In anticipation of beginning my 3rd trimester next week…

Things in this pregnancy at which I have not done so well with:

  • Drinking enough water
  • Eating a variety of foods (the usuals are just so easy after a long day of work)
  • Sleeping (maybe I'll get some sleep in a few years from now...)
  • Talking to the baby
  • Maintaining the “cute pregnant” look (consistently mani/pedi’ed, coiffed, and sufficiently made-up...it's overrated)
  • Coming up with potential names for the baby
  • Being OK with people rubbing on my belly

Things in this pregnancy at which I have succeeded:

  • Getting enough calcium. I could drink 2 gallons of milk by myself, every week.
  • Not gaining more than 25 lbs. (at least I'm on target to only gain that much....)
  • Walking/exercising most days of the week
  • Remaining relatively calm and stress free
  • Never asking Matt to leave the house at 2am for pickles or any other random food
  • Reading just about everything I can related to pregnancy, labor and birth
  • Eating
  • Thinking about eating
  • Pretty much anything related to eating
  • Not missing wine *too* much
  • Building a solid home foundation
  • Remembering to savor each day, because I’ll only be pregnant with my first child once
  • Remembering that I am the only person, right now, in the whole world that gets to feel every single kick, bump, thud & hiccup this baby makes
