So, here’s what I’ve got for you this week:

A dad gets sent home from the hospital twice and is forced to deliver baby at home (can you say, “let’s find a new doctor”). A really pregnant woman gets fined for not picking up her dog's poop. She thinks ticket is a load of crap (I agree).

Boy Standing For First Time (video)

Had a great weekend with the family. Steph and I took the kids on a couple of adventures. On Saturday, we rode the bus to the farmer’s market (son’s first bus ride). On Sunday, we took the El (son’s first train ride) to Millennium Park here in Chicago (and no, our car has not been repossessed). In between the bus ride and the train ride my son had another first time experience. He stood up on his own. Don’t know what inspired this awesome feat, but it was hilarious. Captured it on video and thought I’d share it here (this is shot on iPhone 3GS in low light, so it’s a little grainy, but iPhone has taken some awesome video in good light).

What An Expectant Father Should NEVER Say or Do...

Wed, 05 Aug 2009 19:07:00 GMT

"What did you just say?" These are the five words no expectant father wants to hear coming out of his pregnant partner's mouth (this and "The doctor said it's octuplets!"). It's not that men mean to irritate and upset their pregnant partners. We just don't always know what irritates and upsets pregnant women. For example, we like to make jokes or clever comments to lighten the mood. We think we're being funny and smart. But what we don't realize is that a pregnant woman's sense of humor changes along with her changing body. For example,

So, here’s what I’ve got this week:

A mom refuses C-section per doctor’s order, gets a new baby, and then gets taken to court for child neglect. That sucks. Guy takes his pregnant wife on vacation and gets held up. A man wears a sympathy belly and then writes about it (original story, indeed). Old dads find companionsh

This Week's News & Headlines: Male Midwife Loves Pain, Memories From The Womb, Depression Risks, and Accident A-hole Golfer

This Week's DadsPregnant.com Headlines:

So, here's what I have for you this week:

A male midwife urges pregnant women to avoid painkillers and feel the pain. Perhaps, if this particular male midwife gave birth via his penis, pregnant women might be more open to his suggestion. I find this one fascinating —a recent study reports that memories form at 30 weeks in the womb (how the hell they know this is remarkable). Cut to scene with a psychiatrist and adult child, “Doctor, it started in the womb at 32 weeks…”

This Week's News & Headlines: Swearing like a Mother F'er, Prenatal Photo Shoots, Sperm in Swimming Pools, and Involved Dads

This Week's DadsPregnant.com Headlines:

So, here's what I have for you this week:

Mother f’er, swearing and cursing can actually help pregnant women manage pain. Yes, one more reason to not take it personally when your pregnant partner swears at you. That said, NEVER swear back in an effort to manage your pain—that will surely result in more pain. Forget getting that new iPhone video camera, it’s reported that dads-to-be can now see baby in the womb. Schedule your prenatal video shoot once the baby's hearing has developed so when you scream, "Say Cheese" baby will hear you. This article is scary -- I hope you will

This Week's News & Headlines: Fat Lips, Snoring, Stop Crying, And More Sex

This Week's DadsPregnant.com Headlines:

So, here's what I have for you this week:

We've got a story about a pregnant woman slapping her man in the face and giving him a fat lip. He blames her outburst on being pregnant. Not cool pregnant lady -- use us, but don't abuse us. I've included a story about pregnant women's sleep (or lack thereof) and snoring. If she snores like a linebacker on Sunday night following a big game, this might be something worth mentioning to the doctor during that next visit (and don't describe her as a sleepy linebacker). Why mention this to the doc? Pregnant women who

Hey Man, What Happened To Your Skinny Pants?

Fri, 03 Jul 2009 14:26:00 GMT

A good 10 or 15 pounds is all it takes to pop a button, split a seam, or bust a zipper. When it pops, splits, rips, tears, or busts it's time to get bigger pants. When an expectant father gets bigger pants during his partner's pregnancy, the new pants he wears are called "fat pants." That would mean the old pants hanging in his closet become his "skinny pants." That's how skinny pants are defined in the world of the expectant father.
