Congratulate Me! I'm Pre-pregnant!

This is a new way to look at life before the youngin's start popping out. The CDC is recommending all women of child-bearing age treat themselves as pre-pregnant whether they plan to have children or not. The idea being treating yourself as pre-pregnant is a healthy way to live: not smoking, taking folic acid, maintaining a healthy weight, etc. And of course if you get pregnant and don't know it, you could be doing damage to the fetus with your smokin' and boozin'.

Makes sense I guess. Half of all pregnancies are unplanned according to the article. Still, there's something creepy about preparing for Baby when you don't know when or if Baby's ever going to come.

Anyway, it's good advice to be sure. But as Alice said, I often give myself very good advice, but I very seldom follow it.
