"Have you guys checked out Christine Coppa&amp;amp;#8217;s blog yet? You&amp;amp;#8217;ve got to. She&amp;amp;#8217;s brand new to the Glamour blogosphere, documenting her life being 26&amp;amp;#8230;and pregnant&amp;amp;#8230;and single&amp;amp;#8230;and living back at home with her parents (and I thought I had issues). It&amp;amp;#8217;s sort of like the real-life Knocked Up, minus the cute slacker dude who comes through in the end (the guy who knocked up Christine split after three months&amp;amp;#8212;nice, right?). The thing I love about the blog: Despite Christine&amp;amp;#8217;s less-than-fairytale situation and whatever regrets she may have (she writes a lot about the importance of safe sex&amp;amp;#8212;hindsight is 20/20, I guess), she&amp;amp;#8217;s embraced her new life 100 percent. She&amp;amp;#8217;s totally in love with her little baby-to-be, seems genuinely excited about being a mother, and is so not a whiner. As somebody who also has a bit of a shadow cast on my pregnancy (um, cancer) I appreciate that if-life-gives-you-lemons-make-lemonade attitude. Here&amp;amp;#8217;s a snippet from her first post: I&amp;amp;#8217;ll be blogging about my Ciao Bella gelato addiction, the new bottles in my life (not Grey Goose, but Playtex), my anti-baby baby shower and how an oversize Marc Jacobs bag can camouflage a bump in two seconds flat&amp;amp;#8212;you know, the basics. At this point, nothing can rock my world more than this little person renting out my uterus. When I get overwhelmed (and I do), the baby kicks at just the right time and sort of says, &amp;amp;#8220;I&amp;amp;#8217;m really cute, you&amp;amp;#8217;re going to love me.&amp;amp;#8221; Since you guys have been so wonderfully supportive of me, I thought you might want to send some of your positive vibes to Christine. It can&amp;amp;#8217;t be easy for her. I mean even though I like to give Nick a hard time, like last night when the Lamaze instructor asked him why he was there and he said&amp;amp;#8212;and this is a direct quote here&amp;amp;#8212;&amp;amp;#8220;Um, to, uh, support her and uh, be there in the, like, hospital room thingy&amp;amp;#8221; I can&amp;amp;#8217;t imagine going through a minute of this without him by my side. OK, check out the blog and let me know what you think! &amp;amp;#8212;Erin"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
