That was a great post! The life a mom I cnt wait to see wht my little one will look like. Do you have any advice, things to look out for or how to deal with over bearing friends??? I will be a new mommy soon this year and these hormonal changes along with the added pressure of crazy intense friends, grad school, and buying a house are really weighing on me!

MY RESPONSE:
Thank you for your comment. Wow you have a lot happening for you Ms. Crawford : ) Throughout your pregnancy your body will constantly change. Almost as much as your attitude and appetite. Its very important for you to listen to your body. Its pretty good at telling you when something is wrong. Get as much rest as possible and try to stick to a healthy diet. If you haven't already, you can join www.babycenter.com
Its a good way to track your babies development, chat with other pregnant women and find advice from experts.Overbearing friends? hmmm. I've had a few myself. Don't be afraid to let them know when they're over stepping their boundaries. Now is the time for you to enjoy your pregnancy...not to worry. Keep in mind that mom and dad aren't the only ones who are eagerly waiting to meet the bundle of joy growing inside of you. So try to find a way to involve your loved ones as much as possible. Whether its choosing your baby's name, making baby shower arrangements, shopping, etc. Once you get closer to delivery you will need all the additional help that you can get. Since you have a lot going on right now take a moment to just relax. Treat yourself to the spa or try a couple's spa package for you and your hubby. Speaking of your hubby, this is all new to him as well, www.babycenter.com is a great way for him to get insight on the changes that you and your baby are going through. Things such as your sudden mood swings may come to him as a surprise, its important for him to understand not to take them personal : ) Best wishes to you both and congratulations on your success and the soon arrival of your little one! <3
