While pregnant....

Don't:

1. Don't make a big move if you can help it, it's stressful and a lot of hard work! (that's a word from experience)
2. Don't buy all new stuff for the baby's room... you will be amazed what you can reuse from baby number 1 or friends.
3. Don't try to do too many projects! You need to rest and relax, stress is not good for anyone!
4. Don't be afraid to ask for help! Everyone wants to help a pregnant lady!

Do:
1. Take time to journal about your experiences, it's nice to look back on if you have another pregnancy and it helps you remember all the great things that happened!
2. do have fun decorating the nursery!
3. Spend time with your spouse and/or children. It's the last time you will have that time for them!
4. Take naps, as many as you can get!

There are of course, lots more things to do while pregnant, but these are the ones that really stick out in my mind. The most imporatant thing to do is enjoy your time bonding with your baby!
