Words of Wisdom: Mommy is Pregnant Edition
By Carolena

If Daddy seems to be the only parent who responds to your calls and makes you breakfast in the mornings...

If you're getting to watch tv...

If you find Mommy laying on the bathroom floor...

If Mommy has been stopping by McDonalds...

Then chances are Mommy is pregnant. And you'll need to be prepared to help.

If Daddy seems to be the only parent who responds to your calls and makes you breakfast in the mornings... Then chances are Mommy is pregnant. And you'll need to be prepared to help.
First, call out for Daddy in the mornings. A nice long and loud "Daaaaaaaa -da" over and over should be sufficient. Call him until he appears, then instantly smile and begin asking about Mommy. As soon as you've gotten a clean diaper (it's a hassle but Daddy will insist) head to curl up with Mommy in her bed. She'll probably be moving slowly and feeling woozy so you should be sure to keep the jumping to a minimum and instead just crawl all over her asking her to go get you some milk.

If you're getting to watch tv... Then chances are Mommy is pregnant. And you'll need to be prepared to help.
Since Mommy is busy doing first trimestery type things she'll be way more likely to turn on the tv when you ask. Sesame Street, Elmo, "My Show!" (the Muppet Movie) and "Hi Ho" are good go-to requests. As soon as she turns something on yell "no!" and pick something else... like Baby Einstein. It's good to always keep her on her toes.

If you find Mommy laying on the bathroom floor... Then chances are Mommy is pregnant. And you'll need to be prepared to help.
Now that Mommy is pregnant she is going to be spending some time on the bathroom floor. If you hear her getting sick in the bathroom go to her with some words of encouragement. In between her heaving you should cheer and yell, "again! again!" Hand her pieces of toilet paper and offer to "fwush?" She'll appreciate your good nursing skills.

If Mommy has been stopping by McDonalds... Then chances are Mommy is pregnant. And you'll need to be prepared to help.
Now that Mommy is pregnant she has discovered a wonderful place called McDonalds. Every once in a while after doing whatever it is that she does while you play at the Y Kid's Club, she'll go through their drive-through. As soon as that white bag hits her hands, start screaming. She'll need you to take a couple of fries off her hands.

Yes, things are looking pretty different around here these days. Mommy is pregnant and it's a whole new ballgame. Do your best to be on good behavior. Give her lots of kisses - preferably one on each cheek. Laugh and yell "again!" if she gags when changing your diaper. Before you know it the first trimester will be over and things will be back to usual around here... right?
