I'm generally feeling much more relaxed - like whatever is going to happen is going to happen, no need to worry about it - and the changes feel a lot less significant. Last time I felt ENORMOUS with the bloating, but this time I'm kind of like, eh, baby is the size of the tip of a pen, and I am nowhere near the whale I am going to be by the time all this is through.![]()

That's also a good one, if you have someone you can do that with at any rate. I am personally okay with a small glass of wine later on, but not in the first tri. So much is developing right now.

Basil - Here is some of the reasoning for skipping green tea: http://www.babycenter.com.my/pregnancy/nutrition/foodsafety/greenteaexpert/
Basically, it inhibits the absorption of folic acid, which is very necessary for the baby, especially early on.

But you knew your ovulation date with Hunter, right? Did the doctor not believe you? I know the exact day I conceived so at the first appointment, I just fudged my LMP date a bit.
