In my opinion every expecting mommy has, at one point or another during their pregnancy, felt unappreciated, unloved, undesirable. Ladies, whether you want to admit it or not, we are an emotional batch of women. It even happens when your guy goes the extra mile to make you happy. He can surprise you with flowers and a chocolate sundae. He can talk to the baby and give you foot massages. But at one point he's going to look at his phone a beat too long or you'll have to repeat yourself when telling him about how the baby just kicked or he'll be late from work and dinner will be cold. These things didn't bother you before. But now, now you're irritable. You're always in pain. Your back, your feet, your tummy. And when your not in pain the spawn growing in your belly is karate chopping your bladder. Who wouldn't be irritable, right.?! Just remember to take a deep breath before going off on him for those little things that annoy you now. Don't get mad at him if he didn't get you exactly what you were craving, even though you believe it's the only thing that can temporarily cure that deep, demon-like hunger. Give him a kiss and a hug and let him know you appreciate him. Keep in mind that if he doesn't seem all that invested in feeling the baby kick for longer than a few minutes, he's got other things on his mind. Don't get angry if he doesn't always want to talk about the baby. You constantly think about it, because you constantly feel the baby. But your man might have had a bad day at work. He doesn't have the privilege of feeling a growing human inside of him, pain and all. So ladies, be good to your men. You're gonna want to snap, because let's be real, some questions he has come with OBVIOUS answers. You know, haven't they read anything.?! Once he looks at that baby you've been growing, he'll appreciate you more than he'll ever be able to explain. You'll see the love in his eyes. And then....you'll get to look forward to late night diaper changes and a screaming baby. Just remember that you each are two halves of a whole human. And always kiss each other goodnight. Even if you only get to sleep for a couple hours.
@kellynicole, it always seems like I have an internal dialogue of some sort going on. Haha. I think that helps. @ashley525, thank you.!
@kellynicole, thank you. I enjoy writing. And when I get started, it's kind of hard to stop. Haha.

things I'd never thought I'd say...
"No, you can't call your uncle and tell him your baby sister doesn't have a penis"
Baby look, we all get depressed at some point and time. But for ALL of your post to be about your boyfriend not doing his part is annoying!
1) Why is he still your boyfriend?
2) If you feel he doesn't care you or y'all baby, WHY IS HE STILL YOUR BOYFRIEND!?
3) If y'all were having problems before baby, WHY IS HE STILL YOUR BOYFRIEND!?
All boyfriends, baby daddies, husbands, anyone you're in a relationship with will get on your LAST nerves. You'll want to choke them most of the time. But h...

Make your own breakfast!
At what age do you think a child should be making their own breakfast? I have a 10 year old and I think he is perfectly capable of making himself breakfast. It doesn't take rocket science to put some waffles into the toaster, or microwave some pancakes. My husband insists that he needs to have breakfast made for him because if we left it up to him he wouldn't eat enough and it would take him forever.
@jensensmom, thank you.! I'm glad you enjoyed it.!
