The Power of Pregnancy

There are many advantages to being a man.  Some include being able to write your name in the snow while you pee, not having to put makeup on and do your hair, and having vastly greater upper body strength.  One of the best advantages however is one of our worst downfalls.  We will never have the opportunity to experience pregnancy.  I am thankful for this after seeing Katie go through the first 12 weeks.  

Not knowing what pregnancy is like gives Katie what I like to call Pregnancy Power.  I am sentenced to nine months plus to doing pretty much whatever she asks me to.  She can't do things like carry the laundry up the stairs because it's to heavy or empty the garbage because it stinks.  She can't get out of bed to let the dogs out because she won't be able to get back to sleep.  I won't mention what else she can't do because she's pregnant to save myself from an ass chewing.  What I am trying to say is that us Dads to be have no choice but to say "yes dear" when Momma says to do something.  I have no leg to stand on about making her do anything when she plays the pregnancy card.  It's just hard to tell sometimes whether she is using her Pregnancy Powers for good or evil.  I am sure she will never tell.
