Enjoy the 2nd Trimester when it arrives...

1st Trimester her body is adapting to the new life within, complete with morning (or should that be '23 1/2 hour')
sickness, hormonal overload & mood swings, etc. -- at the same time, reality is setting in for you, and you'll
go through times questioning if you're 'ready' to be a father / ready to provide for your child (takes on a new
urgency when it's not just 'you two', but a new, completely dependent person enters the picture)

The 2nd Trimester seems to be nature's 'breather' for you. She's 'used to being pregnant' (my wife's words, not
mine), her body has adapted to the new demands & you've adapted as well. Morning sickness is usually gone.
Enjoy your last days as 'just two', 'cause once the 3rd Trimester kicks in, life's changes become apparent.

3rd Trimester. Things get bigger (your ab. as well as hers -- but hers will drop faster! <G>). Nights get
longer, with quite a few trips to the bathroom -- gives you a chance to get used to it, as 'midnight feedings' are
a misnomer, most newborns want to eat every couple of hours to start with! Nesting instinct will kick in,
and you'll be moving a lot of furniture around (if not repainting the room / house)).

Enjoy it all. You're only a first-time father once, and any future pregnancies won't be the same.

My first child waited until the day after Father's day to be born. She's been just as stubborn ever since!
