The Unwritten Rules To Hanging out with a Pregnant Lady

So, just plain and simple, stay away from pregnant women! Just kidding. Anyways, this all started the day when my brother bought his wife a pregnancy test. There we were, nervous, speechless, we didn't know what was to come. Suddenly, BOOM, the door slams open. With only one bright light, lighting up the pregnancy test as my sister in law held it up. Meanwhile, you could here loud angelic voices, " HALLELUJAH." No, i'm just kidding, hahaha. Seriously though, when we found out she was pregnant we were all very happy. The baby will be my first niece/ nephew and my parents first grandchild. So, this was really exiting news. 

Now, lets get down to business.

Rule# 1: Don't be mean to her. The woman's hormones are going crazy right now, so a little comment will send her into tears.

Rule# 2: Be ready to be smelling throw up in the air. Any little food can and may upset her stomach, so, buy her many buckets.

Rule# 3: Talk to her about the baby. Talk to her about what gender she might want it to be, the future baby shower, or any names she is thinking off. This always gets pregnant women happy.

Rule# 4: Finally and most importantly, let her know you care about the baby. Ask her many questions and talk to her about the baby and you hanging out when he/she is a little older.

Hopefully this will help me and many of you first time aunts or uncles.
