Hi Ellee05!!
Congrats on your wonderful surprise!! Yes, it will be hard to hide it over the festive season- but you could just say that you are doing a detox, or that you are taking antibiotics for a bladder infection or something!! Or you could do what I did- 'pretend' to sip some wine and then go tip it down the sink- or pass it to your hubby. Once I even accepted a red wine- then went to the kitchen and poured it and exchanged it with cranberry juice- lol!!!

Don't worry about the alcohol and caffeine you have consumed previously. Most of us are in that boat and our babies turn out fine. However, I wouldn't advise drinking caffeinated drinks from now on as they can overstimulate the fetus (ie- cause rapid heart rate), but, more importantly, caffeine is a diuretic and increases fluid loss (urination) and also interfers with the body's ability to absorb nutrients- and you and bub need all the nutrients you can get!! I don't intend to scare you- just something us women need to be aware of.
If you're interested, Francesca Naish's book 'The Natural Way to a Better Pregnancy' is brilliant. It is only $39.95 and available online.

Congrats again to the 2 of you- the best gift you will receive this Christmas, I'm sure!!
