10 Creative Ways to Pamper Your Pregnant Wife

By I.J. Schecter

Pages:  1  2  3  

5. Put on a Show
Take advantage of those single socks whose partners get eaten by the dryer. Grab three or four – preferably different colors – and draw funny faces on them. Think of something fun you can act out, like the day you met, your first date or the climactic scene from Steel Magnolias. Hide the sock puppets under the foot of your bed. When your wife tucks herself in that evening, pretend you've misplaced something (like your watch), get down on all fours to search, then let the show begin.

6. Step, Kick, Step...
Since confirming the great news, your wife has probably adopted a regular exercise routine such as yoga or water aerobics. Take a day off from blasting your pecs and abs to join one of her classes. Don't worry that you suddenly feel less coordinated than a baby calf. Her happiness during pregnancy is largely a matter of simple togetherness. The more ways you can share the experience with her, the better.

7. Show Her Courting Doesn't End with Marriage
Write her a short love letter. Make it something fun, like a poem about her toes, a list of your 20 favorite things about her or a passage about how watching her sleep is like bluffing on a pair of 10s – joyful beyond words. Mail the letter to your own address along with a small gift: a new lipstick, tickets to a movie that weekend, a sachet for her underwear drawer. The combination of silliness and romance is a surefire winner.
