How is the pregnancy coming along? How are you feeling? How are the symptoms? Thinking of you!

Just the beginning of a lifetime of changes…but you already know it’s worth it! (And for the record, you can still have your daily glass of wine even when you’re breastfeeding. It’s all about the timing! )

We used to go out and have pizza and beer on Sundays. Now, we still go, but sometimes it’s more like a half a beer…Molly either ends up knocking the glass onto the floor or I don’t even get a chance to touch my food or drink after about ten minutes! I don’t want to be the mom that’s chugging my beer with my baby on my hip, you know?!

reading the comments above–i didn’t know there was a name for the ‘nojito’, but yes, it is one of my favorite drinks. i actually grow mint so as to be able to add it to my water with lime. i don’t use sugar–just fresh mint, cold water, and lime. so good. wow now i want one–and i ‘can have’ wine. so there–that’s a much better, more quench-y, healthier option! enjoy taking care of your body for the sake of your little bean. what better reason could you possibly have?

Yes I do plan on breast feeding so I am aware that I have LONG way to go! Not to mention that once the little one is here I am sure the last thing I will want to do is wake up with a hangover. I am sure a crying baby isn’t so wonderful for that! hahaha…Big changes in my future that I probably can’t even imagine. But I am sooo excited for the adventure!

Even after you have the bean you’ll be amazed how much differently you feel about things. You’ll still want your occasional glass of wine, but if you plan on breastfeeding (which I hope you do…it’s amazing), you’ll be a non-drinker for the next year and a half at least. Things definitely change once you have a baby. I know everybody “knows” that, but you don’t truly “know” it until that little squirt comes flying outta you and your whole entire world is turned upside down. You find you aren’t able to do things that before you thought, “Oh yeah, I’ll be able to do that with the baby”. Going out to dinner will ALWAYS be a fiasco. And then there’s the looks. It’s really hard to believe there are people in this world that look at babies like they’re the worst thing to happen to anyone. But you WILL find those people and chances are that if/when you go out with the baby, EVEN IF the bean isn’t making a sound, you’ll be placed at a table beside some of these people. And every tiny little peep your bean makes will have them shooting you and the bean dirty looks. You’ll get mad, suffer through, wanting to punch them for being dicks, and inevitably leave the restaurant a little early and be less inclined to go out again. Sounds fun right? It sucks sometimes. It really does. But you deal with it. You make changes and because you love that little life you created more than anything in the world, the changes don’t hurt. They feel pretty damn good. Kudos to you for having a good Cinco De Mayo your own way!

I missed lunch meat so much. I would go to Subway and get a veggie – that just doesn’t do, ya know! You can have lunch meat if it’s warmed to the point, it smokes but I’m a cold sandwich girl, so I hated doing that! I also missed feta cheese! It’s all worth it tho, soon enough you will be enjoying it again with a little one in your hand!

Nothing wrong with that! Better safe than sorry right?

I just don’t want her getting all bent out of shape about it and beating herself up you know?

I stayed away from that stuff for the first trimester. Didn’t want to take any chances.

You arent the only one that dislikes hot sandwiches. I worked at Panera for a while & there were a ton of customers who would request that we do not press their sandwiches.

You know…I do like the beverages, and that Nojito sounds really good but I hate to pay the lofty prices for them! In LI they are almost as much as the real thing! lol I’m just a cheapo! lol
Subway could be ok if you have the sandwhich toasted…I’m not a big toasted sandwich fan though…
Hope you enjoyed your cinco de mayo too!
