I honestly don't think Mark has a smidgen of a clue what women go through during pregnancy! Poor guy, but COME ON! Let me start out by saying that he has been the greatest hubby during this whole thing and so supportive and loving. But sometimes, like tonight, I just wanna SLAP him (with love of course!?!)! I just wish he would SEE that dirty dish he left on the counter for two days! Doesn't he noticed that huge ball of hair on the floor that he just walked over!? You want me to do a load of laundry RIGHT NOW? At this hour? Are you seriously complaining about this small list of things I want you to get done by the weekend!? I JUST mopped the floor and your wearing your work boots in here!? We are having a baby any day now! I need HELP!
I was looking for something tonight and he was helping me look. Since I can't bend over to look under the bed, etc. After looking all over the bedroom he finally snapped at me and then I started crying of course! Then the tears wouldn't stop and they just came even harder! "This is SO HARD!" I wailed! He just kept telling me in a calm voice to "Relax! Think about things that make you happy!" "NOTHING makes me happy!" I kept wailing! As he stroked my arm and looked at me like I was having a mental breakdown (once again), I realized that maybe he doesn't have a clue, but how could he! How could any man understand these surges of hormones that come when we least expect them and take over our fat, bloated, stretched out bodies!? Poor Mark! I must be such a pain to be around lately! But I simply CAN NOT help it! This IS SO HARD! No one can prepare you for what you feel during these last weeks. And no one can prepare a husband to know how to deal with a pregnant wife! So I think we are doing the best we can! We may have our moments when we want to rip each other's hair out, but then we realize that this is just a hard time and I am not myself, and soon, VERY SOON we will have our little baby girl in our arms and it will all be worth it!
Oh my dear, I wish I could make it all better for you. You are right it will all be worth it soon. Less than 2 wks matter of fact. Hang in there!
