Advice to a newly married husband with a pregnant wife!

1) If she acts irrational, run and get her food quick or just run away....

2) Don't breathe around your wife. She vomits so easily anyway. Solution: learn sign language, grunt, hold your breathe, or shout from a distance.

3) Even though you pride yourself in being observant and decent at communicating, don't tell your wife everyday how much bigger she is getting.

4) Know her eating habits are highly unpredictable and violent. So don't get in her way or be offended if she doesn't eat what you cook and runs out of the house because it stinks to her.

5) Take deep breathes away from your wife.... and repeat 5x or more "Its gonna be Okay"

6) Start fasting and praying....

7) Get a 2nd job....just trust me...

8) Start getting up earlier.... sleep will be irrelevant in the days to come...

9) Now when she sits you down and prefaces a discussion with "I need to tell you something".... don't run...keeping breathing away from her, and know pregnancy has made her acutely aware of her surroundings and sometimes mistakes you made...again.

10) Practice with me...."Yes, (insert name). I am sorry. Please forgive me. I did not mean to leave the bathroom door open".....

Oh, Chris. I might add not to vent about your pregnant wife on your blog! (Says the completely irrational, highly irritable, thinks all men stink, pregnant woman....) That said, some of the advice is pretty good...especially the one about not being offended by food cravings and just being helpful when food is needed.
