What about me?!!
You laugh, but I am serious
What about me?!!
On a daily basis, I ask myself that question. Sometimes, I am angry. Sometimes, I am frustrated. Somtimes, I am emotional. But, in all seriousness, "What about me?!!"
Being pregnant is hard. I know. I am pregnant too. I have gained weight. I am always hungry. I can't sleep. I'm tired all the time. I cannot get comfortable. I toss and turn at night. My body aches. I cry for no reason. My feet are swollen. I pee constantly. And, I feel like a planet orbitting the sun. See, I'm pregnant too...I have all the symptoms...well, minus the babies.
So, again, the question remains, "What about me?!!"
This is a question that guys have secretly asked for years. Be honest, I am not the only one that is ashamed of this fact...but willing to admit it. I mean, think about it. It has been and always will be about the woman. Forever! We have to chase them. We have to ask them out. We have to pay for the dates. We have to propose. Then, the wedding comes. At the wedding, we could not even show up and the result would be the same. No one wants to see the groom, everyone wants a glimpse of the bride. But, it doesn't stop there.
Now, that my wife is pregnant, the question always is..."how is your wife?" or "how is the wife feeling?" It is never about me. No one ever asks me how am I feeling. And, like I said before, I'm pregnant too.
PS: Please don't ask me how I am doing!
PS+S: Thank you to everyone who continues to ask how Meagan is. We really appreciate it.
Justin, Meagan and Boys,
ReplyDeleteReading this made me think of something a little different but I have a point.
Meagan you are one lucky mommy and wife. You are going to be the only girl (not including Minnie) in your house. It has been my experience that boys and their moms have a unique bond.
Boys, You see.... when your daddy and uncle B were teenagers, they were very protective of me. I could always count on one of them for a kind word or a hug when I was having a hard day. Those times are still vivid in my memory and they are precious to me. To this day both of my boys care how I feel and ask me often. I am grateful for them everyday of my life. (They learned this from your Papi who is a wonderful example of what a husband and father should be.)
Always treat your mom with love and respect. She will be one of your greatest advocates in this life. Just a hint...I will be too.
By the way.... How are you son? Always know I love you and I am so proud of the man you have become. One of the greatest gifts your dad gave you was the example of how to treat your wife. I know when people ask you about Meag, you wouldn't have it any other way.
I love all of you,
Your Mom and Nana
