My in-laws told me this one. It made sense but I didn't truly understand it until the 2nd kid:
Kids are not as breakable as you think.
Anyway, don't put too much effort into it. You should enjoy the experience and not sweat the details. Plus, everything they told you not to eat/drink five years ago is o.k. now. Everything they tell you not to eat/drink will be o.k. again in five years. For our first, we tried to do all of the "right things', it just became tedious and a chore. When my wife got pregnant a second time (we planned for this one), we just let nature take its course.
That being said, the doctor's appt.'s are the most important. That is really how you get to track how things are going.
We were never asked about eating habits, drinking habits, etc. Our dr. was great, she was a realist.
And I congratulate you one your choice. My wife is a stay-at-home mom as well and wouldn't go back to work for anything.
