I'll take a mojito with extra limes, please! I could use a drink. I haven't had a drink in over a year. Now I could definitely go for a few mojitos. Maybe some mint juleps, too!! YUM!

Could you imagine giving birth at a time like this? Why in the world would anyone want to get pregnant now? :crazy:

I am assuming at least some of the pregnancies will be unplanned.
