Keep Her Smile!

I shouldn't be writing these but here's some quick tips for Dads-to-be who are running out of ideas how to keep their pregnant wife smiling.  Goodluck!

Here's ten creative ways to pamper your pregnant wife from Dadstoday.com

1. Read to the tummy and its owner.  Read her something each night before bed that will distract her from being uncomfortable on some sleeping position and prepare you for becoming a nightly storyteller too.


2. Apply some Pressure. Wait until she steps into the shower, then join her.  Shampoo her hair and make sure to include long luxurious temple massage.


3. Clean Up.  Give the house a serious once-over, not just sweeping the dirt or wiping the table, it means vacuuming, scouring the oven and mopping the floors.


4. A little pillow talk goes a long way.  Go out and buy her a nice pillow, write "pregnancy sleep aid" on the package and leave it on the bed for her to find.  Most pregnant women are advised to sleep on the sides.


5. Put on a show.  Grab those single socks get eaten by the dryer, draw funny faces on them, act out, hide it under the foot of your bed, get down like pretending you misplaced something under, then let the show begin.


6. Step, Kick, Step.... Join her in her yoga or water aerobics class, her happiness during pregnancy is largely a matter of simple togetherness! 


7. Show her courting doesn't end with marriage.  Write her a short love letter, mail the letter to your own address along with a small gift, the combination of silliness and romance is a surefire winner.


8. Contribute to her new wardrobe.  Sneak a pair of your old sweatpants to work, cut out the name of any maternity store and paste it on a gift box as though you bought it that day. Nothing can ever be cuddlier than your clothes.


9. Get a his 'n hers.  She'll enjoy her manicure twice as much if you get one too!  Don't feel bad if you start looking forward to your next manicure right away.


10. Become a gourmet.  The most important thing to her is your effort, not the result, so if you're not a wizard in the kitchen, a simple meal with a candelight is still romantic.  A sure blast to your wife, my hubby did this and it feels really wonderful, I feel being pampered!
