Oh ladies i hear you on the alcohol thing, i have close friends and family saying the same "one glass is ok" or "its a special occassion" (like that changes how my body is going to use the alcohol on my unborn baby!)and im like "i love my child enough to not even risk it" for goodness sakes, is alcohol such an issue in our society that people feel the need to push it on you even when you are pregnant?? makes me mad. I have decided not to drink because my baby is worth more than that risk to me. If i need a reason to drink, i will find one on my own, dont need anyone else to justify it for me. And besides its not a lifetime without it, just 9 months and while im BFing! Youd think i was losing a limb the way some people react! grrr, makes me wild!

Oh and I work in an insurance company too and we get friday night drinkies as well but they dont push it on me, only friends and family who feel the "need" to be upfront with me. *sigh*

I should just say "and while im downing a glass of wine should i snort a line of coke at the same time? they are after all both drugs of some kind" just for shock value!

As for sizing of bellies... im so over the "you have dropped, you are going to go so early i can tell" this said by 5 different women in the past week. well if i do then i do, if i dont then i wont, well see how it goes shall we Dr ummmm whats your degree again??

I popped out a belly at 15 weeks but there is a lady at my church who is nearly 20 weeks and you cant tell shes preggie, shes stick thin but has no bump (or the tiniest one but hidden by clothing) shes always upset that no one thinks shes 4 months pregnant, poor girl. I never say a word about the size of her belly, i just keep reminding her theres a bubba growing healthy and strong inside of her.
