I did go with The Wife to her first appointment with the OB her friend recommended. I'm really glad I did. The Doctor and her nurse answered so many of our questions, even some we didn't know we had. They gave us the manual and everything. Okay, so it's not so much the manual as a starter kit, but still, it's all very good information. It was quite a relief. I think now we both feel quite a bit better.
Someone also loaned me a book titled something like, She's Having A Baby And I'm Having A Breakdown. I haven't started it yet, but it came highly recommended, so we'll see. I haven't looked at her "What To Expect..." book yet, but I have been reading some of her "Girlfriends Guide To Pregnancy". It seems to be pretty good.
It seems like she's a little less nauseas and tired, but it's not completely gone. Hopefully that will continue to improve.

DO NOT READ What to Expect when you're expecting. That book will make you completely paranoid. They bring up every possible little thing that can go wrong. I hate that book.
But for you, Pole, I highly recommend "My Boys Can Swim: The Official Guy's Guide to Pregnancy"

Very funny.
Good title. I'll have to check that out. Thanks.
