Pregnant Partner

[TinkerChelle]

Yes! We are expecting. We are due July 15th. Life is crazy and amazing right now.
We never thought Amy would be the one carrying the baby but she got pregnant on her first try. Anyway, sorry I have been MIA lately....but like I said life has been nutty. My normally strong shouldered caring wife is a bunch of hormones. Didn't she get the memo? I'm the emotional one! Now we need to find maternity clothes for her and she refuses to wear women's clothing.... It is kind of amusing seeing her go off to work all pregnant and showing in her steel toed leather work boots. What a site!
We are already starting to plan the little baby's first WDW trip...it might be March 2010 or November 2010. Hey we know what the sex of the baby is because we decided to have an amnio when her quad screen came back positive which meant the baby was at higher risk of maybe having down's syndrome. Thankfully the amnio came back negative for down's and also told us the sex of the baby....we had to find out-I don't like surprises!
As for me I am working 55 to 60 hours a week right now....no I am not complaining I know how lucky we are right now but I am a little tired.
That's whats new with me....what's up with all my dis friends....that I blew off for months....sorry!

This is super cool news! Congrats to both of you.

So, the little one, is it a boy? There is a blue blanket in the cradle in the countdown, so I am thinking that it's a hint. Is it?

I will forgive your absence because you have returned with such awesome news. Don't let it happen again.

Being a mommy is THE best thing in the world...how special for this little one to have 2!!!!


I guess you will be the one wearing the silly bow hat at the shower? Although I think it would be hysterical if your DP wore it with her steel toes boots!!!!!!!!


Glad that your scare was jsut that a scare. I have been there, done that and now have an angel above.

Hey you two! Congratulations! :yes:

Get some big old shirts and call it good. If the pants get too tight, unzip them and tuck the top back. The big old shirt'll cover it.

Can't wait to hear the updates!

Congratulations! Pics of the maternity clothing find may be necessary!

Well, we are already doing this at 21 weeks. She only has one pair of jeans that fit her. She is a first responder for the gas company and they have a strict dress code for safety reasons. She can only wear jeans and regulation t-shirts. The t-shirts are no problem we are just getting big ones but the jeans are difficult. She is a shorty....try finding petite length men's jumbo sized jeans! For now I do a load of laundry every night--she gets very dirty working outside a lot. Anyway, soon I'll be looking at one load of laundry a night as a dream scenario.

Great news!

Thank you all for the warm responses and good wishes. After trying to get preggers myself for years and going through the process of finding out that I couldn't get preggers...well it SUCKED to put it mildly. Anyway, we had discussed the fact that she never physically wanted to be pregnant. I knew this before we got married. Well, she changed her mind after finding out that it was not going to happen for me.
My DP is funny..know where she told me she had decided to try to get pregnant? Blockbuster! Who does that?
The pregnancy so far has been fun, challenging, and an emotional roller coaster.

Baby shower games are the worst and I guess the best-depending on how you are looking at it. At my SIL's baby shower they melted chocolate candy bars into disposable diapers and you had to smell them to try to guess which candy bars they were. You can imagine how enticingly fun that was!

Great news!

Wally....your signature scared me!
