I am glad to hear someone else is feeling the same way! While my DH is
incredibly supportive pregnant or no, I am not getting the same interest in
his going to OB appoinments (other than the Sono) and such. He does still
rub my feet and back which I am greatful for.
As for the gifts and things, I am feeling bit down that no one has mentioned
a baby shower or blessing way or anything for this little one. I know we
are having another boy which I think makes people assume we have everything
we need. When in fact this one will be born in a totally different season,
and we don't have all the clothes and things. Not to mention we need
newborn cloth diapers since we didn't start CD'ing until my first DS was
about 3 months old (over 15lbs at that point). And our baby monitor broke a
few months ago, so there are lots of little things that we need. Not that I
expect anyone to buy us one darn thing, but to be asked would be nice. The
only person that seems even remotely interested in the day to day details of
this pregnancy is my grandma, but then she is always interested in my life
period.
Another thing that seems a bit annoying to me is that when I am out and
about by myself folks open doors for me and offer to carry things out, but
if I have DS with me its as if no one notices that I am 30 weeks pregnant
and might need a hand. I had to ask for help at the grocery the other day
and the guy acted like it was a burden on him! I mean what do we pay these
people for?
Ok well I am getting a bit irrational here I think, so I will end for now.
Like I said in the beginning it is nice to know I am not alone in my
feelings.
Blessings,
Nichol
