I'm on week 7, kid number 2, and the second time around isn't any easier. I had my first child 7 years ago and thought I would somehow be stronger during the second pregnancy...wrong, wrong, wrong! You are my hero for putting yourself out there!!! Congratulations on your baby boy. I'm looking forward to seeing the pictures. When I take my first sip (gulp) of whiskey after several months of sobriety I will be thinking of this blog and raise my glass to you! Teresa, thank you for this blog.

Just make sure you plan a night out with the girls about 6 weeks after delivering. Make sure they know you need alcohol, xanax & nicotine to be present. (Don't forget to pump PLENTY before you go) Best of luck to you! You will make a marvelous Mother! MUAH! Hang in there sweetie, I know it’s rough, but it’s well worth the wait.

Up until last week from week 5 my head was in the toilet constantly while everyone around me smoked, drank, took meds and I just wanted to knock them all in the head. I do miss sleeping at night and wish I could have a cocktail and a cigarette pretty much on a daily basis what makes me angry is when people point out the obvious " you just can't do it cause you are pregnant, so deal with it" well F you people, I should be allowed to complain and if you don't like it too damn bad, make sure not to see me when you are pregnant.

I am a mom to a 2 1/2 year old boy, and will never tire of hearing other people's hilarious experiences with their own "alien invasion"! Having a baby is the best fodder for self-deprication and an appreciation of the absurd! My only advice to expecting or new moms is to 1) always laugh at yourself and enjoy the humbling, exciting, neurotic, maddening, euphoric and chaotic experience of it all...even when you're losing your mind; and 2) surround yourself with people who know how to laugh and reassure you that whatever you're doing is working just fine!

You guys were such a bright spot in my commute home after dropping off my daughter at school. I got such a guilty pleasure knowing I listened to public broadcasting on the drive with my daughter in the car, and the Adam Corolla Show on the way home! I'm thrilled to have found your blog and will enjoy keeping up with your posts. As for the drugs and chemicals in pregnancy -- I can relate! I used to have what I called "sin dreams" throughout my pregnancy. I'd have the most vivid, hedonistic dreams about smoking cigarettes (and other things), drinking, eating, not to mention sex. Oh my god the dreams I had about sex! It was cathartic on the one hand, disturbing on the other. Reconciling who we are as we "gestate" (would love to help you in finding a better phrase for the mom-to-be, but alas...) with who we were before we started the journey to motherhood is something most women face, I think, although we don't often give voice to it. Congratulations to you, my dear. I know you wanted this for a while. May you enjoy your beauty, your body, and your changing role all through the journey of motherhood. Don't hesitate to drop me a line if I can help you. Cheers, Tara at Maternitique.com Ah, Teresa, I miss listening to you in the morning with Adam!

You won't be pregnant for the rest of your life (of course, you might feel like you will some days!) You know you're doing the right thing - bite the bullet! But if the road really gets too rocky, there are things your doc can give you. You just need to ask. Hang in there.

Comfy and really neat feeling when they fill up with milk. I really liked the Lansinoh breast pads. Comfy and really neat feeling when they fill up with milk.
