pregnancy

Dollar stores have been trending for a while now and we have several in the Northland.  I am NOT dissing on them.  I shop them too, but for specific things.  Some of the things that I find at the local dollar store has me SMH.

People keep coming up with new ideas and ways to do the big "gender reveal" of their baby.  Well this couple had some help from county star Brad Paisley.  They told Brad onstage that they already have two girls, so there was a lot on the line!

Announcing your pregnancy to family and friends is such an exciting time.  A lot of people come up with a cute way to do it.  This couple went old school and did a "Fresh Prince of Bel Air" rap.  It's actually pretty good!

This is video is so much better than the way Montell Williams does this sort of thing.  This Minnesota couple has a tradition of taking their picture in photo booths, only this time she had a very cool surprise in store.

I've had a lot of people ask, "Is the baby here yet?"  Nope, not yet.   My wife's due date was October 26th.  She was convinced she was going to have the baby earlier than that, so it's pretty shocking that we are at over 40 weeks and still no bundle of joy.

I've kept track of my wife's pregnancy from the beginning right her on my blog, and now we are nearing the end.   At any minute, I could get the phone call that labor has begun.   I've ran through everything in my head of what could happen.   How it's going to go down.   Here are 10 things I'm unrealistically convinced could happen.

A few months ago I blogged about what my wife and I experienced during the 1st trimester.  I went from a guy's point of view.  Well, now we've past the second trimester and I've got some more things that you can expect, guys.  They say every pregnancy is different, but talking with friends, these seem to happen to everyone.

Today my wife and I had our 20 week ultra sound and we were able to see the first images of a developing fetus.  Considering the last time we saw the baby it was the size of a bean, it's hard to believe how far it's come in just a few short months.

Last night I felt the baby move for the first time sitting on the couch next to my wife.  Of course, I had to have my hand on her stomach and wait forever for a little movement, but it was still there.  Huggies came up with a way for dad's to share the sensation that their pregnant wives were feeling in real time.

My wife and I are expecting another child and we are getting to the point where we need to decide whether or not we want to know if its a boy or girl.    Everyone seems to have an opinion and the most commonly asked question is, "Are you going to find out?"  Tough part is, my wife is deferring to me on this, and says the choice is all mine.  What do I do?

Yesterday my wife and I went and met our obstetrician for the first time, and got to hear the heartbeat.  It didn't sound like anything I thought it would!

My wife and I broke the news yesterday that we are expecting a baby due in late October.  Because the first trimester is over and the risk of miscarriage greatly reduces, we decided it was time to share the exciting news.  However, it's been tough keeping it a secret.  There's also some other tough parts those first three months, like dealing with hormones. 1.  Your wife may not be the same person
