Every day I get an email from this website and I thought I would share this last one that they sent for the “dad-to-be”. It is so ridiculous.  

Week 16: It’s not fat

Say it again: It’s not fat, it’s not fat, it’s not fat. FAT is a four-letter word right now, and she spends every minute of every day wondering if her body will ever return to its original shape. If you know what’s good for you, you will banish the word “fat” from your vocabulary starting now. If you absolutely need to reference your wife’s size, memorize this scientifically correct synonym: maternal storage tissue.
So, granted, all of the weight that a pregnant woman gains is not just fat. But, let’s be real, pregnant woman gain fat too. As long as you don’t gain too much and you loose it after the baby is born, you shouldn’t have to worry about your husband commenting on your maternal storage issue. I’m almost 16 weeks along and I’ve gained 5 pounds. I’m okay with that and yes, most of it is fat. Have you seen my boobs?!
