Bethenny's trying a second season on for size

Bethenny Frankel's never been one to hold back, so it's no surprise that "Bethenny Getting Married" was filled with raucous and hilarious moments. Prepare yourself for another salacious season (Season 2 of the newly-retitled "Bethenny Ever After" premieres Monday, February 28) by reliving Bethenny's ten craziest moments.
Baby on Board
There is nothing more heartwarming than bringing your newborn
home from the hospital -- until you can't get the baby out of the car.
Proving that it takes a village to raise a child (or at least to get
said baby out of the vehicle), Jason and Bethenny had to call for
assistance, and, naturally, hilarity ensued. After trying to give tips
over the phone, Gina arrived and rescued baby Bryn in one fell swoop.
It's Five o'Clock Somewhere
Baby nurse Gina is always quick to dispense her wisdom without
mincing words, but her quickness in dispensing a beer to a nursing
Bethenny was unexpected. Bethenny was quick to quaff, since she'd been
jonesing for alcohol, but Jason had some questions about how the brew
affects breast-feeding. In the end, though, his main question to
Bethenny was, "Can you share some of that Blue Moon?"

Food for Thought
A pregnant lady is allowed only so many vices, so Bethenny has to
find joy where she can: eating. We have to commend her gusto in
ordering (and her insistence that the waiter leave the menu, just in
case). Most of all, we adore that she owned up to replacing booze with
food, quipping, "There is not that much sex. There's not any booze. This
is food time. Food is porn."
Dare to Bare
She's stripped for PETA, so shedding clothes for a few spicy photos for Jason should have been a breeze. But when Bethenny decided to have a nude pregnancy photo shoot at her apartment as a sexy gift for Jason, it wasn't the sensual affair the photos projected, with Bethenny in a bathrobe and then contorting herself on her bed. The shots turned out amazing, though, at least according to Jason.

I See London
Intern Max has always been a go-getter, so when Bethenny needed
some post-pregnancy lingerie, he had no problem doing the shopping.
However, his inability to guess her size (and explain why he had been in
Bethenny's lingerie drawer) took his lingerie-buying spree to a
too-intimate place. Take this advice, Max: Always tend to the smaller
side when buying a lady underwear.

Ramontional Moments
A visit from Bethenny's former "Real Housewives of New York City" cast mate Ramona Singer was bound to provide good times, particularly when the ladies broach the topic of sex. But what's wild about this moment isn't the tawdry talk; it's the fact that, perhaps for the first time, Ramona became so bashful she was speechless. C'mon Ramona, we know you and Mario get down.
Getting the Skinny
Skinnygirl goes skinny-dipping? When Bethenny and Jason finally made it to their honeymoon, it all came full circle, with them hopping in the pool in the buff. But in typical Bethenny fashion, the swim was just as hilarious as it was hot, with her ranting that her pregnant body looked like "Humpty Dumpty fat on a wall," while Jason proved he adores her pregnancy body, even if she "grew since last night." Also amazing: the introduction of Iggy, the iguana and honeymoon mascot.

The Lizard King
We did say "wild," because we meant wildlife. One of the season's greatest moments had Bethenny and Jason returning from a day at the beach to a romantic gift of iguana droppings from honeymoon mascot Iggy. The ensuing cleanup and quest to find interloper Iggy was exactly the sort of romantic escapade every girl dreams of, complete with Jason wiping up the offensive poop and Bethenny commending him on a job well done.
Rubbin' It In
There's nothing especially wild about a man helping another man
put on some sunscreen, but Max's commentary ("We're going to be on every
gay website") and awkward stance made this sun-safety moment a touch
salacious. The resulting lather session was a beautiful moment in manly
friendship -- just two bros ensuring they didn't get too much sun.

There's a Hole in the Bucket
Perhaps the most oddball and delightful moment came mere moments
before the season's big event. Bethenny was all set to walk down the
aisle, and everything was perfect (thanks to her wedding planner
Shawn). The only snafu: The path to the bathroom would take Bethenny
past all the guests. Combine that with the temperamental bladder of a
pregnant lady, and you're bound to have some issues. Good thing Bethenny
had friends (and a bucket) she can depend on. Shawn and Julie held the
bucket while Bethenny relieved herself, keeping her wedding dress
secret, and bonding the three of them together forever.
