10 Creative Ways to Pamper Your Pregnant Wife
By I.J. Schecter
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.

Just NO. NO. N O. I would be incredibly uncomfortable and embarrassed for my husband if he did these things unless I was less than 5 years old which I'm not. Hope you guys out there have some critical thinking unlike the author of this article. Do stick with the basics, ESPECIALLY LOWER BACK MASSAGE, some maternity clothes that would make us preggos feel gorgeous, please help around the house more than you usually would, please ask and LISTEN how we're feeling, don't deprive us of good sex even when our tummies get huge, maybe get us a gift card for a day spa because towards the end it's hard for us to do our own pedicure, tell us how much you care and how much you'd like to meet with the baby, cut us some slack when we snap at you for no good reason - it's the hormones and this too will pass, show interest in getting and putting together baby gear, actually take a few weeks off when the baby arrives. That would at least make me feel loved and pampered, not some freaggin sock show and you getting your nails done at the spa :S
