3 Things Not to Say to Your Wife When She's 6 Months Pregnant

Not that anyone I know would ever say such a thing...

3. Hun, are you sure you want to finish that burrito? I didn't want to say anything, but I've noticed you've been gaining a little weight... your stomach is looking a little 'out there' lately.

2. "Beep, beep, beep..." as she waddles around the house.

1. "Babe, I think you're really gonna get big with this one. I mean, it seems like you were about this big when Belle was born. And you've got months to go...I bet you're really gonna look like your gonna pop." (He was dead serious...what could he possibly have been smoking, I ask you?!)

Poor men - they don't have a chance with these growing thighs and raging hormones. The other day we were walking by a store front and I caught a reflection of my profile in the glass. It took me by surprise, "Oh my!" I gasped. "I'm really getting curvy. Baby got back!" Aron agreed. Yes, indeed, he agreed with me wholeheartedly. Apparantly he didn't realize he was supposed to totally discredit my statement!

Aron does enjoy teasing me now and then, but in all seriousness, he has been incredibly supportive. He's gone the extra mile to help out with cleaning and work around the house and has insisted I rest when I feel compelled to work, work, work. And best of all, behind closed doors and all jokes aside, he is incredibly sweet complimenting me on my new curvy figure. I couldn't dream of a more amazing man to be pregnant with...if that makes any sense. Even his jokes at my expense give me a good laugh!

This journey of creation and new life is such a privilege. God knew just what he was doing when he gave male and female each other to love. And then, as if this wasn't enough, He designed life in such a way that the culmination of their love, their oneness and union together, would result in a crescendo of new life. A piece of man, a piece of woman, a breath of the Most High...fused together to create a sum greater than the parts. Nothing short of divine synergy.
