Me and my own sin. I'm not really good with anyone who's like emotionally volatile. Maybe if you could say, I'm just like, I think everyone should just feel the same all the time and be okay.

What's up guys? Welcome to another five-minute fatherhood. So I got a question here from Caleb. By the way, Caleb and I met randomly in South Carolina on Myrtle Beach. It was awesome to meet him and his wife and his buddy. And his wife, it was such a cool evening. So Caleb is in our group now. And he's asking, so your wife is pregnant with your first child. Now what? At the time when we were talking, both couples didn't have kids. Now, they're both pregnant. So I'm super

pumped for you guys and excited for what this means, but means for you guys and your family team.

Okay, Jeff and I want to just go give you guys a bunch of examples. So Caleb, here's some things that

we would say to think about during that season of pregnancy. The first thing is, please affirm her looks as her body changes.

One of the things that's so hard, especially during the first pregnancy for women,

is that their body takes a huge hit for the pregnancy.

And that looks different for every woman.

But one of the things that is so important about in a marriage

is that they just feel secure in that covenant.

This is one of the

reasons why the covenant bond before getting pregnant and having children is so critical. I've committed to

you for life. And so as you take this huge hit for our family, whatever that means, however hard

this is for you, I'm going to constantly affirm you through these physical changes and these

physical challenges. And you need to constantly be

encouraging her. I've seen and heard about some guys who actually start to sort of take subtle

digs at their wife during this time of pregnancy. And man, that just that's really upsetting

because she's doing most of the work. And so you need to encouraging her constantly.

So I would say affirming her, especially physically, emotionally, is really important during the

pregnancy. Yeah. Another one would be just go to appointments with her or do all as much as you can to

kind of feel like you're a team doing all the things that come with pregnancy. Because there is a lot

logistically, from the paperwork to the appointments, to the things you need to be doing at home, to all that stuff. And so I would say like integrate yourself into that stuff as much as possible. Appointments is a really easy one, especially if you don't have any kids yet. And it's the first, you know, it's the first one. So that you're not having to like, you know, watch other kids or something like that. But yeah, go to the appointments. And it's actually really fun and talk to talk about it, kind of dream on the way there, dream on the way back, ask questions, ask how she's feeling. I think that's a really, really important one to just feel like you're doing it together. Yeah. And I would say related to that is educate yourself. Like some guys are like, this is not my thing. I don't know what this is like.
