[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My wife and I are expecting our first child. We are designing the nursery and getting everything needed for the baby. She is going overboard with wanting a huge theme, fancy furniture, and a bunch of stuff. I know she is super excited, but I don’t see the point of spending a ton of money on items are child will grow out of quickly. I understand we will need to spend money on some staple items like a crib, rocking chair, dresser, car seat, stroller, etc., but I don’t think we need a $1200 bassinet, two different swings, a bunch of brand new clothes, etc. I don’t mean to come across as a jerk, because I’m just as excited, but I know there is more important items to put money towards. How can I make her see this? [/quote]

It is what she can control right now.  She can’t do much more than eat and sleep and wait otherwise. She feels lousy and is gaining weight at a rapid pace.  She needs a diversion.[/quote]

OP here. She’s beautiful and pregnant. She is doing plenty - workouts almost everyday, goes to work, goes out with friends, helps clean the house, cooks dinner, etc. [i]She’s also not gaining much weight either. [/quote][b]

This is not something to brag about. It can be cause for alarm.[/quote]

OP here. How is it alarming? I was not bragging - simply putting it that not all pregnant women just sit around and gain weight. My wife and I are both very active. She sought out prenatal workouts when the doctor told her to limit certain activities. I don’t know why people think pregnant women are not capable of doing the things above. Plenty of pregnant women work, care for young children, tend to housework, etc.. She defineijt scaled back on things, and I’ve takwn over a lot more stuff, but she still enjoys being active. Like she says - just because she’s pregnant, doesn’t mean she’s incapable. [/quote]
