I have never been the type to say “Men!” on a regular basis. I work mostly with men, and as far as I can tell, there aren’t really any major differences between the genders. However, I have really been blown away by how much more I know about pregnancy and even babies than my husband. This is my first pregnancy, so it’s not like I’ve been through this before. Still, I guess I always knew I’d have children, and I guess I’ve been subconsciously preparing for it for years. I read a lot, of course, and I read my first book on pregnancy at least a decade ago. (It was nearly enough to make me to decide to forego reproduction.)

I have to say this disparity in knowledge irritates me a little, which is probably not fair.

Anyway, I told B I was going to buy some maternity clothes as I’d noticed Pea in the Pod was having an awesome sale (40% off all sale items). I was amused to discover he thought I’d be going shopping throughout pregnancy, buying things in pregressively larger sizes as I got bigger. 😉 He is not familiar with the concept of maternity clothes that stretch around the waist but otherwise look quasi-normal.
