First the advantages, there is more room in the bed. Now most people would think that with the gradual gain of girth during pregnancy, you would lose real estate in bed. Not in our house. JJ and Dusty have been kind enough to allow us in their bed for the past 2 years but they have gotten tired of being disturbed when Toni needs to use the restroom. I’m sure Toni looks as this as a partial advantage as she is the person taking one for the team getting up all night. She does appreciate more space though.
Second, we were at Buy Buy Baby recently and found out that they have handicapped parking and reserved parking for expecting moms.
Can you say, “I must be in the front row.” I have been good about the reserved parking for the handicapped, clergy, employee of the month, compact cars, and even Bears’ fans (boo) but I finally have one I get to use. Sweet.Third, there are of course many cravings to be had while pregnant. Toni has been craving burgers, ice cream, and lemon ice. I have been taking one for the team in this category. I have been taking her to get these items (in moderation of course) and have had to “suffer” by having them myself. I hope I need to suffer through chicken wings, pizza and maybe Mexican food next.
Fourth, I am planning on taking Nemo running and biking with me when he is strong enough. Cool toys!! Can’t say much more about that.
Now the disadvantages,
Many of you had requested a belly shot but it was not quite clear who the belly shot was supposed to be of, so…
Chief

Too funny. ;0) Glad that you are taking one for the team, Chief. So many times the father is forgotten and all the attention is on the mother and the baby. Kudos to you! You will make an awesome daddy!
Love,
Missy, Mike, Andrew and Emily

Todd and Toni So glad you are enjoying your parts in this baby.nemo is going to be glad you are his or her parents Isn't this fun ,watching waiting preparing for the arrival. Love mom
Chief has been a good sport! He wont admit it but I am sure there are some disadvantages like hormonal crying,listening to me talk about puffy feet, and he gets the famous questions of "Which (fill in the blank) do you like better?" and "Do I look big or do you think I look like I gained ALOT of weight?"
Lately he has been putting up with my de-cluttering efforts which means he will be losing some dresser space for Nemo's things.
I am a lucky girl to have this guy as my husband! Thanks Chief for being the nice guy that you are.
