Find: Stroller

I love this Quinny Stroller. The Buzz has an automatic fold out system. Some features: comes complete with a sun canopy, rainshield, bug net, and shopping basket, has a removable seating pad that makes the roomy seat extra squish, has an adjustable handlebar, and automatically unfolds. Definitely worth the investment.

Pregnancy Diet, What's Safe and What Isn't?


10 Things you should be aware of, I didn't know all of these. From American Baby:

1) Stay away from soft cheeses. They often contain listeria which can be harmful to your pregnancy. Check for the word pasteurized, if it's not then skip it.
2) Avoid deli meat from the counter, but you can eat it if it is heated up. It too might contain bacteria (listeria.)
3) Watch out for high mercury fish like swordfish, tilefish, king mackerel, orange roughy, grouper, tuna steaks, saltwater bass, and canned solid white albacore tuna. But don't steer clear completely "many varieties, like salmon, herring, and sardines, contain heart-healthy omega-3 fatty acids including DHA, which research shows may boost fetal brain development."
4) Watch out for sushi, it might contain bacteria. Fully cooked fish not on the "do not" list is ok.
5) Make sure your eggs aren't runny or raw. Salmonella can be in runny or raw eggs.
6) Steer clear of too much caffeine. It can increase risk of miscarriage. You son't have to cut it out, just limit your intake.
7) No Sweet'N Low, but you can have artificial sweeteners, in moderation, you don't want saccharine.
8) Check your herbal tea ingredients and ask your doctor if there's anything in it you should avoid. Some herbs act like drugs, not all.
9) Watch out for spicy food, it can cause major heartburn, especially during pregnancy.
10) Alcohol (obviously) is unsafe for pregnant women, don't risk it.
