Pregnant women;pregnancy makes you scary.

You terrify me as a species, the fact you deal with all the stuff the pregnancy throws at you and still continue to have children baffles me.Dee's oversensitive nipples and veiny boobs would be enough to send me running to bed for the day, to say nothing of the ... well you know the rest of them.
By and large I find pregnant women sexy, not sure why, could be the "they had sex" hangup from early adolescence, but is most likely cos of Demi Moore.My hat is off to the lot of you.If men were the one to have babies they would be grown in a lab, or a flower pot, because no man would do it a second time.

The first post is really a memory jogger for a ways down the line.I want to try and put my feelings and emotions into words if I can, use this as an outlet to see how I am feeling about the arrival, next April, of bean.

I am;

Thrilled
Scared shitless
Overprotective
Smiling a hell of a lot
Ringing Dee far too often to check on her
Being too nice to her, making her tea and such.
Horny as a motherfucker

I do not know how people survive a 9 month pregnancy, my nerves are shredded and I am in week 7 , and in week 2 of knowing.Every burp, cough or even shift on the couch has me asking her if she is ok.I am waking 6 or 7 times a night to check on her.I am not sleeping and as I have said I won't drink beer at home until bean is born I am staying frighteningly sober.Tired and sober is not a good look for me I have to say, and by April I will look like Christian Bale in "the machinist"
THE "M " WORD
Miscarriage terrifies the shit out of me, I don't know if I could cope with it , I don't know if Dee could cope, and if I am being honest , I don't know if our relationship could cope with it.
THE OTHER "M" WORD
We are broke, have been for a while, there will be no new money coming in, Dee will be out of work , and then there is the cost of child-minders.This child will be on the breast until free milk in primary school (note to self, check to see if they still give out free milk).I am considering working Saturdays to free up a weekday but keep wages the same, I am considering a second job, hell I am considering selling my damn liver, now the booze has drained out of it.
This is a scary ass time, and I do not know how kids in a new relationship, or girls not in a relationship ,work up the courage to tell their parents.My parents and my in-laws are all going to be thrilled to bits and I am still nervous about telling them.

So , last Wednesday I discovered I was going to be a father for the first time.It has been a long road, and my wife has been great and it was through acupuncture and Chinese herbs that it finally happened.
We had to go out as normal with friends that night and not telling anyone was torture, I ended up telling the taxi driver on the way home just to say it out loud!Dee told two friends Saturday night because they were trying to get her to drink at a work do
On Sunday I went out to work for a bit and on the way home got a call from Dee saying she was bleeding after some frantic calls we went to the hospital, everyone was great and both Dee and the baby were fine.We told two very good friends that night.De had her first early scan on Tuesday and saw a fluttering light that was the heartbeat!!!!!
This weekend we tell our parents.
