I confess I am floored by the financial decisions some people make asserting that they "deserve this." First of all I must have missed all your important contributions to society and humanity as a whole that make you more deserving than other people but regardless, be that as it may, since you don't have the financial means to do this, whether you deserve it or not is really a moot point. You can't afford it!
Thanks to my pregnancy hormones and mommy guilt, I cried in DD's dance class yesterday because she cried, not wanting me to leave her in the room and wait outside. Then the teacher looked all freaked out, and I had to explain I was pregnant and emotional, that I don't normally just cry along with my 5 yo.

I agree completely!!!!! I am, regularly, astounded by this.

I drank some decaf coffee this morning in a hope my body would think it was regular and "perk" up a bit. I confess it didn't help one bit!
I confess I didn't change my coffee drinking habits at all while I was/am pregnant, except for part of the 1st trimester when the smell would send me over the edge. I despised people telling me how awful I was for drinking coffee, and how I was going to create a hyper baby. DD has been a great sleeper and a mellow baby from day one. Go enjoy the real deal!

At the beach life is different. Time doesn't move hour to hour, but mood to moment.
We live by the currents, plan by the tides and follow the sun.
My doctor said it is perfectly fine to drink 2 cups of coffee a day (literally 2 cups so 16 oz., not 2 coffee sized cups) while pregnant- I don't drink coffee, but I was happy to keep drinking my regular tea!
I agree, I drank regular coffee while pregnant and DD is not a hyper monster. In the first tri I drank less b/c it didn't taste good, but not b/c I was concerned about it.
My confession: I almost cried last night when DD said she was lonely at daycare b/c the boys wouldn't play with her. I'm sure she was overstating to the point of perhaps not factual (once we got more of the story), but my heart almost broke in half hearing those words come out of her little mouth.
Fenway- Ha! If it makes you feel better, I did NOT drink coffee or caffeinated sodas while pregnant, and I ended up with TWO hyper monsters. Maybe that is where I went wrong.
