Pregnancy is NOT easy!

So I knew pregnancy would be tough. I was actually drinking a throwback pepsi while peeing on a stick when we first found out I was pregnant (the drink didn't make it into the bathroom with me, but it was still waiting for me when I got out...) so that was hard to dump the rest of such a hard to find drink down the sink knowing I wouldn't have another one til May. I have coped well with the no caffeine and no alcohol, since I didn't drink much anyways. The hardest day to day thing has been the deli meats. I know thats such a low chance of an infection from bacteria and that I could heat my sandwich, but I don't really care for warm sandwiches. But tonight was the hardest of them all and I am surprised it hasn't happened to me earlier in the pregnancy. I decided to make brownies. While I was mixing the batter it dawned on me that I can't eat the batter. Have you EVER in your entire life baked brownies (or some other scrumptuous treat) and NOT licked the bowl/spoon/fingers???? Seriously, TRY IT! It is near impossible. At least 2/3 of the pan is gone...only 1/3 left to go. Dr. Langer told me to gain weight...doesn't eating a batch of brownies count? :)

    i'm pretty sure eating deli meat and cookie/brownie dough is totally fine. you may want to look into that further. i want to see a picture of the baby bump.

    both are very low risk things, but especially with deli meats where i typically eat them every day its just something i dont want to risk because it would be my luck. ill try and post a picture soon. i cant even count the number of times yesterday students/faculty said "holy crap! you actually LOOK pregnant!" it took almost 24 weeks to get a belly...

    I had just finished a beer right before I peed on the stick... Awesome. I didn't have another one though. And I cut back on the caffeine, but couldn't give it up completely. I did avoid anything that might make me sick though (meat, raw eggs, etc...)

    I'm sure you've been told before, but it really is all worth it!
