Doctor tells Nicole to avoid pasta while pregnant… uh… not a good idea doc
So Nicole & I go to see the baby doctor every few weeks and on one visit he’s looking at her bloodwork tests and other personal health info on his computer and he exclaims, “Uh-oh!”
Of course, we’re both stunned and thinking something’s wrong. So we say “What?”
He says, “What have you been eating? You’ve gained a few pounds!”
ALERT… ALERT… ALERT… runs through my mind and I of course I tell Nicole, “you look beautiful, don’t listen to this guy.”
OK, OK, I just sat there, knowing we were in a CODE RED NICOLE situation, which means I better not say anything.
So after the doctor successfully dodges Nicole’s first swing, he explains that pregnant women gain weight much faster because of all those “hormony things.” <OK he really said what it was in medical terms, and it had something to do with hormones.>
So he then says pasta and orange juice can really pack on the pounds.
It just so happens, Nicole loves pasta and orange juice.
After we left, she cut back on orange juice and pasta, for about 5 minutes.
No, I’m not as quick as the doctor. Nicole has a vicious right hook.
<Just kidding she let me post this. And yes, she does look beautiful! And today is our engagement anniversary!>

Very funny post James. Don’t know why doctors make such a big deal about what pregnant women eat. I say let em eat whatever they want. And yes, she does look beautiful.
Your eating pasta? Field of vision all I saw were the girls.
You are a beautiful woman and you will be a great mom.
