Are You Ready to be a Dad?

thank you, very very scary (not quite the right word) . . maybe lifestyle altering. one morning you wake up and everything has to change. having a baby is very inopposite of our lifestyle.

at this time i have so many questions but its just too dizzying right now to concentrate on specifics. needless to say, ive been dealing with a crying, no strike that, a sobbing woman for the past couple days. anything i say to her is the wrong thing to say. im really good at zoing her out but shes really good on picking up on it and asking me to repeat what she just said.

i have a ton of questions to ask on how you deal with your irrational pregnant woman. i never thought it could be this bad this early.

SS- i guess 9 months from mid july. we havent been to see a doctor yet but she is getting her health access number on tuesday which will allow us to go see a doctor and i guess they will tell us then?

honestly, it soo early on and with her not-so-great health, im real worried things arent going to work out the first time. ive tried telling her about a friend of mine who had to try 3 times before a pregnancy/embryo actually took but she doesnt want to hear that. im just caught in a catch 22. i want to prepare her for the potential of an ecoptic pregnancy so that she wont be totally devastated if it doesnt work out but she is so moody right now i dont want to fill her head with future, yet to happen negative outcomes. on the day she took the HPT she had very slight spotting, which occurs in 30% of pregnancies and could just be a sign that the embryo is implanting .... (or it could be a sign her uterus tissue isnt the healthiest - thats my made up unspoken concern)

she is really blaming herself right now, she doesnt think she is healthy enough to have the baby . . its brutal right now. just brutal. on top of her going cold turkey like a champion. real proud of her for that.
