Mood swings are one of the not so nice perks of pregnancy. My moods swings started happening during the third month. I felt really bad for Squid. I think I yelled a lot. But it wasn't my fault; I blame the stupid raging hormone action going on in my body.

"Hey babe," I said one Sunday morning, greeting him in my home entrance. I led him into the kitchen where I had a pile of waffles on the stove just calling both of our names. And when I mean both of ours, I meant mine and the baby's.

We both ate some waffles when my stomach started getting really queasy and before either of us knew anything; my waffled were back into the kitchen, this time on the floor.

"Get some paper towels," I barked between gags. "Now!" Squid panicked and scurried around before dropping a roll of paper towels infront of me.

"Want to help the lady with the alien in her stomach?" I asked rather rudely. Squid knelt down and wiped up the puke, although he was disgusted. I whipped my mouth with a napkin.

"Sorry I yelled," I said apologetically.

"That book you gave me told me to expect some mood swings," Squid said. I beamed, knowing he actually was reading that book. I launched myself at him and hugged him tightly.

"You're reading the book?" I asked excitedly. He nodded and stepped back out of my hug.

"Course, if you wanted me to, I figured I might as well. There's a lot of information in there," he confessed, contradicting his original perception of the book. I hugged him again and this time squid placed his hand on my belly bump. A sharp pain in my stomach caused me to lean into him a little but that quickly went away.

"I'm going to, shower," I said quickly as I hobbled my way to the bathroom.

I held my extra large pickle in one hand and Squid's hand in my other has we walked around one of the plaza malls in the center of town. Pickles were one of the main cravings I had during the pregnancy. Squid and I went to Baby Gap because I was always obsessed with how cute their clothes were.

"Look how cute!" I grabbed a little dress off the wall and held it up to Squid. Squid smiled slightly, seeing as he wasn't really into clothes shopping.

"When are they going to tell us the gender?" he asked, thumbing through a rack of pajamas.

"When they say they can," I said and watched an employee approach us.

"Hi, welcome to Gap baby. Do you guys need help finding anything?" She was eyeing my bump the whole time.

"No thank you, just browsing," I replied. She left us alone and I waddled towards the maternity area.

"These all look like old lady clothes," I whined as I looked through a rack.

"You'll look fine in anything," squid said, hugging me from behind, "Or nothing," he added with a whisper. I smacked him playfully before wrinkling my face.

"I can't look good at all when I have this huge tummy." Squid shook his head, disagreeing.

"Not true," he said, "let's get out of here, you're depressing yourself." I nodded and we both left the store.

"Let's get you something," I said to him, "you deserve something for putting up with me." I glanced around at the stores.

"I don't need-" I cut him off with my hand.

"I insist. Ok, what about a new pair of sneakers or something, the ones you have on look really gross." We both looked down at his sneakers which had a hole in one side and were almost brown from dirt stains.

"I guess," I tugged on his hand into a Nike store. He walked down the aisles and his face lit up on each shoe he saw. I was really happy that I was going to get him these because he never thought he'd get a pair, at least from the actual store. No, he was more of a Goodwill shopper.

"I like these," he said, standing up to admire a pair of black sneakers he had put on.

"Do they feel ok?" I asked, "Walk around in them." He did and he liked them. He kept them on and put his old shoes in the box. That was the last store we went to before getting lunch and going home.

At five months pregnant I had the biggest stomach I'd ever seen. We had an appointment to find out the gender of the baby and both Squid and I were very excited. The gel they used for the ultrasound was really cold and it tickled a little.

"There's your baby," the doctor said, turning the monitor to let my mom, squid and I see. My mom and I both had let a few tears slip.

"Aw it's so cute!" I whispered and squeezed Squid's hand in excitement. He squeezed back and waited for the doctor to tell us anything, bad.

"Everything looks great," he said, "are you ready to find out the sex?" Squid and I looked at each other before smiling.

"Yes," we both said. The doctor left the room for a moment before coming back smiling.

"Well, you better start thinking of names because you're new baby girl will need one," I couldn't control it and I started crying, harder than I was before.

"Are you ok?" Squid asked.

"Alan, she's just very, hormonal and emotional. When I found out she was a girl I cried for days, for no reason," squid raised his eyebrows.

"I'm just…happy….that's all…." I said between sniffles.

"Ow my back!" I complained as we got out of car to go to the house, "I want to lie down." I walked into my room and slowly climbed onto the bed. I lay on my side and felt Squids warn hands rest on my shoulders. He moved his thumbs in circles to massage all the knots I had in my neck and back. I fell asleep eventually and when I got up, he was still laying there, watching me.

"You're mom made spaghetti," he said coyly, "it's almost done."

"Have you been here the whole time?" I asked. He nodded. I turned to face him and my belly created a wall between us. I pouted because I couldn't cuddle with him and he leaned over to kiss my nose. He put his hands on my tummy which made my heart skip a beat.

"Woah," he said suddenly. I looked at him, concerned. "It kicked me, well my hand." I smiled.

"You know, whenever I see you my heart kinda flutters a little bit and she starts kicking and moving a lot." Squid beamed and helped me get off the bed.

"Hello there little girl," he said to my belly, "I'm your…" he looked up at me for a moment, "I'm your daddy."

that last line makes me smile wide. i know it's kinda all cute and stuff now
