The hardest thing about being pregnant

The hardest thing about being pregnant
by Andi Lutz

I think the hardest thing about being pregnant for me is constantly worrying about every little thing that’s going on with that life inside me.

Is she growing like she’s supposed to?

If I eat this will it cause her to have an allergy to it?

If I bend over too much am I squashing her?

Is the umbilical cord wrapped around her neck?

How does the doctor know that the umbilical cord is not wrapped around her neck now?

Is she moving enough?

Am I moving enough?

Is that pain that I’m having normal?

And a million other things go through my mind everyday. All I think about is the baby, all I stress about is the baby, all I smile about is the baby. The baby is the only thing in my life right now, nothing else exists.

Chances are that if I am worrying she is feeling the effects of that so I try not to do that and that is easier said than done. I want to do everything right even from before she is born. She is the best thing that has ever happened to me, sorry Dear Husband. But I think he would agree, she is the best thing that has ever happened to US.

Pregnancy isn’t hard at all for me, I love it, I wish I started having babies years ago. But the only thing that is hard is myself getting in the way. I just keep repeating that women have been having babies for a long time and this whole process has been perfected. So trust in it and know that everything is going to work out and in the end nothing else matters but that little smiling face.

How would you describe yourself?

In ten words or less This question created a challenge. I don't like to think about myself much in a judging way. I try not to. I could take the easy way out and say I have brown hair and blue eyes, I am emotional and caring. However, I'm not going to do that. Really describing myself made me dig deep. At first, I thought I am a person who will help anyone who is in need, except that's not true.

Kill Rejection with Positive Motivation

Kill Rejection with Positive Motivation by Andi Lutz Rejection is everywhere. Every time someone unsubscribes from my website I feel it like a punch to my self-confidence. Am I really good enough for this writing thing. Why don’t they want to read what I have to say? Did I write something they didn’t like? But you can’t please everyone. It’s going to happen, you are going to get rejected a lot as a writer. The thing is, you can’t stop just because someone tells you no, or that you need to work on so and so, or you aren’t good enough. You need to keep going, you need to write more to get to the place you want to be. You need more positive motivation and not to dwell on the negative.

Please Invade My Privacy week 7

Please Invade My Privacy by Andi Lutz Week 7 Well people, I am getting very brave. I decided to do something huge. I started a mommy group that walks every day, in order to get out of the house and get some exercise and also make friends. Let me just, say that this was scary. In my head I’m outgoing and everyone wants to be my friend, I’m the life of the party. But really, when it comes down to it and I am allowed the time to anticipate the whole thing I’m a sweaty, bumbling idiot. But I must try, so let’s walk mommies! I found another mom in the area who agreed to meet me to walk. That’s good since I lost my best friend to a poop emergency a few weeks ago (read Week 2.) The days leading up to our walk were stressful, I bought pepper spray in case it was some crazy person pretending to be a nice innocent mommy. But in the end, it turned out to be a real mom, with kids and well, this is what happened.
