OT - Help Ladies Please
Let's see, to paraphrase:
1) Do all the chores.
2) Make sure you take extra special care of her stuff.
3) Remember she is ALWAYS right and her needs supercede everyone elses'.
4) Tell her what she wants to hear, even though there's a 50% chance she will call you a liar and go into mood swing mania.
5) Remind yourself that it is no longer your house/apartment - it now is strictly the domain of your wife and child to be.
6) Be there for her physical needs, even when she doesn't want you to be! "Get away, you're responsible for THIS!"
7) Develop your psychic abilities to anticipate her every need, whenever it may arise. Prepare yourself for the inevitability of following her list right down to the last letter and still getting it wrong. Remind yourself of item #3 in this list and apologise immediately for misunderstanding her list.
YUP! That's why I'm glad I "play for the other team"!
Oh yeah! Congratulations Dave! Enjoy the next 9 months, followed by the next 18 years!

MY RNY DIDN'T FAIL ME - I FAILED IT.
Erica,
Your answer had me laughing my butt off at work. Good thing I am alone or the others might have thought I had finally lost it.
Your ending was great.."This should help." The "but not neccessarily" was subtley implied.
So Dave as others have stated, Duck and hang on for the ride. And remember her request for odd / out of season food items in the middle of the night are not unreasonable to her, no matter what the weather is like or if there is a store open in a 100 km radius to purchase the item...
And congratulations on your upcoming addition.

Sorry Dave no suggestions but wanted to say congratulations and it was great meeting you last night.
Sometimes you just put one foot in front of the other, even if you don't know where you're going.

Erica you are so funny, don't know how possible all that would be, but very very funny.
Dave that you have come on here and asked for help could win you brownie points. I'm one of the women that denies they were ever moody when pregnant, lol
Patience and support, let her vent and grumble and be there for her. Don't take it personal and reassure her of your love.
All the best.

i'm sorry, Dave. Wish i could help. When i look back at my pregnancy mood swings, i realize how irrational i was, but there's nothing you can do or say that is right, sometimes. I get that NOW, but then? no way. If you had told me i was irrational, i would have cried for days. I would cry at commercials, at stupid sit coms. Or i'd have hit you in the head with a frying pan. HArd to say what'll happen.
Be really nice to her. Buy her flowers. Reassure her that she looks beautiful, and a "thank you" now and then, for carrying your baby, wouldnt hurt.
RIde it out. It'll get better.
