When I first found out my wife was pregnant,

it was probably the most exciting moment of my life.

I was so overtaking with emotions.

I think I started crying and I just couldn't stop hugging her.

I was just so full of joy.

As the pregnancy got into the third trimester and I saw the baby's arm move under my wife's belly.

I thought there's something in there.

My wife loves Chinese food, but when she got pregnant, she couldn't eat it.

It just didn't sound appealing at all, but she suddenly craved Mexican food, and it was kind of fascinating to, like, okay, let's eat that now.

Generally speaking, I would say if your wife starts to act a little crazy, don't take it personal because she's having a baby. Some great

comments from husbands there about pregnancy and what their wives are going through. It's a beautiful,

overwhelming time. It can also be a bit confusing.

Today on Focus on the Family with Jim Daly, we'll be helping new dads embrace that role of

supporting your wife and gaining a better understanding of what she needs from you. Thanks for

joining us today. I'm John Fuller. John, I think today we're going to sound like a bunch of girls getting together talking

about their experience having a baby, but we're going to do it from the guy's perspective

today.

I can remember Troy, my number two son when he was born, I mean, we had, I don't know,

Gene had a knack for starting labor like at one or two in the morning.

That was her pattern.

And I can remember she woke up and she said, can you just massage the base of my back?

And I was doing that.
