pregnant

The last 6 months of this year had been draining, both emotionally, financially and definitely physically especially the last 2 months of my wife’s pregnancy. Those who have been following this write up will be quick to guess that the physical exhaustion angle of the pregnancy has to do with doing more than half of the house chores, including sweeping the house every morning before going to the office – ‘my wife said the doctor said not to bend anymore’, so am left with no options.

Most pregnant women appear stubborn to me, well in case my submission is incorrect (though I strongly believe an empirical investigation should be conducted), at least I know ‘big tummy’ is, of course a product of the pregnancy. She really got me into serious trouble, bigger than her tummy last weekend.

There is this popular saying amongst the Yoruba speaking people of Western Nigeria: 'A man whose wife is pregnant is also a pregnant husband'. I have never given this saying a second thought until recently.
Right now, I am one of the pregnant husbands, and my pregnancy is big, time consuming and expensive!
