1st Pregnancy - Page 3

Hello Ladies

Another first timer here. My symptoms are pretty much nil. I am somewhat queasy in the morning, but a bowl of cereal usually takes care of that.

This morning I scheduled my first Dr. appt. I am going to meet with the nurses Feb 8th and then with the Dr. for an ultrasound on Feb 27th. I am anxious to have the ultrasound...because I cannot wait to see the heartbeat and know that eveything is where it should be.

Waiting anxiously

Michelle

I know! I would recommend this book to women who constantly have the urge to smack their girlfriends upside the head whenever their friends offer advice. Its odd though, I just keep reading it, hoping that it will get better, but no it doesn't. When I got it, I was hoping for a kind of cute, educational, but funny book like the one I bought for my dh.

Fridaxsky: I'm telling my dad when he comes to visit this weekend too. He's bringing his gf along who I'm not crazy about. She made a bad impression on me years ago and I hardly ever see her. They've been on & off for about 7 or 8 yrs now. Its weird sharing such important info with a woman that I've only talked to about 5 times in all the years they've been together.

Are you talking about Be Prepared?? I love that book. I started reading it before I even gave it to my husband. He was reading it a bit last night and this morning he gave me a hug before I left for work and said "the book said that soon your boobs won't be mine anymore" all pouty-like.

What would be a good book for DH?

I've been meaning to post this question for a while. I may x post it in "I'm Pregnant".
My DH doesn't like the men are clueless stuff but he loves to read informative/non fiction stuff. Don't get me wrong, he has a great sense of humor, just being brought up by women who male bashed a lot.
I'm in need of giving him something that might help him get it b/c he's me off. He thinks he's being funny but I'm so super sensitive, I take it as being picked on. I don't know how else to tell him that I feel horrible : most of the time dispite the miracle inside me.
Anyway, good books for the DH. Any suggestions?

Becky and nikkihoi: Yes, the book I was referring to is Be Prepared: A Practical Handbook for New Dads, by Gary Greenberg and Jeannie Hayen. My dh loved it. Its smart and funny and my dh says that it kind of converses with the new dad in a "buddy way." As Becky mentioned, its fun for mom-to-be to read too.
