Fathers are expectant too

As all my friends and colleagues know, throughout my pregnancy, I have not had weird food cravings eg. waking up at 2AM and forcing Hubby to go out to tapow Mee Pok.
Andy feels lucky and we both agree that it is just an evil plan for wives to exploit their hubbies when they are pregnant Haha..

But seems like Andy is the one having all the funny food cravings instead.
He has cravings for:
- Ice cream
- Durians
- Steamboat
- and other food items according to that day's events / moods

Once every 2-3 days, we would drive to Geylang to buy durians (and I take the opportunity to buy grapes, nectarines and plums). The durian stall Wonderful is very happy to see this preggy woman and her husband. They must be thinking "Wah this preggy aunty always got craving for durians almost everyday must come and buy"

And when we go out with friends, Andy would want to eat Steamboat. And I thought it's the pregnant wife's right to choose what to eat??!
Since I cannot eat seafood, I am left with not much choices for the steamboat spread.
But still, I dont mind. Because Andy is the one with the craving instead. If I dont give in, he will keep talking about steamboat at night before we go to bed.

The other night, he told me he had cravings for dim sum for the next day's lunch. He even listed all the items he wants to eat.
But the next day, we didnt have dim sum for lunch so I thought it's Ok, he has conveniently forgotten about his craving. But at night when driving home from work, he drove to Geylang to buy his durians and dim sum - including all the items he listed the night before.

So you see my point? Fathers-to-be experience all the weird pregnancy symptoms as well, it is even mentioned in our pregnancy book.

On the other hand, I feel happy because pregnancy has brought us to a new-found level of intimacy we have never experienced before.
Andy reads "Chinese names" while I read "What to expect when you are expecting" before bedtime.
It has become a routine every night for us to:
Andy: Goodnight Baby *kiss tummy*; Goodnight Mummy *kiss my lips*
Me: Goodnight Daddy *kiss his lips*

before we both roll over and fall asleep.

This is my 29 weeks tummy. D-day is another 10 weeks or so away!




Daddy & Mummy love Baby!
