I'm feeling like I didn't make my husband do enough weird stuff when I was pregnant oh so many years ago. I missed my chance.

Well, depending on her due date, perhaps she wants this work out of the way before she has a newborn to deal with as Christmas looms?

My family started in a new tradition this year. We put up the Christmas tree before Halloween and decorated for Halloween, orange lights and scary ornaments. Then we can just leave it all the way up through the beginning of January.

My only craving was for Thai food so I went to the same restaurant every work day for lunch. By the 3rd week they had my meal ready for me :)

The cravings are real. A good friend of mine told a story about his wife's pregnancy. One Saturday, his wife made a cherry pie after lunch. He spent the afternoon thinking about how good that pie was going to be after dinner. They had dinner. But the cherry pie did not appear. When he questioned his wife, she admitted that she had eaten the entire pie.

Atta boy, nice tree!

Edit: 'Atta boy' is what we would say on my team for doing a good job. Nice tree.

Double edit: hmm might not have aged well. Loud thinking.

Can confirm. Daughter was born mid-October. She saw the Christmas tree when she came home from hospital a few days later.

Same with my wife. She never had any weird cravings and I was disappointed I didn’t have to get up in the middle of the night to buy some weird shit to eat or something.

My wife’s only craving was for a ham sub from a local sub shop. She heated the ham when she got it home because of the no cold cuts while pregnant thing ate it and then puked a few hours later. After the second time I told her no more ham subs until the kids are born.

When you're pregnant, especially very pregnant, you are basically operating out of your unconscious 80% of the time. Do not expect a pregnant woman to be 100% rational. Having a baby is really hard work for two people, which is why fewer people are doing it. My hat is permanently off to those parents who cope with it on their own.

So did you end up abandoning your big city movie career and settle down with the home town hunk on the filming location? Develop a love of baking while wearing festive knitwear?

Dunno why you were downvoted, a LOT of shit in your body changes during that period of pregnancy. Everything is a bit haywire, and it’s something the husband (or other partner) should come to terms with before they try for a baby (if it’s planned)

Hell, my mother became deathly allergic to some foods after pregnancy, eating some whacky foods and wanting the Christmas tree up is very mild

And when your very pregnant and hormonal wife wants to watch HIMYM for the Umpteenth time, that's what you watch.

I would feel sorry for you, but in a couple of years it'll be baby shark on repeat - I'll save my pity for then.

We went to a concert (when she wasn’t pregnant) and drank her face off. We are walking back to our car, pukes on the sidewalk outside the venue, stands up and declares her improved feeling and keeps walking like nothing really happened.

So yes?

Also, I’m sure she’d love me posting all her puking stories on the internet
