the plate my good man, and be just that, a good man. Ask if she would like you to do those things until she feels better, don't force yourself on her, just simply let her know that you are there for what ever she needs you for. She will appreciate the support that you are offering & will feel loved and cherished. After all, you vowed to love her in sickness and in health, show it. Be willing to rub a sore back or feet, no matter how fat or swollen they are, and NEVER mention that to her.

Be respectful of her changing body and know that there is not a lot that she can do about it. Of course she is getting bigger, for Pete's sake she is carrying a life inside of her belly.

Tell her daily how beautiful she is, make a conscious effort to tell her that. Remember to be original & mean it!

If your wife feels your love & support you will have half of the battle won. This is an important time in your lives, make the most of it. A normal pregnancy last 40 weeks, it will go very quickly. This is only the beginning of a series of wonderful and awesome events that will bless your lives. It won't be easy necessarily, but it will be worth every single trial that you face. During labor my wife's doctor always tells her to think about her baby & to work for it. It has occurred to me that as dads we too must think about our babies & work for them as well. The rewards are priceless!

So my friend, do not become down hearted, sure things are unpredictable and stressful, but think about your baby and work for it. As soon as you gaze into those wondrous little eyes, and touch that tiny little hand you will forget about all of your hardships, they will simply fade away.
