 Posted: 12/23/03 - 11:23 Post subject: Hormones galore!
Have I mentioned that I am getting anxious for my wife to have this baby?
She was baking christmas cookies with the kids last night and.  lets just say that she is a little on edge.
She is literally freaking out at nothing. Every day.
I understand...I don't cause fights...I help out as much as I can...I take a lot of abuse...Taking deep breathes and walking away.
Just wanted to share that with someone.

well yes, I'm much better now than I was the first time that's for sure.
oh man, I'm not sure whether I'm looking forward to being at home over the holidays, or if I'm gonna miss the safety of the workplace?

well, I can handle it...I understand.
It's the two older kids I feel sorry for.
They really seem to be mystified...Mom is freaking out, man.

You're doing great!
Try to get that woman off of her feet...even if it's a few minutes. Perhaps you can take the kids all out for a drive for an hour so she can get some "down" time. That might be all that she needs. A little breathing space helps (especially when it's hard to do in the first place with baby on board).

I'm sincerely impressed by your attitude. What a good guy you are.
I don't remember how old your oldest are; are you able to explain to them how pregnancy can make mom tired, uncomfortable, etc. so that she doesn't have the patience that she normally does?

I remember those days of freaking out. She really has no control over it, trust me. I would let her, somehow, have time to herself. Tell her to go out to the movies or something by herself. It requires a lot of sacrifice on your part, but I think it would do her loads of good.

Coach,
I'll give you the same advice my wife's OB/GYN gave me......."It took her nine months to find crazy, it'll take her another nine to lose it."
