Don't sweat the tuna too much. As a doctor who used to deliver the babies and one who just had a baby, the mercury thing is fine if you're only having 2 or 3 servings a week. And salmon also has mercury, too. Any fish which eats another fish is where the mercury risk is. So salmon, tuna, swordfish, etc. Basically all of those fish who have the awesome fatty acids that promote brain and eye development in babies. So, get your 2 to 3 servings in order to promote that brain and eye development and not much more than that to keep the mercury under control and you'll be fine.
Also, I was a total rebel and I ate soft cheeses. And smoked a cigarette once or twice. And had beer toward the end. Heck, 2 days before I found out I was pregnant I had so much soft french cheese and red wine, it was a miracle this girl was born at all. And she was, and she's fine and beautiful and wonderful.
You'll do fine. I can't wait for our babies to meet.
