Now I know
admin April 29th, 2007
At least I know about the pregnancy. I’m not pregnant, I just was mysteriously a week late. In the grand scheme of things this is probably a positive development, but my husband has to listen to me coo over every little chubby cheeked babe I see. (Who is this woman I have become? I do not recognize her.) It is nice that he likes them too. That will probably come in handy… It also seems that springtime brings not only nice weather, flowers, and baby chicks, but pregnancy announcements too. In the last week, I have received announcements of one birth and three pregnancies. I don’t even have a good reason to be jealous, but I seem to be that way anyway.
In other news, to celebrate our continued status as just a couple (and not prospective parents) my husband and I have decided to take a nice little vacation. Being that this vacation will coincide nicely our family planning time line, I have decided that this would make a nice procreation trip. The thing is though, I want to be able to drink wine and coffee and eat unprocessed cheese without having to worry about the pregnancy consequences. So I am left with a question. How do I know when I should worry about this? If I eat cheese and drink wine two weeks after conception, is this risky behavior? One week? Three days? I won’t even know if I am pregnant until a week out. How do people on these so called “procreation trips” handle these issues? Do they just not indulge? If there is a time to indulge, I would think that the time would be on the trip. Why don’t they have handbooks for this? Or at least why don’t I have one?
