So it may seem as though there is so many things that need to be done right after the initial shock has worn off that you will soon be a parent. And there is a lot to do so don't get me wrong! you do have time to stop and think about everything you want to do. The first thing that probably has already popped in your head is oh my god is it a boy or a girl? What should I name the baby? Who will the baby look like? Don't worry though you have 10 months to figure it out.
Hopefully with in the first trimester you have not gotten that awful bug they like to call morning sickness (but has a tendencey to last all day), and if you did may god bless you and allow you to not have it the entire 10 months like I did the first time. Getting out of bed first thing in the morning was like asking a kid to get out of the toy store, it was almost not going to happen. I love how the doc's tell you to keep some crackers and water next to your bed. I suppose in a way it was a good thing since that was what usually got me out of bed, to run to the bathroom puking. There is nothing worse in the world than wanting, craving, longing, for a certain type/kind of food, then eating it and ralphing it right back up. No food is ever as good coming up as it is going down. Now men here is your real parent moment: if the mother of your unborn child asks for something no matter what it is, just do the right thing and get it for her. Keep in mind she is growing a child, an unborn baby that just may look like you, and be named after you. Or it could be a girl not look anything like you and not named after your grandmother you love so much that always has your favorite ice cream when you see her. Either way it is a lot of work and a little tiring to grow something inside of you, and that's the reason Women do it and not men.
Ok so know that you have realized you have a sick obsession with food, and there is nothing else you can think of, like what you will be eating for lunch the night before, eating lunch and wondering what is for dinner, it's ok anyone that has been pregnant has been threw it. The thing not to do is to decide that being pregnant means you can eat what ever when ever and as much as you want. Just keep in mind however much you eat now is what you will be trying to get off after. You can eat what you want also keep in mind there is no way the baby wanted the entire bag of oreo's, maybe the pint of ice cream, but not after you ate the entire cake.
The thing I loved about being pregnant is all the shopping i got to do. Clothes, baby blankets, bottles and much more. There was one thing I hated shopping for was big maternity clothes. I have come to the conclusion that the person who develops maternity clothes must be men, they are looking at some way of making a joke at how women shop to much for jeans and want them to look like a macy's thanksgiving day float, so maybe they won't buy anything else. Well men think again there is nothing you throw at us that can stop us from shopping everywhere until that perfect pair of jeans emerges from all the other crap they call clothing. Just remember just because your pregnant doesn't mean your dead and can't dress like the fab person you are.
