eventually shut down my computer and left the room.

I figured all was fine when I decided to go to bed. I brought him both of his medications and prepared the alarms. I even made sure the bed was ready so he could just slide in and right up against me. At 1240 I told him he needed to come to bed it was getting late. He said in a minute he would. At 10 past 1 he finally came out of the room and went outside to have a smoke. At 125 he came into the bedroom. I had passed out waiting for him. I was laying in a position where he could just back up into me and go into auto spoon. In stead I felt the cats walk the empty space between us. After ten minutes I new he was still pissed at me and I went away.

It is now 235am. I am going to distress and go to bed in the babies room. At least I can sleep now. I good cry while typing works out really well.

Baby Update

As of August 7th I am 26 weeks pregnant. Every visit I have been losing 2 pounds. This past visit I broke even I did not gain or lose. The doctor says now I will be gaining.

Another name has been thought of. We are still in the air about what to call him. So far the names are Dylyn, Trever, and the newest one Sayer (pronounced sawyer).

As of July 17th I have been feeling him moving. I thought I just had a bad case of indigestion. As of the 5th of August he has been highly active. According to the book I am reading he now has has hair. Here are some week 26 studies from books.

From the books:

What to expect when you are expecting:

Week 26 of Pregnancy

Major excitement: Your baby opens her eyes! On the flip side, you might wish yours would stay closed so you could get some sleep.

If a full night's rest has become elusive, welcome to the (sleepless) world of pregnancy insomnia. Between heartburn and leg cramps, bathroom runs and that big beach ball beneath your nightie, it's no wonder your body's having trouble calming down and drifting off. But there are lots of tactics to try that should help keep you in bed (and asleep!) instead of pacing the floor; these include daytime exercise, a daily dose of fresh air, and limiting fluids before you hit the hay. What's up with your baby? She now weighs a full two pounds and measures nine-plus inches. And this week, her eyes, which until now were developing under fused eyelids, start to open. Of course, there's not much to see in there, but if your baby spots a bright light (or hears a loud noise) near your belly, you may notice an increase in fetal activity. (Hey, I'm in here, Mommy!)

Week 26 Pregnancy Tip: Baby's Movements in the Womb

Feel like you're carrying the Karate Kid with all the kicking going on? Your baby is actually practicing all kinds of movements that will eventually be used in life on the outside — including pedaling against your belly, a sort of prewalking skill. As your baby's nervous system becomes more developed, the movements will become much more coordinated. And as the baby gets bigger and stronger, the movements will become much more powerful…and occasionally, even painful to you. If your baby lands a good one, that tiny left hook might hurt — a lot. Another trick he or she may try — stretching that leg out so far that the foot becomes lodged between your ribs (ouch). Next time you come under attack from the karate kid, try changing positions or doing some stretches of your own. You can also gently push your baby back with your hand when your knee-jerker jerks a little too hard. You just might be able to send your slugger back into the corner of the ring!

Pregnancy Week By Week

A resource dedicated to women during pregnancy!

Your Baby

During pregnancy week 26 your baby will grow to almost 2 whole pounds. Your baby may be measured now by her crown-to-rump length, which is about 9.5 inches, or her total length, which measures roughly 12 inches long!

Changes In Your Growing Baby
As you continue your pregnancy week by week your baby will continue building layers of fat to protect her during birth. During pregnancy week 26 your baby's heart develops even further. Some women are able to hear their baby's heartbeat through a traditional stethoscope by 26 weeks pregnant. Don't worry if you can't though, some women aren't able to do this even up until the point of delivery!

Your baby is also busy building neural pathways inside the ears during pregnancy at 26 weeks. These will allow your tiny miracle to respond to noises more routinely while pregnancy. You may notice after 26 weeks pregnant that your baby tends to jump more or startle at the sound of loud noises. This is perfectly normal. Your baby will also start to recognize your voice and that of your partner.

During pregnancy week 26 your baby continues to practice breathing and swallowing amniotic fluid. Many boy babies go through a bit of a growth spurt during 26 weeks of pregnancy, as their testicles start their descent into the scrotum. Typically this process will be complete in just two or three days.

Your Body's Development
By 26 weeks pregnant your uterus should be roughly 2.5 inches above your navel and will continue growing roughly 1 centimeter every week of your pregnancy week by week. Many women will have put on between 15 and 25 pounds by this time. Keep in mind that weight gain often fluctuates significantly around this time primarily due to changes in fluid retention, so don't get bogged down by your scale and weigh yourself too frequently as this can lead to frustration or disappointment.

Changes In Your Body
As you continue your pregnancy week by week from about 26 weeks pregnant on you might start to become less comfortable. Common symptoms women experience around this time include back pain or pressure and leg cramps. You can help alleviate some of this discomfort by stretching routinely and by eating a nutritious diet to help keep your body charged with the vitamins and minerals it needs to grow properly.

Every week your baby develops your body's hormones also grow, change and adapt. Around this time your body's hormones change and may impact the way your body responds to routine exercise. Keep this in mind because your body becomes more prone to injury after about pregnancy week 26.

Some women start experiencing more headaches again as they approach the third trimester. Fortunately Tylenol is often all that is needed to relieve headache pain around this time. If your headaches seem overly frequent or severe you should consult with your doctor. Your doctor might be able to recommend other treatment choices.

Still other women experience some rib pain around this time as the uterus or your baby's feet even press against your ribs. It is quite normal in fact to feel some stabbing or sharp pains under your ribs when your baby moves about. Fortunately a simple change in position often helps alleviate this discomfort.

It isn't uncommon for many women's blood pressure to rise slightly after about 24 weeks pregnant. Most women's blood pressure is lower in the weeks just before this then rises slightly. Your doctor will monitor your blood pressure of course to ensure that your blood pressure stabilizes and does not rise too suddenly. A rapid increase in blood pressure accompanied by other symptoms including pain, swelling or blurry and spotted vision may be a sign that you are at risk for or developing pre-eclampsia. Most women will not develop this condition until the third trimester but it is never too early to be on the lookout for warning signs.
