I will never

Now before I was pregnant I would always talk to Tyler about things I would never say or would never do while I was pregnant. I would see pregnant women and criticize them for things they were doing or saying. Little did I know how pregnancy is something you can never really prepare yourself for. I have had a amazingly easy pregnancy and I have very little to complain about, but even with it being so easy its been challenging and crazy.
Before I knew anything I would say
"I'm going to go to the gym 6-7 days a week while I'm pregnant. Just because I'm pregnant doesn't mean I have to stop being productive." Little did I know how tired you are after a days work and that temptation that was there before you were carrying around 20-30 extra pounds is 100 times worse. All you want to do is sit on that couch or go to bed at 7:00 every night. I'm lucky that I have made it to the gym 1-2 times a week while pregnant, this has even been hard for me.
" When I'm pregnant I'm going to eat so healthy, I wont eat any junk unless special occasion and I will eat fruits and veggies like chocolate." ha ha yeah this was working out so good maybe the first month. Then that apple turned into a brownie and that tomato juice turned into a sprite :)
" I'm never going to waddle or walk like there is a stick up my butt." I havent noticed myself doing this but Tyler was quick to point out the other day that at the store I was waddling. Just Great!
" I would be a cute pregnant women everyday and not gain more then 20-25 pounds." hahahaha yeah right I'm lucky to get makeup on everyday and brush my hair.
The point of this is really you never know how you will react in any situation till your in it. Its so crazy to think I'm 8 months pregnant and I have 8 weeks left! I have been pregnant for 32 weeks and I'm so blessed to be able to go through this. Life is short and I need to stop worrying about what I will do or act like in situations. I need to just live life in the moment and enjoy every second for what it is now.

Well said. Now I know not to worry too much about how I'm going to sound when I get pregnant. I say stuff like that now, and I am sure I too will change my tune when it's me.

Haha! This made me laugh!! I think all pregnant woman waddle... it's inevitable! And screw eating healthy and working out (even though I'm paying for it now...). It's fun to just enjoy it as much as you can.... which I know you have! Can't believe you're already down to the last few weeks!!
