		<description>I say calm down about gaining so much weight during your pregnancy. This is the one time everyone gives you a pass for gaining weight. If I ever decide to have children, my master plan is to eat tons of avocados, pesto, and salmon during my pregnancy so my child will love all the foods I love. hehe. Does that really work?</description>

		<description>You tot&#039;s look like a mum in that picture. 
Also, that sandwich-fuelled crisis involved more thoughts then I&#039;ve ever had.</description>

		<description>You still look hot in that grainy picture. Anyway. Yes take a parenting class. Don&#039;t feel like you will just know things. You wont. I wish I had. Instead my first child was the test kid. And she is fine. SHe is four but it would have been a lot, lot better if I had taken a class. Don&#039;t be too proud to ask for help.</description>

		<description>Hi, 

I called the Carolla show once to offer to coach you through writing your book--I&#039;m a writing teacher--but I had to go teach before Adam stopped talking long enough to get me on. I&#039;m sure that was the plight of many callers.

I&#039;m writing today to tell you to stop being so hard on yourself, which is advice I know you won&#039;t, and probably can&#039;t, take. But, it needs to be said. You&#039;ve not only got your normal brain and all it&#039;s functions (and dysfunctions), but you&#039;ve got it on steroids (or hormones, as the case may be.) The worries and the self-reflection are part of the pregnancy process as they help us reflect on how we are bringing this baby into the world and what kind of world we&#039;re bringing it into. Normal. You&#039;re normal. And those crazy who write the books about perfectness are abnormal. 

You don&#039;t need a layette or half the other crap you&#039;ll register for, but you should get a doula. I can recommend one if you&#039;d like to interview her.

Take care of yourself by being less hard on yourself.

		<description>Hey there,

I don&#039;t know if this is the place to write to you, but I was listening to your Carolla podcast from the other day and wanted to tell you that writing a book proposal sucks ass, but once you sell it writing of the book is cake. It took me a year to write my the proposal for my first book - and three weeks to write the book. And the best part? I didn&#039;t have to write no stinking proposal for the second one. 

I unheart book proposals, best of luck to you on yours. Look forward to seeing your book on the shelves soon.

		<description>Teresa, you&#039;re hot AND fat, but listen, there&#039;s a whole person in that belly so I think that&#039;s pretty freaking acceptable. 
PS- I&#039;ve actually seen you in real life and you&#039;re hot there too. But sorry, I won&#039;t be kissing your belly all night long like Phil. 
PPS- When little Caleb comes out, I expect he will be hot too. :)</description>
