Oh yes, more from the New York Times on mothers and drinking…they do adore this topic. This time the dish was a first-person view of drinking (in moderation, of course) while pregnant by Julia Moskin. And let’s please give her credit, big time – for her honesty and candor. She chronicles her desire to move away from the myriad of pregnancy rules and look for proof. This is mighty bold, considering the chilly chill chill in the air these days:

Pregnant women are told that danger lurks everywhere: listeria in soft cheese, mercury in canned tuna, salmonella in fresh-squeezed orange juice. Our responsibility for minimizing risk through perfect behavior feels vast.

I do believe this there is a wee bit of irony here - no? The public cares about (UNDERSTATEMENT) pregnancy but not about motherhood? I am, as I keep saying lately, confussed…

So maybe we should not be looking out for bumps but rather for lines (and no I don’t mean the ones on the EPT test). As I have long said – I will buy that Nicole Kidman is pregnant when her face moves – weeeeeeeeeeeeellllllll, Page Six reports today that Nicole is both trying with Husband Keith Urban and also has changed her haircut to include bangs. Talk about pre-conception planning!!!

Page Six is reporting yet another expectant Dad.
Donny Deutsch will join Team Bugaboo this June. He is expecting his first child and I would expect to see him suddenly wake up and smell the target market any day now….
