5 Things Mommy Needs

1. Mommy needs her sleep. If shes anything like my wife a 10 hour sleep hibernation just wont cut it. She sleeps from about 9:00pm- 8:30am. This is necessary for your well being as much as hers.

2. Mommy needs new clothes. Yes the time will come where she just can't fit into jeans that she once wore. Here is a great site to reccomend to her Maternity Jeans. This will show her you've been researching!

3. Mommy needs reassurance. She needs to know that you still look at her the same, even though she's gaining weight (usually only 5 lbs is actually fat). This will help in other areas as well ;-).

4. Mommy needs to know that you are going to be there no matter what problem arises. I don't care what game xbox releases. Mommy and baby are #1.

5. Mommy needs nutrients. She should already have been taking a prenatal vitamin. She needs healthy snacks that are easy to take on the go. Fruits (strawberrys, raspberries, apples, oranges, etc...), Crackers (wheat thins, saltines etc...), healthy home cooked meals, and less fast food. She needs to put on healthy weight. Make her lunch for her filled with healthy snacks, a "main course", a goodie or two, and a love note :).

These are 5 things that were at the forefront of my mind while writing this. She needs a lot more than this. But, these are a great place to start. A key thing is to listen to her. Then you will be able to tailer your actions to her specific needs. Though if you master these 5 things then im sure your life/ relationship will be headed down the right path.

  1. The best thing you can do for Mommy...get her whatever she needs right away, especially if its food. When you are really hungry and pregnant, you feel absolutely ravenous and sometimes crazy. Backrubs are nice too. Especially as the belly stretches its good to rub it with cremes to prevent stretch marks. You sound like an awesome hubby, and you'll make a fabulous daddy!
