Many stores where the mother registers are now giving out blank baby shower invitations. Or, the hostess can spend a little more and have the cards professionally made, such as is done for a wedding. Generally, though, the kind found in stores are perfectly acceptable and very cute! Or you or your hostess could make your own invitations.

Instead of naming your son after his father or your daughter after her mother, try using the opposite name for the opposite sex. Victor and Nikki would name their children Victoria and Nicholas (For you Young and the Restless fans!)

If you feel sick to your stomach after working out while pregnant, you have probably built up too much lactic acid in your stomach. Cool down and realx for a while and if the nausea persists, call your doctor or midwife.

Relieve your smell-related sickness when eating or cooking by turning on the exhaust fan or opening a window to keep the smells to a minimum.
