I agree with the keeping busy part. That and just be there for her when she needs it, that way you are always the good guy even if she doesn't realize it- I know I can be a horribly mean and grouchy girlfriend (and I'm not pregnant) but secretly, deep down inside, I appreciate my boyfriend for putting up with me. Even though I will never admit that to him!
I take in orphans! Email me at aprilshernandez@yahoo.com, any species.
Senior in Biology at UTSA, finally! Time for grad school.
Buy some massage oil and rub her feet and hands. She needs it and it will relax her--hence helping you out. Either she will be in a better mood ....or asleep. Either way....you have it made for an hour or two. LOL
The moment his HEAD is in view, hit it with the LIVE ROCK!

My hubby was awesome when I was pregnant with my kids. I don't think I had mood swings, but he may tell you differently!![]()
Anyway, here is what you need for your trip to the hospital (she will absolutely adore that you thought to get together all of this ahead of time--trust me.)
1. fuzzy socks--preferably some with rubber thingies on the bottom for traction
2. tennis ball (great for massages)
3. bottle of wine (for celebrating after baby)--Future hint: get another bottle of wine to celebrate being done with diapers. You'll know what I mean...
4. popscicles
5. Mr. Happy massager (wooden)
6. gummi bears--cause they're fun
7. lotion
8. soft robe
9. lengerie type gown to make her feel pretty
10. relaxing cds--and any other cds she might like
11. books on tape (remember this delivery takes HOURS!)
12. A couple of soft nursing gowns
13. hot pad/heated blanket
14. Maybe some dvds if the room has a player
15. Deck of Cards
In the meantime, try to do something romantic (it doesn't need to be huge) at least once or twice a week.
1. Make candlelight dinner
2. Draw a bath with candles around it
3. Give her a massage (either yourself or send her to a place that does prenatal massage)--light a scented candle.
4. Go for a walk together
5. Have a board game night--heck, make it strip Monopoly! Paying rent just got interesting!! hehe
6. wash/brush her hair
Now when you use candles make the scents LIGHT!! You don't want her running to the bathroom and cussing you out for making her sick.![]()
