Being pregnant is great, but there are some things that I really miss.

Of course, there is the standard list of “don’ts” that I miss being able to just have whenever I want:

Bleu Cheese

Sushi

Beer and Wine (although N.A. Beer is a pretty good substitute to tide me over until it’s OK to tie one on again!)

Brie Cheese

Muscle Relaxers (when I get a knot in my back and just want to knock it out immediately)

Large doses of coffee on those mornings when I am so fatigued I could just roll over and die (although there is decaf for any other day)

Oh, and speaking of sweet energy-imparting elixir…

Why is there no substitute for Monster?  Why does it have to say not for pregnant women and children?  Whaaaaaaaa!!!!

Lo-carb Monster, I miss you SO MUCH!!!!!
