We’re pregnant! Or not?

When our boys were due, I'd say "I'm pregnant", since I, being the female, was the only one capable of actually being pregnant. However, we would also say "We're expecting", as both parents certainly go through the emotions of "expecting" a baby.

Nah, that was from one of the divorcee's at jetgirls that had the "Just you wait! They all screw around, sister! I've had seven marriages, I oughta know!" ;)

Not really, but pretty much.

That wasn't at Jetgirls. That was at the other site on Yahoo where only nitwits are allowed to post. Surely you don't go there???!!! :0
 
I was replying X-Forces.. I was just mentioning when she was pregnant with my son back in 97....no more babies here for me......the adoption last year was it......I am getting to old for small ones
 
I want to see one of those HPT commercials where the lady says, "Umm, guess what? I'm PREGNANT!" and the guy goes, "Whu..huh? Dammit! Oh gawd! The...the big game's this weekend! It's for the state championship!"

You know, like the real world!

OK, we have a lot of moms and dads on the board, I was just wondering something.

When you and your other half were expecting, did you say that “I’m Pregnant (for you gals)” or “My wife (Girlfriend) is Pregnant” for us guys, or did you both use the newer, P.C., “We’re Pregnant”?

My wife had a very definitive opinion on the matter. She never referred to the two of us as being pregnant. She believed that the whole idea was ridiculous. She basically pointed out that pregnancy was a physical state, and that I was incapable of being pregnant, which is true. I agreed, I never considered myself, or us as a couple, pregnant. I would point out that I was going to have a baby soon, but not that I was pregnant.

How did you guys handle the situation?

Congrats Tim!

When Kristie's not feeling well, I always tell her, "It better have kinky hair and a broad nose or I'm calling my LOWYAH!" :)

She never EVER thinks that's funny.

Too funny.

and I tell everyone now when they ask if we are having another,

"If we have another, someone (Julie) will be moving"

snip, snip ;)

We were "expecting", she was HAPAI. Adoption last year was easier too. We rented to own....don't get that the HAPAI way!
 
It's funny, I read the title before clicking and thought to myself, "We're pregnant? That's retarded - she's pregnant, you're just there to get the ice cream and whatnot."
 
Not to hi-jack the thread, but I had a screwed up dream last night that my wife and I had a kid - little boy. But she didn't want to name the kid and she almost neglected it. WTF. I'm loosing my mind in these crashpads. I've seen my wife a total of 3 days this month. Pathetic.

:) Man = gopher, granted ... but I have to say, I :hiya:was TOTALLY feeling the pregnancy mood swings, hormone changes, anxiety, etc. Not to sound like a wuss, but it really happens.

I still think it "ain't" right to say "we're pregnant." Until the day I become a seahorse, I'll reject that phrase. :bandit:
 
We said "We're expecting" and "We're pregnant"....of course...with all the (ahem) "sympaty" weight I put on during my wife's pregnancy, it was kind of true. :D :D
