PARTYING WHILE PREGGERS
posted on 12/10/2007
We attended my company’s Holiday Party this weekend, which is the fourth party,or happy hour, that I have attended while preggo. This prompted me to create a “parties” photo album to document the soberness. And for those of you who have been wondering, it has been surprisingly simple to not partake. There have been a few moments of stress that have made me reminisce on how I would handle the situation if not pregnant, but no real desire to. But due to the smoking ban, I am able to attend happy hours with friends and still keep the baby healthy, and whomever else I am driving home safely. I did have a partial glass of red wine with the dinner this weekend, which only makes me tired these days. Bryce still indulges of course, however he over-indulged in an obscene amount of shellfish at the cocktail hour pre-dinner. This resulted in our early departure and him being really ill for the remainder of the evening [insert ‘idiot husband’ comment here, in a loving way of course]. I am not eating shellfish or pork during this pregnancy, b/c I think those foods are dirty and a common carrier of bacteria, so I did not suffer his fate. Ok, that was a little bit of a lie…I am eating crawfish. I can’t be expected not to!
I have been feeling Baby Watson move a little bit, but only from the outside. I’m assuming that I am feeling him turn on his side b/c this hard 4 inch long bump appears from time to time since Thursday. I haven’t put on a lot of belly weight so I can see it and feel it, so can Bryce. So, as usual I am spending my days waiting to feel him “flutter”….and waiting for My Sophia to come home. Our next appt is next Monday, the 17th.
