Mr. Sensitive (a.k.a. My Husband)

The other night I was laying on the couch watching TV...Rylee was already asleep...and Damon was laying on the floor. The baby started kicking pretty hard and since Damon hadn't had a chance to feel him yet, I asked if he wanted to feel. Of course, Damon jumped up at the chance. The baby kept up the kicks and Damon was impressed with how strong his little man is already. I'm laying there cherishing this special moment when Daddy first feels his son when Mr. Sensitive arrives... Damon kept trying to feel the baby kicking around my belly button and I kept having to move his hand a little lower. I told Damon that the baby isn't that high yet and he proceeded to grab a 'roll' above my belly button and say, "Then what's all this?!?" OMG! He never did have much tact!! LOL!! Luckily my pregnancy hormones must not have been raging because I was able to laugh hysterically at how insensitive he had been. I so gingerly explained to him that everything that used to take up the space below my belly button was now being pushed upwards... I must admit that I do feel a bit self conscious about the baby weight and his comment did NOT help. He really has got to learn how to think it and not say it!!

I have several friends who are expecting or have recently had babies that are also blogging. Their husbands have periodically posted touching sentiments about how wonderfully courageous and strong their wives have been during the pregnancy, delivery and etc. Not my husband!! I'm really not into all the sappiness, but come on!! A little sensitivity would be just fine!
