He's Pregnant (Oct 5 edition)

Four weeks ago my life changed. My plans to move abroad and travel the world vanished. My world as I knew it ended. Devastation came in the form of four words: “I think I’m pregnant.”
As my wife explained the changes she was feeling in her body, I refused to jump to such rash conclusions.
“You’re just tired because you’ve been working so much,” I said.
“The reason you threw up while cleaning the kitchen is because of the salmon I left at the back of the fridge,” I explained.
“You’re breasts are just sore because, well, who knows?”
It was all just a coincidence. This couldn’t happen to us. We’ve got plans, things to do and a baby just does not work right now.
So we decided to use the ultimate test; a pregnancy test. Three of them actually. After three clear positives I was still a bit unsure. After all, we use protection and protection always works, right?
“OK,” I decided. “The doctor will be able to tell us the truth.”
And he did, and we were. It’s true; I’m having a baby. Well, my wife is having one, but it’s definitely mine too.
To be honest, after plenty of time to think, panic and consider moving to Siberia, I could not be more excited.
With the second trimester just around the corner there’s a lot of learning to be done, including how to change a diaper and that complex language known as baby-talk. But only four weeks after finding out, I’ve realized I know a lot more than I thought and expecting a baby is more wonderful than I ever could have imagined.
To know that there’s a life growing inside of my wife, and that in six months we’ll go from being a couple to a family of three is completely surreal.
At this stage I think it’s more important to learn what my wife is going through and what exactly is going to happen in her body over the next six months. A pregnant woman is quite an interesting thing. She sleeps more than a squirrel in winter and is actually hoping her stomach is getting bigger.
As for the more undesirable aspects of pregnancy, she’s been quite fortunate, which makes my life a lot easier too. She’s had no morning sickness and hasn’t gained any extra weight. While problems may still arise with most of the term still remaining, it’s been smooth so far. The important thing is that we’ve embraced this surprise and are ecstatic that it’s part of our future.
In the meantime I have to find out what exactly goes on in the delivery room and graduate from college. I need more than nine months.
