So by now we have had a few doctors visits but nothing with a big huge machine that you usually see in the movies where they print out the pictures of the baby. When my wife first found out that she was pregnant that same day she said she had some spotting, which is obliviously not a good sign.  Off to the ER we went, they said she was too early to tell and that it was most likely implantation still happening. We got scheduled with one of the top OBs in Las Vegas where she confirmed that we were only about two weeks and that was what the spotting was from.

Over the next few weeks she had my wife come in to make sure everything was going okay which it has been. Since the OB only had a small little portable ultrasound machine all we could see was the baby on a screen about the size of an iphone plus maybe a little smaller. We now had our first legit ultrasound where we got to actually see a little demon face on the baby lol see.They moved our due date up from the 27th of September to the 18th. It didn’t seem like much of a difference but it that moved it up by almost two more weeks.

We waited to tell family until we were out of the first trimester already, that’s just a personal choice but seriously you can tell people whenever. Everyone likes to hear about baby news just don’t over do it, no one wants to be around one of those that go on and on about hearing about a new baby coming because then they start getting worried how annoying you’ll be when the baby actually does come and they won’t be able to get away from every little detail about your kid. Which if people really want to know they will ask.

We are now in full blown second trimester at 22 weeks. For real, all I’ve been thinking is, fuckkkkk. There was brief moments of panic on how I was possibly going to afford to have a kid but have now come to terms that I may not be able to provide everything that the kid wants but I will try my hardest to give it the best life possible. We haven’t found out what we are having yet either, we’re one of those that are going to wait until the birth and make it a little more exciting plus it’ll help if we don’t know so we don’t over spend on crap that we don’t need. No baby will need full blown outfits in the first 3 months of birth and I think if I find out what we are having there will go all my money on outfits that the kid will wear once or twice and never fit in it again. Because trust me there are some awesome Star Wars baby clothes that I wouldn’t mind paying a good chunk of money on lol.

I’ve been trying to update this at least once a week, but seriously there is nothing for the non pregnant person to be doing still. Make sure you get everything for the person that is pregnant. Make their life as comfortable as possible. They left something downstairs, go down and get it for them. All I picture is my wife falling down because she is sleepy and I was to lazy to go down for her and then the baby dies. That’s one thing you’ll notice, those kind of thoughts that you didn’t think twice about you now will. It’ll be a constant worry to make sure the person that is pregnant doesn’t hurt themselves in any way shape or form. So for now just make their life simple do as much as possible for them and don’t get lazy. Have fun for now!

What ever way you were told, she surprised you. Whether it be some bottle put in the fridge with her watching and hoping you would see it, or called you at work on your longest day possible bright and early in the morning. Try focusing on anything with that type of phone call, yeah nothing could of gotten to me at that point. I had to go the whole day working my bank job with a big smile on my face and couldn’t tell anyone, even though they were yelling at me for overdraft fees on their account. The thought that stuck me the most though was. Same look and everything. I couldn’t believe that my little swimmers actually stuck. We weren’t really trying for anything but we weren’t really stopping from something happening.

I immediately took to the internet; What should I do? What can I do to help? What should I get prepared for? You know what I found. NOTHING. Not one single thing that I as a future dad should do right now. I as the husband to my wife how , what, can I do to help. It’s finally getting to me though, there is nothing I as the future dad need to do right now. What I can do though is support the wife. If she wants prenatal vitamins you get her prenatal vitamins. If she wants you to not eat certain foods around her because they make her throw up, make her go to the other room. There are limits ladies. You can eat less of the foods that make her throw up though. So for right now there is not much to expand on , right now there is just time to focus on her and make sure she gets through these first few weeks without any accidents. Like my wife who tried to get up on a lifted jeep and fell, yes fell. Don’t fall from lifted jeep ladies.

Have fun, and Congrats !
