I’ve just discovered your website today (thanks to Foodgawker, I think) and read about your pregnancy worries. I’m going to chime in here and agree with many of your other commenters. All of those tests done during pregnancy are great BUT they sure add to your stress levels! We were also told during our first pregnancy that there was a chance of a problem based on our ultrasound and so I spent the last number of months on pins and needles… and in the end, everything was fine. During my second pregnancy I vowed to avoid tests and ignore any suggestions of problems and my second pregnancy was so much more calm and peaceful.
Live and learn, as always.
I’m really enjoying your website, have bookmarked a number of recipes to try including Baked Ziti. I’ve never had Baked Ziti but when I used to watch The Sopranos they were always talking about it. My husband will be excited to finally taste it!!
All the best to you and thanks for sharing your life and your recipes.
Oh, and as for family members… appreciate the ones you have and don’t worry about the others. No doubt good friends will make up for lack of family… again, I speak from experience!!

Aw geez, I’m crying. I had a high-risk pregnancy and bedrest, and ended up with a spectacularly healthy, perfect baby boy. Well, a baby who is 12. I do know how wrenching that kind of worry is, and I am so happy for all three of you that I don’t think anything will bring me down today.
