Preggos: Listen Up!

*note:  my next few "What in the Cathair" entries will be "top ten", or "ten things about...." something.... hope you enjoy!

Ok so you are pregnant- Praise the Lord and good for you! Here are 12 things (sorry I have 12 on this one:)  to remember for the next 9 months:)


1.God has just performed a miracle inside your body.  Don't ever take it lightly.

2.Yes you are expecting, but you are not as fragile as you think.  Continue to work, or take care of your other kids, or whatever you do normally. (unless you have been put on bed rest and that is a whole other horse of a different color) You might bend but you won't break.

3.Miscarriages happen.  If that happens to you, grieve well, do something significant to remember that baby, that you will someday see in Heaven.  Then move on.

4.Morning sickness?  (or afternoon or evening)  Yup.   It will pass.  And the end product is worth it.  Oh yaaaa.

5.Anything you gain (like pounds) except for about 20 of them have to come off in the end.  Don't eat your pantry and then start on the shelves:)

6.If you are confined to bed rest, ask God daily what he is teaching YOU.  I was on bed rest with 2 of mine- He taught me lessons DAILY... whoops I mean hourly:)

7.Your doctor knows more than the internet.   Period.

8.But your mom knows more than both:)

9. Have sex with your husband alot.  Nuf Said.

10.Yes, it's painful to birth a baby.  Anyone who tells you otherwise is lying.  The end product far outweighs that little bit of pain.

11.Don't be so darn crabby... suck it up, you are WOMAN!

12.When you birth your baby, she/he is fearfully and wonderfully made by your God.  Whether disabled or "normal" by the world's standard, (whatever in the cat hair "normal" is). ...      Love that baby with your whole heart, and until your dying day.
