Hi everyone...
Boy, thanks again for all the response, positive and negative, it's all helpful. My husband said his mom smoked thru both his and his brothers pregnacy, and both turn out to be fine men with no health problems.

But, for me... gotta take the cautious path, I'm fighting the need to have a cig... I think Im getting there, but it is difficult. I started eating sunflower seeds... seems to keep me busy so I dont think about it as much. I do slip once in a while and take a few puffs.. but I quickly put it out and curse at myself. Still fighting that demon. Went out and bought more seeds this morning.

As far as pot... yep, had a vaporizor, in the back of a closet, that I pulled out. Still works : ) and I've been successful in cutting back on my pot intake too. Just a few hits of the vap. in the morning, and again at night to help me sleep.

I just wanted to give ya a status report. And note that all the comments, even the bit hateful ones, can be constructive, shame and contempt are sometimes great motivators. But to the people that offer positive and supportive statements, thank you specifically, it's nice to know there are people out there that have gone thru this and can give honest uplifting comments without condeming my soul for my ignorance or inexperience.

I'm 2000 miles away from my family and friends and have to rely on books and what little resources I have here. My husband is trying to be supportive, but as most women know... he's even more clueless than I am. We are hardworking people, just trying to get thru this new experience the best we can.

Thanks again for all the support and I'll keep ya up to date as best I can. I've got my 2nd obgyn appointment Thursday. my husband is coming with me to this one, to see the sonogram of his son. If he doesn't pass out, Im hoping it will be as emotional for him as it was for me last month.
