Man & Pregnancy: 16 weeks

Oh My God,...I do not want to speak too soon or cast any sort of Jinx on anything,...but can I tell you a secret,...all seems to be well right now. We took a few days off, relaxed, played a little. My queen had no headaches, the nausea is completely gone, and belly continues to grow. Oh yes, wait a minute, I think the hex has already yielded some of its power, but only a small taste,...the Queen is not taking too well to her ever so slight increase in size, this is tough for any woman at any time. What I recommend here is that there is no ceiling on how much you tell your love how beautiful she is. More kisses and hugs may be necessary, but these should be rolling out copiously like the red carpet in front of the mother of your child anyway. Keeping mom happy is very important for baby development, so hug away.

Baby is about 4.5 inches long (12 cm) and weighs about 1/4 pound. It can now move its head around and make facial expressions. When I read Ticht Naht Han's 'True Love' book to belly I now know that baby is smiling contently!

The gifts from other parents also keep rolling in. Cribs, baby wash tubs, buzzy chairs, little organic clothes, bibs, chewy toys, little Einstein lay down development thingy, change table stuff, etc etc. Not sure yet why people say babies cost so much money. Have you ever looked on Craigslist.org under kids? word to the wise guys, if you really feel like you are spending too much money on baby stuff, from what I see so far, it is probably just baby fever ruling your purchases and you could change things.

Oh so much love, this is awesome.
