What would Cameron do....: Things to avoid when you are going into labor...

The reason I started this blog...

Two years ago, I was flying on a plane to take my son out to visit college prospects. I'm a nervous flyer, so I started reading an article in a magazine about Cameron Diaz. Now, I had never really thought about her other than being in movies, some good, some not so good. But, after reading the article, I was inspired! She does a lot of fun things! It basically said that she never says no to any kind of fun. I wondered what would happen if I started being more like that. I started incorporating the phrase "What would Cameron do?" into my daily life and I have to say, it has made a huge difference. So this blog is basically about me trying to be a more positive person and do things that initially inspire fear, but make my life more exciting! Kind of like the movie "Yes, Man"...but more realistic since I am somebody's mother and I have to plow through those piles of laundry and unload the dishwasher occasionally...Hope you enjoy my journey!

Things to avoid when you are going into labor...

Anything labeled spicy, hot, Cajun, jerk, four alarm, extra chunky, or high fiber. Foods containing corn, peas, hot peppers, jalapenos, habaneros, any and all types of beans, including but not limited to pinto, lima, black, red, kidney, Boston baked and Mexican jumping. Any products containing psyllium, flax seed, hemp, rope, netting, barbed wire, fishhooks, and/or blow darts. The old adage, "what goes in, must come out", will never be more apparent to you as your baby's head is delivering. Your nurse can and will overcome anything, however, your partner will be with you forever...
