I heard and some suggested that my latest stomach bug was my “sympathy pains” for Victoria. Some of you are reading this and are probably rolling your eyes thinking I have no clue what I am talking about. I will agree with that, but hear is some evidence…

In one of the magazines the nurse gave us today, it states the following:

“Some fathers-to-be are so engrossed in their partner’s pregnancy that for a while they experience similar symptoms, such as nausea or weight gain. This effect is so common that it has a name — couvade.”

So I am going on record now, my 10 lbs of weight gain is because of “couvade”; not because I am too lazy to go to the gym during the next 9 months. 😉

This is from my Mom:

This is from Victoria’s parents:

Well, the ginger ale and crackers have started.  Except it is for me and not Victoria.  I came down with a stomach bug Saturday night and have been in bed since then.  Victoria took me to the doctor today and they gave me some medicine to help with the cramping.

Hopefully I’ll start to feel better and Victoria won’t catch what I have.
