As I sit here and recap the last 48 hours spent in southern New Mexico, I think about how often work and work related event revolve around the consumption of alcohol. And how odd or left out I sometimes feel as I sit there enjoying my glass of water or iced tea. Not that I mind the sacrifice – trust me it is very much worth it and in no way would I want to compromise the wellbeing or health of our child, but when put in the situation where all of your coworkers are imbibing and seem to be loosening up and able to enjoy themselves just a little more, I felt a little like the odd (wo)man out. While there are other times in which a tasty micro-brew or a delicious glass of wine would have truly topped off my day, this was the very first time that I really felt the difference between pre-pregnancy and now. Oh well – its only nine months, it’s a small part of my life and feeling a little awkward or left out is totally worth it to know that I am taking one more step to ensure the health and wellbeing of our little cockeye.
