As for the drama, I try my darnedest to just stay out of it. I was really tempted to comment on some childish behavior I saw today but resisted the urge. Participating in it can only make it worse, from my perspective.
That is AWESOME ADVICE! (Thumbs up) =-)

Mommy to a wonderful ds, age 7
Baby #2 and #3 m/c December 2009, and December 2011
After all the talk for the first tri board... I went over there and checked it out to see what the drama is about... OMG... I'm sticking with the July board! I read through the christian women and epi thread... WOWZERS... That's some crazy stuff over there! LOL
Due date July 22, 2012!! WAHOO!!!
I've been married since Sept 18, 2010 and love married life!
On the peanut thing... I was never told to avoid peanuts when I was pregnant with DD or DS. With DD, I ate them some, but with DS, I ate a TON, while pregnant and then while nursing. Trail mix was one of my very favorite treats, and I used to constantly hit up our local frozen yogurt place and get froyo topped with loads of Reese's PB cups, Butterfinger, etc. I also took Prometrium (progesterone supplements) due to low progesterone early in my pregnancy, and I just recently found out that Prometrium is made with peanut oil.
He was diagnosed with a peanut allergy earlier this year. I try not to blame myself, but I have to wonder.
I've been peanut-free since then, because he's still nursing and his doctor said that even a trace amount of peanut exposure can decrease his chances of outgrowing the allergy. I plan to be peanut-free for this entire pregnancy and however long this baby nurses, too. Just in case.
Fast food, on the other hand... yeah, I don't eat it all that much, but I've been craving Cane's chicken fingers like none other these past few weeks! I try to limit myself to once a week because it is soooooooooo bad, but oh, it taste sooooooooooo good
Mommy to DD1 (June 2007), DS (January 2010), DD2 (July 2012), and The Next One (EDD 3/31/2015)
