Weekly wisdom: I was told that pregnant women aren't supposed to lift their arms above their head because it will wrap the umbilical cord around the baby's neck. That seems a bit ridiculous to me. I also got a few unpleasant looks from opting not to take a flu shot....AND I got griped at for lifting my 5 year old nephew, but my thoughts are--what if I had a kid already? Wouldn't I be lifting them or would I just ignore them for 9 months? Ok, that is all.

Happy 17 weeks!!
Umm, I've never heard the don't lift your arms above your head. That seems ridiculous!
I lifted a 35 pound bag of dog food today. Probably shouldn't have done that I guess...
Don't lift a bear... that'd be bad.
I've heard of the "don't lift your arms over your head old wives tale. I actually thought about it everytime I stretched on my tippy toes to reach the top shelf. Maybe that is why Gracyn's umbilical cord was wrapped twice around her neck. But then again...there is no way you can go 40 weeks without lifting your arms over your head. So I agree...it's ridiculous!
