Well, yes, it is kind of depressing that there isn't yet any good news on the baby front. However, I was thinking this morning that there are definite benefits to having a reprieve from the restrictions of pregnancy. Namely:
- Some days, like Mondays, I love a second cup of coffee. When pregnant, they say you should only consume 12oz of caffeine a day - that's not even one cup of coffee in my world. I so enjoyed my second cup this morning.
- Being able to have a glass of wine - and more than one when necessary - with holiday dinners. Nothing brings out the semi-alcoholic in me like a family dinner.
- Being able to enjoy a beer with a football game. Something about football makes me crave chicken wings and Corona. Football season is coming to a close, but it sure was nice to partake of the beer this last Saturday.
- Being able to take Nyquil when I’m sick. For the first week of my cold, I wasn’t sure if I was pregnant or not, so I couldn’t take anything but Robitussin (the only cold medicine on my “drugs approved for pregnancy” list). That stuff does nothing for me. I was almost happy to see that “Not Pregnant” as I tossed the stick and reached for the Nyquil.
I love looking on the bright side...makes for a happy day.
