I went to my new OB today for my first prenatal appointment. Things went very well. I am very impressed with her and already like her a lot.

I could not keep the news to myself for long. I had to tell my husband. He deserves to know and I want him to go to my appointments with me.

Explaining the process to children is easier than you think. Whoever came up with this statement never taught preschool while pregnant!

According to one of Sarah's pregnancy books, Babu is currently hopping around in the womb like a Mexican jumping bean. Which means that the kid is already a better dancer than either of his/her parents.

Eventually, Sarah promised to try and keep the secret. "It's only seven more weeks," she said. "I can do anything for seven weeks." Seven weeks? I did a quick calculation. "How pregnant are you?" Her pregnancy, she explained, actually began two weeks before my sperm came anywhere near her egg.

So our plan of not telling any friends and acquaintances until after the ultrasound is not going so great! My friend called me about 6 times last night trying to get a hold of me because she heard through the grapevine that I'm pregnant!

I am tired of being home with absolutely nothing to do. My boss has called me twice so far to see if I'll consider coming back to teach preschool, and I am so tempted. But I think that combination of fevers, germs, diarrhea that was so common for me when I worked there is just not going to be good during pregnancy.

What do the words, "I am pregnant" mean to a soon-to-be father? Men talk about their readiness for parenthood in terms of personal freedom. They are aware of the financial burdens and social restrictions that come with the role of father.
