It's the Christmas season and mum wants to celebrate just like everyone else. But, I wont let her.
That's right; she isn't allowed to drink a drop of alcohol.
Now this is amazingly difficult when everyone around you:
- is drinking, and
- doesn't know your pregnant.
Mum tried to pretend by drinking orange juice and cocoa cola. Many people assumed there was some alcohol in these drinks so it appeared to work.
Well, until someone kindly shouted a round. Then she had to say she was slowing down a bit and would like an unmixed drink. That wasn't received well and many people just thought she was weird.
Ahhh, but she did try to sneak one past me. But she didn't succeed. Two sips and I knew. And I let her know the only way I could. She felt really really sick.
That'll teach her!

You Can't Eat That!
That's right, folks.
The list of food that you can't eat is amazing.
For those that are health nuts it's very interesting what you are not allowed to eat. For example, no soft or blue veined cheese. That's right no brie, cambert, etc. Where am I going to get my calcium? Cheddar?!
We're told these days that we should all eat oily fish for the omega 3's. Not so if you are carrying a little bundle of joy. Some sites say 1 portion a week whilst others say none.
"Don't eat foods containing raw or partially cooked eggs, such as homemade mayonnaise, and some mousses and sauces. Only eat eggs if they’re cooked until both the white and the yolk are solid."
This means no cheesecake! No runny yolk on your eggs as part of the traditional fry up. No patatoe salad nor coleslaw.
Oh yes, one last thing. NO CAFFEINE. Now that's generally ok cause mum doesn't drink much coffee but it also means no TEA. Tea has caffeine so no more hot drinks. Furthermore, chocolate has caffeine. That's right for my chocoholic mother it means none of that sweeeeeeet sweeeeet delicacy.
She won't survive. But I have a plan. I've decided to encourage her to stick to the above.
How, you might ask, could I (a peanut) do this? I'll make her sick each time she even thinks about eating those nasty foods. Yep, that's what I've done.
She can't stomach anything that's not savoury.
Ha ha. The peanut rules!
