What The Husband is learning:
1) The Wife does NOT find it amusing when you shout, "Heave ho!" as you help her up.
2) It's probably not wise to make the first words said to her when returning from a two day conference, "WOW! You got even bigger!"
3) Food is now the most important thing to The Wife -- The Husband should keep her very well fed in order to avoid any "accidents" or lost fingers. NEVER try to take food away from her, or say something like, "Honey, do you really need that tenth Butterfinger?" She does.
4) The Wife will laugh when you say, "Group hug!" when it's just the two... er, three... of you.
What The Wife is learning:
1) Pregnancy makes you REALLY stupid. The sheer volume of Catie Moments has increased exponentially since week 6 or so.
2) The Husband does not find it nearly as interesting as I do that the baby has hiccups (...again...) at 3 am. He will glare through one bleary eye before rolling back over, and then mutter under his breath for ten minutes.
3) The Baby can (and will) express his displeasure very clearly -- I can no longer sleep on my back or right side; the organ at church is NOT appreciated by all of us; and if you poke The Baby, he will poke back.... a lot. Especially after a contraction.
4) As I get bigger and grumpier, The Husband gets sweeter and more accomodating. Kinda glad I picked him out. :)
Last line makes me go "awww, so sweet!"!
