I got a free book as part of a program offered by our insurance company. One of the sections I was reading stood out to me. I've been trying to enjoy these last few months as a mom of one. I realize that never again will I have only one child and that starting some time in July Lily will have to share me. I'm not trying to sound super serious but it's something I've been thinking about. So I'm just trying to cherish each day with her.
Here's what the book said that started me on this train of thought:
This month marks the end of the second trimester of pregnancy. Things will undoubtedly be exciting during the last three months until your baby arrives, but they'll also likely be a bit stressful. You'll be busy buying final supplies, finishing your baby's room, attending childbirth classes (nope) and making more frequent visits to your health care provider. Plus, the last three months of pregnancy will bring new physical demands on your body.
Make an effort to enjoy this month of your pregnancy - before the craziness and discomforts of the final months begin. Take some time to think about your pregnancy thus far and write down your thoughts in a journal (or blog). Play soft music or talk soothingly and lovingly to your baby. Take photos so that you can show your baby what you looked like when he was "under construction." Do whatever works for you to revel in the emotions and sensations of being pregnant. They'll be gone in just a few short months.
