By now, all the things that happen during the first part of pregnancy are pretty common knowledge. The morning sickness, the exhaustion, the heightened sense of smell, the constant peeing…
So I’d like to take a moment and address all the things that DON’T happen in early pregnancy, like:
Getting Christmas put away
(this is my house at this moment, the end of January…)
Sufficiently supervising your toddler
(please, dear toddler who is sensitive to both dairy and chocolate, get into the brownies again and tell me how “mmmmm” they are…)
Anything that involves standing for longer than it takes to get from one place to another
(like dishes, or any other housework, really.)
Or anything involving being upright for more than 10 minutes
(like cooking a proper meal)
School work that has to be supervised
(I promise, we’ve only skipped spelling twice this week…)
Meeting Deadlines
(I promised a sling to my good friend before her baby boy arrives. She was due Tuesday. I promise it’s going to happen this weekend, friend!)
