My wife is crazy...

My wife is pregnant with our first child, and I think she is losing her mind. Before I was allowed to go to be last night, she made me get up on the roof with a flashlight and a gun because she heard a burglar up there. She locked herself in the bathroom with a revolver. A delusions a common thing with pregnancy? This is a woman who when we me didn't even want guns in the house, now she is alway asking if we have enough ammo in the house. She also is having crazy dreams about cats and dogs. What gives?
Why does everyone feel the need to burn that much powder?

Sorry, richbug, but that's hilarious! My wife went a little kookoo as well during her pregnancy. Although, I never had to get on the roof! I would suggest that you prepare yourself for lots more of that kind of stuff, the chemical changes inside your wife will go on even after the baby is born!
Also, you might consider giving your wife some pepper-spray instead of a revolver just until she levels-out or you might end up getting shot!
In any case, good luck with everything. Your life is about to change BIGTIME! [:)]

Get used to it for a while. Even for a month or so after the baby is born. Until her hormones stop running wild. Hang in there though, it is about to be the best thing that could happen to ya. Congrats, and best of luck.

Get the job done and come home safe guys.

I got a new shadow. I had to get rid of the other one... It wasn't doing what I was doing.
thats a riot
Yea, you have till around 2 weeks before the kid is born to deal with this, then it really gets wierd till he/she is out. Then you are looking at around 6 months of strange and dont be suprized if you are cut out of the loop between baby and mom. Things get fairly normal when the kids starts getting near 2.
OB tips,
Order a pizza while your wife is in labor, shes poed at you already, why get yelled at on a empty stomach?[:p] Pizza Hut delivers to the ward.
Order roses as soon as you get her to the room, 1 doz, red. Or you are dead.[xx(]
When the baby comes out, dont panic, it will turn human after they bake it under the lamp. [:D]
When they ask you to cut the cord, ask if they will knock 50 bucks off the bill. They wont, but if you get a female doc the look on their face is worth it.
On a real note (though I did all of the things I just listed so I guess they are real to) talk the wife OUT of a episodomy. My wife had one with the first, she was HURTING for weeks. The others she just tore a little and sne was up and walking the next day.

O give me a home where no democrats roam
When my wife was pregnant with our first I was working 4-12 shift and we had just got to bed. She was worrying about getting the baby's bedroom painted and we had just shut out the light at about 02:00.
It was quiet for about 5 minutes and then she said "We're going to have to get that bedroom painted." I just got out of bed and started putting on my clothes. She asked what I was doing. I'm going to paint the bedroom. And I did.[:D]

My wife was the type that would say o honey I love you so much then in the next breath would start crying telling me I hated her and wanted another woman. [/br]
Oh yeah, I've had some of that. Maybe it's somthing in the water in Illinois.
I got a new shadow. I had to get rid of the other one... It wasn't doing what I was doing.
LOL, I wish you well richbug and your soon to be full family, I'm sure you and your wife will pull through just fine and look back on this event and laugh. And next time I see a person on their roof with a gun and a flashlight I won't be worried about snipers I'll be worried about their wives. [:p][:D][:o)]
Good Luck
And YES, you'd better bring flowers!
My wife came in while I was cracking up over this, read the posts, and said "You'd be weird too if you had an alien inside you"
We're a month away from #2's arrival.
Dang, that cord was pretty tough to cut, I thought I'd just snip through it....
I don't know about the episiotomy, though. My wife didn't get one with her son from her first marriage and ended up with 56 stitches. Ok guys, how many of us could really live through that? [xx(]
There are so many good things to come, though. Check out my 'bursting with pride' post. Congratulations [:)]
Got a new gun for my ex-wife.....pretty good trade, huh?
