I think I caught my wife's preganacy!

I've been feeling weird for the last month and I couldn't put my finger on it!

I started feeling really moody and tired for about a month now. I was finding myself passing out mid afternoon on the couch, which is very unlike me, usually I'm restless and high energy, constantly fiddling or puttering with something while I'm awake and I've never ever been one to nap. My schedule has been unchanged and nothing else was new. Then the moodiness started to come. I found myself grumpy and very impatient, there were days when I had to give myself a time out and go for a little walk to just regroup and recentre. I couldn't figure out why I was feeling like this.

Two weeks ago, I started finding myself getting queasy at work. (I'm a nurse and often find myself cleaning moutians of shit or other equally nasty stuff) This has never bother me before and always had quite the strong stomach, so it was wierd when I started feeling nauseous or gagging at times.

Now this week I started feeling hungry all the time! This is really a new feeling, for most of my life I've only ate supper. I used to refuse to eat entire weekends out of protest when my parents first got divorced. I've never really felt hungry like I've needed to eat, but all of sudden I'm hungry, and not just for snacks, chips or candy. I've been waking up early or staying up late and cooking real food and meals. I've never ate after my night shifts or during them but all of a sudden I'm always hungry.

Anyways I was telling my wife all this the other day and she got a little smirk and suggested I have Couvade Syndrome. Which is a when a father had sympathic symptoms of pregnancy with his wife. Interesting even now while looking it up it lists things like toothaches! This is also something I've had out of nowhere in the last month. The last time my tooth acted up was over 3 years ago and I had a dental procedure to fix it! I was even at the dentist yesterday and he actually x-rayed the crap out of my head and couldn't figure out why it's acting up all of sudden, I got so fed up I'm scheduled to have the thing pulled out!!! (I think I may wait a bit now that I read more about this).

It's interesting since this is her third pregnancy and I've never had anything like this before, but this is also the last one ever and I'm a bit sad since I did want more children so maybe somehow the psychological effects of that are doing something to me.

It's certainly a wierd experience I wanted to share with everyone.

Now I'm even more worried about this fitness challenge and my weight loss goals.
