19 Weeks - and welcome my guest blogger!

And tonight's special guest blogger is Rob.... Rob come-on down and take the keyboard and play our favorite game...... what is new with your expecting wife?

First thing is first... I am doing very well thank you for asking. What I have noticed the most, walking into rooms behind my pregnant wife, is nobody, I mean nobody ever asks me how I am feeling.... so for the record I am feeling happy and a bit tired, but mostly happy... thank you for asking. Now on to Terri, well we will talk about her some later. Back to me... have you ever noticed that pregnant women have massive cravings? I am seriously wondering if my wife is going to give birth to a quart of Eddy's Mint chocolate chip? And when she runs out of her ice cream she thinks nothing of eating mine. That makes me sad... bad wife... Okay now on to the questions.

How far along? 19 weeks

Total weight gain/loss: barely a pound, she looks perfect, especially from behind.

Pregnancy Symptoms: ummm has baby in uterus... just saying that is clearly a symptom.

Maternity clothes? I spare no expense for my wife, I have taken down the curtains and begun to tailor them into a mumu... because if you saw her the last few weeks of her first preganancy you would know I am just planning ahead.

Stretch marks? None that I have seen... and I peak when she isn't looking. But then again I am easily distracted, damm those things are big.

Sleep: I sleep just fine so how the heck would I know... seriously, when my wife is pregnant she is CRAZY when she sleeps. She has attacked me, digging her newly sharpened nails/claws into the back of my head, for reason unknown to this author. But that was last pregnancy. So far this time, we have a lot of talking and babbling nonsense in the middle of the night. I am still waiting for it to get weird again. But in truth she doesn't sleep nearly as much this pregnancy. Of course, she slept 8 of the 9 months lst time.

Best moment this week: When the Pats won Sunday. As for Terri her best moment happens every morning waking up realizing she married so well... oh and I guess when Maddux said I blahlablh you mommy. In Maddux talk that means I love you mommy.

Movement: Nope she stays on the couch... but the babys seems to be kicking like crazy.

Food cravings: I have bought stock in Eddys; Haagen Daz and Ben and Jerry's and I am cleaning up.

Gender: I am a man dammit. These are just silly questions. Ohhh and I think the baby she is carrying is a boy.

Belly Button in or out? Lets be honest when I get to look at her without her shirt... I definitely don't notice the belly button. Dang those things are big. Again I get easily distracted.

What I miss: My wife sans mood swings... for the record I think those pregnant hormones might just be the cause.

What I am looking forward to: the world series... sorry just one of these questions has to be about me.

Milestones: My wife can still cook raw meats so far so good. This is great news, as I still light a candle for turkey meatloaf past.

Any other comments: Well I am guessing this will be my first and last post... just saying I doubt my wife will think this was a good idea, but hey you never know. But don't worry, when she isn't looking, I might just sneak back on.

update... I could be invited back after reading this. I think she pee'd her pants laughing... and yes I mean that literally and it wouldn't be the first time
