All we have to do is think them. I'm pretty sure that even though I'm at work 60 miles away from my fiance, that the simple act of reading this blog has somehow been sensed by her.<BR/><BR/>Also, a word to the wise. If you're pregnant woman is eating anything. Join in or leave the room. She'll likely take your not eating in her presents as a silent demonstrative comment on how much she is eating at the moment. No words are necessary. Just leave her to her jug of peanutbutter, gallon of pasta, or boatload of icecream. And whatever you do, don't think for a second that she's getting fat. If you do, she'll use the force to stangle you from the other side of the house.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1433557971157738193.post-36880071710350425752007-08-05T12:24:00.000-07:002007-08-05T12:24:00.000-07:00I'd add one (just read your question on Yahoo about what I gave up to be a dad). The word "No."<BR/>Give that one up for about 15 months after you find out about the pregnancy, and instead of using it, gently steer the conversations about reasons why not. The padding and extra verbiage helps soften the blow a bit.ken3http://www.blogger.com/profile/10676259870901674304noreply@blogger.com
