Oh my goodness, that's gorgeous.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Oh good, that's what I think. I mean, it looks like something I'd be ridiculously excited to get and would wear around all Christmas day, but I wanted to see if other people felt that way.

Now tagless for your comfort.
It's very pretty, Emily!

When I was pregnant with Nick, my doctor told me I could drink a beer every night to relax.
when my mom was pregnant, her doctor told her to have a glass of sherry at night to help her sleep. maybe that's why I'm nuts. I mean, I'm smart, but i'm crazy

She is crazy, look at all those crazy 8's.
I gotta run to Home Depot. See ya later.
Parting note: I just finished showering and noted again that this summer I have finally acquired grey hair at my temples. This may seem silly to some, but it just makes me giddy. I love it. The eyesight failing and the weight issues bug me about my age, but everything else is just fine. I embrace my grey hair and wrinkles! Bring it on old age!

If I only had a brain...
I think I first heard about this whole thing in an article about the book, that people would hear about FAS and conclude that if many drinks could do that, then even one must be bad.
That's exactly it. Women find out they are pregnant, think "Shit, I went on a bender two weeks ago, this baby is SO fucked". They feel terrible. They drink to forget how guilty they feel.
This isn't a good result. This isn't the message my researcher wanted out there.

That's a beautiful coat, Emily.
that people would hear about FAS and conclude that if many drinks could do that, then even one must be bad.
And conversely, if people hear it's okay to have a drink or two a week, they might conclude it's okay to have a drink or two an hour. Moderation is hard for some people.

Emily, that coat is lovely. I can picture Betsy beating your mother up and taking it.
Either the fact anyone got born healthy before 2000 is a miracle, or people are being overcautious because you don't want to be the *one* person who killed or maimed her baby by eating a slice of baloney and sipping a beer.
There's a book out that I didn't buy, but flipped through in the pregnancy section, basically about taking the paranoia out of pregnancy, and suggesting that women not blindly give up everything under the sun. Of course, the OB who wrote it was a guy.
(Things I had before I knew I was pregnant, for the record: sushi, cold cuts, undercooked eggs, sangria, a lot of coffee, and a small amount of tequila.)
