Be aware there are a few types of morning sickness and it is in thirds. 1/3 have no symptoms, 1/3 have nausea and the lucky few have nausea with vomiting. Get ready if you are in the latter 1/3rd, it is no fun. Be prepared to hold back hair like you did with your college girlfriend that had to much to drink. I have been told to imagine your worst hangover that just repeats itself. If you are a smart man you should just go with the flow and not make any jokes. My wife is not in a joking mood.
If you are like me, and the getting pregnant part was so hard, every pain and grimace is a cause to worry. There is not much you can do but hope for the best and read all you can about what is going on with her body. Don't get freaked out when you read that the eyes are on the sides of the head during the 10th week. As soon as you hear the heartbeat a whole new list of fears appears.
How much is this going to cost? Where are they going to go to college? Who is going to work and who is going to stay home. Be realistic, Can you both work? Can you be a stay at home dad? I have about 5 months to make a lot of decisions.
Well, enough of looking forward, for now just make sure your wife is comfortable and doesn't puke on the floor. If she does and you have to clean it up just think of it as training for the baby/babies that are on the way.
