6 Months of Pregnancy Boredom


Well we’re just about at the 6-month mark… and all I can say is this pregnancy has been… well… less exciting than I might have thought. In fact, my wife might be one of the least interesting pregnant women ever (I mean that in the nicest way).

Morning sickness? Sure she felt less than stellar some days, but that’s about it. (I’m not complaining about this, but it didn’t give me much to write about).

Where are those crazy cravings? I was hoping Melissa, would suddenly want pickles and ice cream or peanut butter and sardines. No such luck. My mom said when she was pregnant with me she just had to eat a hot dog from Carl’s Jr. everyday. EVERYDAY! (Yes, they sold hot dogs back then.) The closest Melissa has come to any of that, was a craving for a Pumpkin Spice Latte (decaf of course). Boring!

Maternity clothes? We haven’t bought any of those yet. Melissa is six months pregnant and most people can’t even tell she’s pregnant. Nothing. Barely even a bump. Look at the picture below… does she look pregnant to you!?!?!?


Seriously, if I hadn't seen the ultrasound I wouldn't believe there's a baby in there.

Don’t get me wrong, we had the excitement of finding out we were pregnant. And I’ve never been more excited about an ultrasound. But where are those hilarious (and embarrassing) stories that we’ll hold over our child for years to come?

Luckily, we have three months left.

(I also want to add this. Melissa pulled off the best surprise birthday present ever! She coordinated a trip to Tampa to see the Bucs play, brought along my brother and dad, managed to pack my bag and get me days off at work… all without me knowing. It was the best birthday ever, and I just thought you should all know.)


30th Birthday in Tampa!

(Would have been even nicer if the Bucs showed up for the game. Oh well.)
