Tip of the Week

Pregnancy is a mystery.  Sure, we read the books, talked to friends, took health in 9th grade.  But, I have some news...the books, friends, and teacher don't tell you everything.  So, while I will refrain from telling you anything that will make you say "TMI" (although don't worry sisters...I'll be your biggest Girlfriend when this time comes for you), we do want to pass along some Expecting Parents Advice.

Our Tip of the Week:  Husbands don't let your wives do the grocery shopping, especially not alone, and especially not while hungry.

Allow me to let you in on a pregnant woman's secret - it's called CRAVINGS and it starts early (at least for me).  The weird thing about cravings is whatever sounds good is the ONLY thing that sounds good, but that urgent, got to have it now craving that I'm convinced turns you into something closer to an animal that human, can change at any given time.  So, aisles and aisle filled of deliciously appetizing food, makes a pregnant woman's taste buds go CRAZY!!!  You wouldn't think that Peanut Butter sandwiches, Veggie Delight pizza, Nachos, Banana split, Mint Dibs, and a salted cucumber could every sound good together, but trust me...it can...and just forget about trying to rationalize not buying all of the above.  Next thing you know you're at home surrounded by your grocery bags full of food that no longer sounds appetizing consoling yourself of all the money you just spent with the brick of cheese and loaf of bread in your fridge that may or may not be moldy.  Moral of the story: Stacy is banned from grocery stores for the next 9 months.
