He went through three long periods of forced inactivity due to injuries, two of them much longer than my pregnancy-related inactivity, and certainly nobody ever suggested to me that I should stop having any fun and just sit by his side so we could mope together. In fact, all the advice I got was in the opposite direction -- take care of yourself, spend time doing what you love in addition to spending time caring for him, etc.

My swollen ankles are not going to feel one tiny bit better if he is at home watching television when there is no earthly reason that he can't go for a bike ride instead. That seems like a recipe for making him resent the baby before she's even here.
I never said you should sit and mope together. I'm not at all for moping.

As long as you're really not crabby about it, and really ARE just joking, then okay.
