top reasons not to attend your dream concert when 8 months pregnant...

  • Most of the evening is spent running to the bathroom -- and those bathrooms are pretty nasty.
  • It's very difficult to achieve the level of cuteness you've come to expect of yourself when attending concerts.
  • A cold beer looks even more delicious in the heat and humidity -- but is very off-limits.
  • Swollen ankles make it impossible to stand up for the entire concert, but everyone else will.
  • It's a long hike from the parking lot to the concert venue.
  • You'll be exhausted before the main act even hits the stage.
  • You will wonder with some concern if your baby's hearing is being impacted by the volume of the music, even though the doctor assured you it's not.
My mom and I attended a Brad Paisley/Dierks Bentley concert on July 26. It was fun, but I definitely learned my lesson -- I'll go see them again when I'm NOT pregnant.

Brad P and Dierks are two of my faves. Unreal that you didn't get to enjoy a cold beer (or several) while enjoying their show! Alas, pregnancy is brutal, but fortunately, it's very temporary. Be healthy, have that baby, and go see those guys in concert again WITH A BEER this time! Cheers my friend! John
