As some of you know, my wife and I are expecting a baby. She isn't too far along yet but has already experienced some of the more enjoyable symptoms. First and foremost of these of course being the infamous "Morning Sickness" that doesn't necessarily strike in the morning. I feel that I have done a great job being patient with the mood swings and the cravings and what-have-you, but I decided to share on occasion an experience or two so that those who have not been pregnant or been married to a pregnant woman, or those even who are can understand that these things are normal and are to be expected.
I usually sleep fairly well at night, even though I do wake up for brief periods of time three or four times a night. On days when I haven't done much I tend to lie down a little later and on my days off maybe once a week I will take half a dose of a sleeping pill just to help me not wake up so much at night. The point here is that I take my sleep sacred.
I would say that for me, the most important time of day are the last two hours of my sleep, regardless of when I am getting up. If I don't sleep well during those two hours, I don't feel great getting up or during most of the day. I sometimes think that my wife, bless her soul, must know that and be determined to make me as uncomfortable, the poor thing, as she is.
For the last TWO hours of my precious sleep time I did very little actual sleeping. I am used to the moans and groans and rolling around to find a comfortable position but today it was different. I was pushed, and prodded and yelled at to "move over" and had blankets taken away and blankets piled on. Like I said, I feel that I have been fairly patient but I confess that when I actually got out of bed and woke up I wasn't to thrilled with my wife. I still love her, and am not writing this to talk bad about her or criticize her in any way. I merely write this to show any who choose to read a humorous insight into the life of a man married to a pregnant woman.

Thanks for the support Noodles
That's hilarious. Jesse gets pissed at me for messing up the blankets at night. I always wake up tangled up in them and he has none. Honestly, sleeping when you're pregnant becomes more and more difficult because it's harder to breathe, or find a comfortable postion, not to mention all the times you have to get up to pee, so just wait because it only gets worse from here.
Oh yea I meant to tell you I like your picture too. I used to get home from work and lay on the couch and watch my stomach roll like ocean waves. It was creepy and disgusting. uh,... I mean a beautiful miracle.
Yeah, I was looking on the internet for the perfect one. I had to go with that one. It screams uncomfortable. I wouldn't want some tiny thing sticking its foot through my body.
Marriage is series of adventures for sure.
Believe me. You will never experience NOTHING like you feel when you see your baby for the first time.
As the years pass, speaking from 14 years of marriage, even the bad times become funny stories at some point.
Patience.
