For those of you who have children, you know many people are more than happy to give advice, criticisms, and their opinions in general. I am sure this can be annoying.
However, I am enjoying the tips and advice folks are giving me for getting through pregnancy in one piece. Hallelujah! Thank you! I appreciate it, try most, and absorb it all. You know, having never been pregnant before and all, I do like advice from the "pros."
One precious sister-in-law said it best though, "Everyone will have a comment, and will want to tell you their story. But remember, this is yours, so enjoy every moment. Your experience won't be like anyone else's, so just enjoy it all and soak it in the best you can." Wise words from a beautiful woman!
Actually, I love the fact that all mothers can have such a different journey, one will be pregnant, another adopt, another will welcome a child in through foster care, but yet they still have that one common bond that gently weaves them together: they understand the mother's heart. Amazing really, absolutely amazing.

Sometime advice can get old, but here's mine (dontcha love it?) - listen to it all and discard what you don't need. I never would have gotten through the first trimester of pregnancy without mineral water and crackers for my queasy stomach. I hate mineral water with a passion, but advice from a friend led me to try it, and lo and behold, it worked! So, you never know. But, if one more stranger gives me advice on how to control my overactive daughter while grocery shopping, I *am* going to scream!
