Pregnancy survival:
- 3-6 month pregnant - the best time, you get your energy back. 7-9 worst but that's life. (giddy up...)
- Try and stay as calm as possible, I believe it does affect their temperament. (I'm going to have a crazy bub...)
- Have a wine and cigarette on those days you feel terrible, I did, if it helps you cope then that's good. (moderation of course...lets get real, you can frown all you want social taboo party poopers - you think I like coming to your parties to see you get drunk and make asses out of yourselves while sipping water? - but I'm going to be European about it with a half glass of red occasionally...for all of us born in the seventies-ish, as if we weren't all drunk during our development and for the first six months of our lives!)
- Try and prepare as best you can, do all those things you have been putting off before it arrives. Enjoy your free time now!!!! (this one hurts a lot - but I'm getting a mannie for sure...)
- Don't go crazy with the clothes, my baby has already grown out of 3 sizes in 3 months. (too late, the grandmas' can't help themselves...)
- Make sure you have someone with you at the birth!!! (I'm going to say "I'm so sorry" right now...I've seen movies, its not pretty...)
So...what do you have to say?

Having spent most of the 3rd month of my pregnancy in Europe, and yes I was starting to show, I totally get the Euro mindset. No one looks at you cross-eyed there if you have an occasional beer or half glass of wine. Honestly NAmericans have to pull their heads out of their bums - what do you think is worse, a hlaf glass of vino in utero or McDs three times a week from the age of 3?
Firstly, it just took me 20 freaking minutes to sign up to gmail. Cripes, I have about 20 email accounts I can't remember now...
As you might be well aware of, I am a big proponent of drinking in general and truly love the idea of a glass of wine with dinner each night. Whatevs to that. However, I will have to give you the evil eye for the smoking thang. Nope, nope, sorry darling. There’s just no anti-oxidants in there…
So what do I think?
a. Yah sure, get your license, it will definitely help you when the time comes. But I think you aren’t allowed any passengers under 18 for the first year…hee hee.
b. Buy your bon jovi stroller. He may have chick hair, but it looks wicked.
c. Please don’t breastfeed in front of me. I will cry.
d. Relax and enjoy. Ladies have been doing this for years & I know a few cool moms who don’t drive vans and wear mom jeans.
e. Buy a tide pen.
