Surround Yourself With Positive People!

(My private journals from my 1st pregnancy.)

I’m so excited! I’m in my second trimester now, and I’m also feeling better. I started taking exercise classes this week; and even though I’ve taught exercise for years, it’s different being a student. I don’t have to think about which moves are coming next—I just follow along. And the instructor is great! She was very encouraging about the baby. I’m finding that it is really important to surround myself with supportive, happy, encouraging people.

My mom and I had a good talk on the phone today. I asked her if it was easier raising boys or girls, and she said, “Raising boys and girls is just different, but one isn’t harder than the other.” That’s good to know.
