Nearly two and a half decades of partying like a rockstar on New Year's Eve and last night was the first time I have ever been the designated driver! Weird.
Since I made the decision to have a baby, I've been working hard to prepare my body. I've been trying to eat healthy--adding in more organic and natural foods, take my vitamins, cut back on caffienated coffee, and curb the alcohol intake. Believe it or not, it hasn't been as tough as I imagined. I think the hardest part is seeing the disappointment on people's faces when I pass on the drinks. I've built up a pretty good reputation as the "Girl who's always up for a party" and when I turn down the alcohol I'm greeted with shock, disappointment and sadness. I get it. It was one of the worst things I had to deal with when all my friends started getting pregnant.
I guess I see it like this... I'm going to do my absolute best to get pregnant by my birthday next August. I'm viewing my body as my hypothetical baby's little house. And since I'm building it with older bricks and already-been-used cement, I need to do whatever I can to make it the best house. Sure, a little glass of wine or a beer during the game on Sunday probably wouldn't hurt, but I've got my eye on the prize right now and think I'll just stick with the sparkling water.

Okay, okay, I promise no more sad eyes when you turn down cocktails. :) But as soon as that baby pops out, it's all about you and me, and some beers, and a hot beach! Pinky swear!!! Oh, and on that note, I can't wait to help get our hot bodies back after that baby is out. You KNOW I'll be eating for the two of you right along with you! It's not easy being your Siamese twin, but someone's gotta do it. ;)
