Your Jalie 2005 makeover was v. inspiring. I'm going to try doing the FBA your way to preserve the waistline.

I totally hear you on the slow down in productivity, the excitement, the strangely overwhelming love for someone I know only from kicks and squirms.

Do it now, if you have the energy.<br /><br />But naps are fantastic, try to take at least one a day.Kristahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06964580963048511157noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-863792023187803515.post-46656335759077446712010-05-02T15:19:30.030-04:002010-05-02T15:19:30.030-04:00Try a 15-min warm feet bath of juniper berries at...Try a 15-min warm feet bath of juniper berries at the end of the day. Make sure you let the berries stay in the water for a couple of minutes and press the oil out in the water first. You only need 5-6 of them.

I've never been pregnant, though I've given birth to some pretty awesome dreads years ago, and strangers just assumed they can walk right up to me and just touch my hair. It made me so uncomfortable! lol. Anyway, I'm very excited for you and wish you all the best. :DAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-863792023187803515.post-3728539427734292522010-05-02T08:55:25.661-04:002010-05-02T08:55:25.661-04:00Girl, I will give you (what I consider to be) the ...Girl, I will give you (what I consider to be) the best advice in my New Mom arsenal:<br /><br />SLEEP NOW.<br /><br />All sorts of people will say, "Oh, you're eight months pregnant! Here, sit down/don't pick that up/take a nap/eat this chocolate".<br /><br />No one EVER says, "Oh, you have a three month old who hasn't slept in three weeks and is rapidly making you ponder how to join the French Foreign Legion! Here, sit down/don't pick that up/take a nap/eat this chocolate". <br /><br />Never.<br /><br />You deserve REST and no excuses needed.

Sounds like you are well prepared though. Get some rest and we'll all be here when your blogging maternity leave is over!Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11529913156270137127noreply@blogger.com
