Here is another post under my Keep Calm and Eat On Series, just to whine about the issues I am facing for my pregnancy. And, I thank you for listening ahead of time, if you are too kind to read on, lol.

Confessions

Nine months of pregancy is a long time to be totally careful about everything and to keep up horrors like food deprivation (I caved and gave into some temptations). Mind you, I still eat healthy meals in reasonable quantities and generally haven’t binged on a ton of fast food. There are also other things I do lately that are not good, or things that I have neglected to do.

Quite honestly, at this point, I’m too tired to stay overly vigilant, or to do what I am supposed to be doing due to laziness. For example:

• This week, I have been eating too much sweet such as dates and Nutella (hello, Type 2 Diabetes)

• Smacking my belly with all kinds of chairs, doors, walls while trying to squeeze by (I have absolutely no sense of my “new size”)

• Doing no exercise at all and just sitting or laying around (what if my unborn child picks up from me being lazy, also poor blood circulation may harm my baby's health too)

• Being lazy about pelvic floor exercises (this makes postpartum recovery harder, I ain't young you know!!)

• Watching too much horror / violent / loud movies or shows even though baby is supposed to have sharpened hearing now

• Not spending enough time listening to classical music or kid's friendly stuffs to help my baby get a good 'early childhood education'

• Too lazy to go outdoor on sunny days to get some sun for baby

According to this list, I make for a pretty crappy mom to be. Not the worst, but definitely not the best. Meh! Time will tell.

Keep Calm and Eat On

On that note, I tell myself to keep calm and eat on. It is Sunday in Toronto and we are about to head out for a good Sunday brunch. I love to brunch and before we head out, let me think ahead of time all the possible plates I may be ordering, lol:
