Pickles and ice cream have nothing onSarah Shahi.
“We would try to go out to restaurants and ended up leaving because nothing sounds as good as my potato,” she recalls. “It was a mountain of a potato!”
Although husbandSteve Howeythought she was “nuts,” he too became a fan once he tried her creation.
Cravings aside, Sarah’s hormones have been mostly in check. “I’m nowhere near what the stereotype is,” she says.
Every expectant mother has her moments, however! Sarah admits,
“The freezer drawer had come off its wheels and I couldn’t get it back on to shut the drawer. I worked on it for a half an hour! Steve comes home and I’m sitting on the kitchen floor, in front of the freezer, crying, saying ‘Why is this happening to me? Why?’ Ahh, pregnancy.”
Noting that a dad’s only real job during pregnancy is to “make sure the mother is happy,” Sarah says that Steve has been a trooper: “Basically, he’s had to come to terms with whatever I say during these 40 weeks, goes!”
As for her own parental instincts, Sarah says she felt like a mom “the moment the stick turned blue.”
“Something in you just switches. You definitely don’t come first anymore.”
Sarah has been making the most of that time already, talking to her bump early and often!
“I believe they have huge amounts of awareness and instinct even then,” she explains. “I can’t wait to meet this little human that’s been in my belly. We’re curious to see what he looks like. Is that vain?”
Even if it were, vanity isn’t behind Sarah’s ongoing commitment to physical fitness.
“I believe in taking care of your body, especially when you’re pregnant, because it’s not just about you,” she says. “Studies have show that mommies who exercise during pregnancy have more responsive, quicker babies.”
That said, although she often feels “like a house” Sarah finds a way to walk five miles 3-to-5 times a week, as well as swim.
“Whatever our child’s interests are, that’s what we will help him pursue. I believe in keeping children busy and active in different activities, basically whatever they gravitate towards. I don’t think it’s good to give kids too much down time. Kids need to be productive.”
They also need to have “an appreciation” for things, Sarah opines. “They shouldn’t expect toys or McDonalds every time they go out, but there should be a balance,” she explains. “I think it’s also important not to deny your children either.”
“Listen to me talk! What do I know?! Ask me in a year!”
