Did your girlfriend leave you?
Jack
3/26/2024
No, not yet. But she's been acting strange lately, like she's on the verge of saying something big.
CookieBad
3/26/2024
I think she might be pregnant
Jack
3/26/2024
She is! We're going to have a baby! I'm going to be a dad! laughs Can you believe it? Me, a father? It's both terrifying and thrilling.
CookieBad
3/26/2024
Hey that’s great! I’m happy for you Jack
Jack
3/26/2024
Thanks, mate. I appreciate your support. I'm still trying to wrap my head around this whole situation. It's going to be a wild ride, isn't it?
CookieBad
3/26/2024
Yeah but don’t worry you will get use to it
Jack
3/26/2024
"Yeah, I guess you're right. I mean, babies are cute and all, but what if I mess this whole parenting thing up? What if I can't be a good dad?"
CookieBad
3/26/2024
Baby you will do just fine. Your already a caring person I see
Jack
3/26/2024
"I hope so. I want to be the best damn dad out there. I don't want to screw this up."
CookieBad
3/26/2024
Trust me jack you won’t. Your girlfriend must be so excited
Jack
3/26/2024
sighs Honestly, I'm not sure if she's excited or terrified.
CookieBad
3/26/2024
Mhm but hey. Congrats again jack and I’m happy to be one of your last friends before this big step
Jack
3/26/2024
"Thanks, mate. Means a lot coming from you. You've always been there for me through thick and thin." clinks glasses "Cheers to new beginnings!"
CookieBad
3/26/2024
Cheers!
Jack
3/26/2024
takes a deep breath So, what do you think I should do to prepare for this whole dad thing? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
CookieBad
3/26/2024
First things first you gotta set a nursery up. Lay out the stuff that’s being used still like the crib, clothes, diapers etc. And let your girlfriend do most of the work because it’s her body and belly after all
Jack
3/26/2024
nods Yeah, you're right. I should start by setting up the nursery and letting her take the lead. I want to be supportive and involved, but I also don't want to overstep my boundaries. Do you have any other tips?
CookieBad
3/26/2024
Well that’s about it. Just make sure you don’t leave all the work for her since you’re going to be a stay home dad and a bread winner which sounds like what you’re planning to do
Jack
3/26/2024
grins "You know what? You're absolutely right. I need to step up and take on my responsibilities as a future stay-at-home dad and breadwinner. No more sitting on the sidelines and waiting for someone else to do things. I'm going to be proactive and make a plan. First things first, I need to create a budget and start saving for our future. I want our child to have the best possible start in life."

raises his glass Cheers to being responsible adults and preparing for the arrival of our little bundle of joy!
CookieBad

Cheers!
Jack

looks at his phone Oh, shoot! I just realized I have a doctor's appointment tomorrow to confirm the pregnancy.
CookieBad
3/26/2024
Ah! Let me know how it goes. How far along is your girlfriend
Jack
3/26/2024
furrows his brow Honestly, I'm not sure. We haven't been keeping track of the exact weeks, but I think she's somewhere in the second trimester.
CookieBad
3/26/2024
a few days later Hey how did the appointment go yesterday? How far along was your girlfriend? Is she having any complications? Or is everything alright?
Jack
3/26/2024
sits down and takes a deep breath The doctor's appointment went well, but it turns out my girlfriend is further along than we thought.
CookieBad
3/26/2024
Oh wow! So is she having any complications since she’s further along? Or everything is alright?
Jack
3/26/2024
Everything is actually going smoothly so far. The doctor said the pregnancy is progressing normally and there are no complications.
CookieBad
3/26/2024
Oh wow that’s good news! Is she telling anyone?
Jack
3/26/2024
smiles She hasn't told her family yet, but we decided to keep it a secret for now. We want to enjoy this moment between the two of us before sharing it with the world.
CookieBad
3/26/2024
Alright cool. Any gender predictions? Does she have cravings? Or any morning sickness?
Jack
3/26/2024
sips his drink Well, she doesn't have any morning sickness, thank goodness. As for cravings, she's been having these intense hankering for ice cream lately.
CookieBad
3/26/2024
Ice cream craving? Damn girl
Jack
3/26/2024
grins mischievously Yeah, she can't resist the creamy goodness. I've even started stocking up on ice cream in the freezer for her.
CookieBad
3/26/2024
Well, that’s sweet of you. Anything else happening? Any weird symptoms? How has her mood been?
Jack
3/26/2024
pauses, looking hesitant Actually, there is something else... Her mood has been really unpredictable lately.
CookieBad
3/26/2024
Huh, that’s unusual. And has she gotten really emotional? Or is she usually calm and collected?
Jack
3/26/2024
frowns She's been really emotional lately, often crying for no apparent reason. It's been tough to navigate through her ups and downs.
CookieBad
3/26/2024
Oh damn… Has she been sleeping alright? Has she been eating alright?
Jack
3/26/2024
nods Thankfully, she's been sleeping okay and eating relatively well. But I'm worried about the emotional rollercoaster she's been on.
CookieBad
3/26/2024
Damn that sucks. Have you talked to her about it? Maybe she needs some sort of help
Jack
3/26/2024
looks determined You're right, I need to talk to her about it and see if there's anything we can do to help her through this.
