Making the decision to have a child is momentous… it is to decide forever to have your heart walking around outside your body.

What not to say to an 8-month pregnant woman

Pregnant Woman: Darling, if you could, would you choose to have our next child yourself?

Husband of Pregnant Woman: No, I couldn't bear the labour and delivery.

PW: OK, excluding that, would you choose to experience the pregnacy itself? To grow in places you would rather not grow, feel the nausea and any other pregnancy complaints? But also experience the feeling of closeness with your child and feel it move inside you?

HoPW: Yeah I would, I mean, the pregnancy compalints, they are all a matter of perspective.

PW: You mean you think it is easier than women let on, that you could do it easly withour complaint?

HoPW (ignoring dangerous look in PW eyes): Yeah, as I said pain is a matter of perspective...

Cue teary, hormonal pregnant woman and extremely apologetic husband for the rest of the day.

Oh, you and your loaded questions. :) How sweet that he would atleast do it if he could. My hubby is too big of a baby and he knows it!

BTW, you must try Hersey's candy cane kisses. They are to die for. I could sneak you a bag in the mail. No one has to know! Then if you eat the whole bag in one sitting, no one else would know. You may need this chocolate after the baby is born. :)

EEK! It's almost as if he was aiming for the land mines!

Oh no! I hope he didn't get throttled too badly (although he clearly deserved it)!
