poupoune26 & jnett,

Not that I'm advocating anything, because I really don't know where that line in the sand is where "some" is too much and it jeopordizes the baby, BUT my previous OB in California (who is from South Africa) told me that if, once a month, I wanted a beer or a glass of wine to go ahead. So I am totally curious what is "allowable" from a medical perspective.

Now, I'd probably be still too much of a chicken to actually drink it "just in case" but I know my mom drank while she was pregnant with me and I'm fine (although my hubby and kids would beg to differ).

Any non-"USA"ians that can comment on your country "rules"? totally curious now.

I've been thinking about that. If in Europe you can drink 1 glass of wine a day...maybe 1 small glass of wine with dinner occasionally wouldn't hurt..would it?

I miss my wine!!!!  Makes me wish I lived in Europe, where they still allow pregnant women to have a glass of wine or beer a day.

Counting my blessings that my DH still wants to have sex with me though!  Phew!

Yes Stephie it's raw meat or cured meat. It's a risk for toxoplasmosis. I always forget to ask my doctor if they checked for toxo when I had my first pregnancy blood tests.  I used to have a cat so it may be that I have already the bacteria and if that's the case then I should be safe, right?  My next appointement is on Fri I'll try to remember...

I miss my red wine at dinner!!!  I would miss beer but I discovered some non-alcoholic BECK..it's good!  Miss my heels (my dh won't let me wear them anymore :(....)  And I kinda miss my LIBIDO. Don't know where the hell it went but I would love it back please..!  Don't get me wrong, my dh is still getting a lot but sometimes, I really have to force myself to get in the mood. Once we're doing it it's good but still, I was usually all over him all the time.

As for diet pepsi, I drink the no caffeine one, it's good.  And as for coffee, I do drink some occasionally. 1 coffee a day doesn't hurt!

So only once a week now??? I'm laughing! My poor husband.  Didn't even get once a week before I got pregnant!!!  I told you all this was a miracle pregnancy.

Now, he freaks about it while pregnant.  Thinks he's invading little one's space!

.....so that's why my hubby didn't argue for the first time EVER when I said I wanted the lights turned off. Why don't you make a game out of it and blindfold him....tell him to imagine you pre-preggo and then tease him a little (sorry for the TMI idea everyone....)

Prosciutto, salami, gorgonzola, brie, taleggio, tiramisu and DRINKS of course! The prosciutto is definately the one I miss the most. I can't wait to have a fresh ciabatta bread with prosciutto! I think I'll have it ready for right after the delivery!

ok montie this is it, I freaked out a bit... but looked at the papa murphy ingredient list for cookie dough and it only uses dry pasturized eggs... so it looks like it was ok!!!  Sooooo I guess some of them use that like the pillsbury cookie dough I think... phewwww

Ok, so I did sneak some cookie dough once, but it is on the no no list due to the raw eggs.  It's really on the no no list for everyone pregnant or not, but I'll take my chances when I'm not prego cause I love it!!

I miss my Route 44 Diet Coke with lime slices and my pot of Starbucks in the mornings!!  I love my coffee!  I miss my clothes and high heels.  I love clothes and can't wait to tuck a shirt in and put on some spikey heels.  I miss raw cookie dough!!  And, I miss my sleep, not having heartburn 24/7 and being able to shave my legs without such a huge effort!

I miss my Starbucks... venti, vanilla latte...  extra hot with a nice foam and crema on top, maybe a dash of cinammon (a bit of aromatherapy on these dark cold December days). Better than morning sex in my book.

Ohhh... and a good sushi roll (especially around 1am) I even dreamt of sushi one night :)
