I feel compelled to tell about this clever Mcgyver-ish take on maternity jeans. I have yet to ask where she got this idea from or if she is just that good. My wife ordered some maternity jeans of the internet and could not wait for them to get here. She took a simple elastic hair tie ( the circle ones) pinched one end, fed it through the button hole on her jeans, then wrapped it around the button. Ta da! easy maternity jeans. Just make sure your shirt covers the unzipped zipper :).

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.
