Thirteen Things about
Things I should have avoided whilst pregnant
There’s many a parent raked by guilt with sleepless nights full of ‘what ifs’ and ‘if onlys.’ Here are a few of those thoughts.
1. I should have rigged up the microwave with crime scene tape.
2. I should never have knitted that baby blanket. I’m sure I poked something crucial.
3. Hair dye and vanity, that’s all I’m going to say on the subject.
4. I knew that cell phone was a mistake. Surely I fried every functioning brain cell too.
5. Orders to ‘rest’ should be accompanied with a free pass to a baby sitter.
6. They did warn me about Caesar Salad but I couldn’t resist the craving for anchovies.
7. I should never have drunk the water and breathed the air in Silicon Valley.
8. I blame the blue cheese myself although I swear it was only a crumb or two.
9. I should have made him swear that the fruit punch only contained fruit and no hidden punches. Can you trust anyone these days?
10. I blame the YMCA. It was a mistake to take that Aerobics instructor course.
11. I should have had those metal filling ripped out pre-pregnancy but hindsight is always 20-20. I wonder why it wasn’t covered by my medical insurance?
12. Alternatively I could blame the hospital. How stupid to give a warning about carrying heavy objects! What newly born object doesn’t want to be carried!
13. Yes, regrets, I have more than a few. If I had my time over, I would do things differently. For my baby shower gift I’d have fessed up and asked for a “laminater.”
So nip on over and “click” to do you little “bit.” I’m always happy to complain about “food” but in the great scheme of things, I for one, should know “better.”
Although I usually benefit hugely from a jolly good moan.

When I start getting into that mode, I often think I shouldn’t have been teaching where I was. Very high stress environment and I was always on hyper alert. But I won’t take this any further or I’ll be stuck on that road for the rest of the day.
Have a marvelous day!

I agree whole-heartedly on #5. How on earth am I supposed to be on “light activity” with periods of daily rest while I’m taking care of (and homeschooling) two extremely active boys? Dr. Sir, allow me to fall down laughing now, yes? And there is something in my DNA that doesn’t allow me to let the laundry linger and fester until someone shows up to carry the basket downstairs for me. Or to ignore the dirty toilets. So perhaps in addition to a free pass to the babysitter, they should pass out coupons for maid services as well. Sigh.

Mmmm- I loooooved the blue cheese when I was pregnant! I ate a lot of rich, unhealthy salads with egg, blue cheese, and ranch dressing! (And a few vegetables thrown in.)

Ahh, the list, yes, I have a similar list. Let’s burn our lists, shall we?

Should have sat back, stretched out on the couch, and snoozed a good long time! (that never happening these days…..)

We all have a list, don’t we? Sorry I havn’t really been around but I have been reading when I’m able.

I regret not ever getting pregnant, and now it is too late! : (

Yes, laminators are wonderful! I think I will send it to all the new moms I know. They might look at me funny now, but they will be thanking me in a couple of years.
When I was pregnant, the one thig I should never have done was drink milk while eating crabs. Everybody knows that’s fatal. At least, it is according to my granny.

I should have never reached up for the subway strap; everyone knows that wraps the cord around the baby’s neck!
