No, I don’t want to start fresh in 2010. Eh, I’ll pass on the goals setting (and the best applications to track them). Bah, I’m just not interesting in the whole New-Year resolution thing this year. Maybe it’s because I’m pregnant (and pregnant women are smug*) and it just doesn’t seem that important. I’m growing a person! Isn’t that enough?
This is all a bit tongue in cheek. I’ve been seeing a lot of articles about setting goals and keeping resolutions. Normally, I love stuff like that (any time of the year), but for now I just shrug and move on to something else.
That’s not to say I don’t have areas I’d like to improve. I just don’t feel like over thinking and planning and reading articles and tracking it and poking it and prodding it—a significant transition over my pre-pregnancy self. I just feel more relaxed about it all.
So, here are a few things I’m not thinking about, but doing as I progress through my 2nd and 3rd trimester:
- Cut back on (or eliminate) sugar from my diet.
- Eat more vegetables.
- Walk outdoors more.
- Keep the house clean more consistently.
- Keep growing the sprout.
That’s it. I’m not going to make a chart with gold stars or find an application for my phone to help me keep these new habits–I’m just going to do them.

Mom, I promise to write more. He’s such a..."
That song is really funny…those girls are so cute…I found more of them on you tube and apparently that dark haired one has been on scrubs and a movie even. Interesting. But what’s really funny to me is that after JUST reading this what…maybe a day ago…Amy Adams (new movie LEAP YEAR) was on Letterman last night and she’s pregnant and was telling HIM about this song. haha! Wouldn’t have known what she was talking about if not for you!
Congrats on the pregnancy…it never goes like anyone expects it. My only advice (based on my opinion of my 2 pregnancies…) if you FAIL your 1st glucose test…then PASS the 2nd one (borderline or not)…TRY TRY TRY to limit all sugar and get good exercise…because mine did that both times…and both times I ended up with pre-eclampsia…and I think it’s because I was truly borderline gestational diabetic and it wasn’t treated and I didn’t watch what I was eating. Just my opinion though…not fact. 
Don’t worry…that “cute” bump will come out in the next month I bet ya! Then watch out…EVERYONE will want to touch it!! hahah!
